>> it's good to be back with you on this second hour of chris jansing reports at this hour, what fed chair jerome powell said about his next moves on interest rates and what president trump has to do with it. and a second measles death has now been reported amid the ongoing outbreak, this time in new mexico. what we know about this latest death coming just over a week after a child in texas became the first person in the u.s. to die from measles in a decade. plus, the d.o.j. is putting out the call to boost hiring in border districts eyeing positions now in immigration enforcement. what it could mean for addressing one of the president's top priorities. also, in two hours, we will get an update on the mysterious deaths of legendary actor gene hackman and his wife. what we know now. our nbc news reporters are following all of the latest

developments, but we start with the latest from federal reserve chairman jerome powell. nbc's brian chung has the details. what exactly did he say? because people are buzzing about it. >> well, there's a lot to talk about, considering that we just got a job report this morning that showed 151,000 jobs added in america in february. this is the first jobs report that really reflects anything having to do with the trump administration, because the report prior was done prior to inauguration, so that 151,000 jobs gained is pretty solid and in line with perhaps what we've been seeing in the past few months. but nonetheless, there's the concern about tariffs slowing the pace of hiring in the months to come. federal reserve chairman jerome powell, who is the steward of this economy at the nation's independent central bank, opining on this in the morning or opining on this a few hours ago. take a listen to what he said. >> policy is not on a preset course if the economy remains strong, but inflation does not continue to move sustainably toward 2%, we can maintain policy restraint for longer. our current policy stance is well positioned to deal with the

risks and uncertainties that we face in pursuing both sides of our mandate. >> so translation there for people that don't speak federal reserve, what that means is that essentially, the federal reserve is not too swayed by anything that's been happening as of late when it comes to their interest rates, which they've been slowly cutting over time. but the expectation is now with this uncertainty, as the fed chair was mentioning, they're not in any hurry to further cut interest rates, which means that for those that are looking at those mortgage rates or looking at those high credit card borrowing rates, they're not likely to go down substantially anytime soon. chris. >> brian chung, thank you. now to new mexico, where a person tested positive for measles after dying. nbc's emily ikeda is following this story for us. second death in ten days linked to the measles. what more do we know? >> well, and it's driving. >> up concern. >> around. the seriousness. >> of this situation and how rapidly cases are spreading. we know from health officials in new mexico this was an adult who was not vaccinated. they were they tested positive for measles

after they died. they did not seek treatment again, according to health officials in new mexico. right now, the officials in that area are urging people to get vaccinated as the number of cases continues to spread, tripling in just the past couple of days. in one county in eastern new mexico. we just got those numbers a short time ago, and it borders the epicenter of this whole outbreak in west texas in gaines county, where numbers have also been climbing. now 198 cases, according to texas health officials across the state. that is up from 159 cases a few days ago. we know the vast majority of the cases are emerging in people who are not vaccinated and under 18 years old. officials say the best protection against this serious disease is vaccination. about 1 in 5 measles cases results in hospitalizations, and now it appears two people have died as a result of the measles. the latest incident still under investigation. this all comes in

the background of this. vaccination rates continue to fall. they're dipping down over the last couple of years. take a look at this. kindergartners were at around 95% of kindergartners a couple of years ago had the mmr vaccine, while last year that number dipped below 93%. as again, officials underscore the importance of being vaccinated around this disease that is easily transmittable. for instance, experts say that if you are in a room, ten people in a room with someone who is infected, and if all ten people are unvaccinated, nine of the ten people would contract measles. chris. >> wow, that is a sobering statistic. emily akita thank you. the trump administration is ramping up staffing near the southern border. nbc's ryan riley is reporting from d.c. what is happening there, ryan? >> so essentially, there is this memo. >> from the deputy attorney. >> general of the united states basically unfreezing hiring for areas along the border that are handling a lot of these immigration cases. it all goes to the trump administration's really intense focus on. immigration cases. and the

question is whether that will be to the detriment of other. >> cases that are. >> typically handled by assistant u.s. attorneys and federal prosecutors across the country. it also gives employees an opportunity to or, i guess, opens up the possibility that employees within the d.c. region or. at headquarters here in washington of the justice department could volunteer. >> for these. >> positions out. in various field offices or various u.s. attorney's offices around the country, particularly those. >> ones where there's a real. >> focus on immigration. >> and it just really. >> is hammering. >> home this this idea from the top levels of the justice department, that immigration is going. >> to be a major. >> major focus. >> during the trump administration. >> and going forward. >> chris ryan riley, thank you. now to the deaths of actor gene hackman and his wife. nbc's danny griffin is following this story. i know we're now at less than two hours away from what we're expecting to be an update from investigators. what might we hear from them? >> well, chris. >> this. >> may be the most significant

update in this. >> death investigation. nine days after. >> the bodies of 95. >> year old. >> gene hackman and his 65 year old wife, betsy arakawa. arakawa, along with their dog, were found dead inside their santa fe, new mexico home. what's significant is this is the first time we are having a. joint conference, which includes the medical investigator, the fire department, the sheriff's office, and the health department. we know that we are. we know that the sheriff's office was awaiting toxicology results. we were told that could take up to months, but we know that the sheriff was trying to fast track those results. so maybe we'll get a timeline or get some more information as to what may have caused their deaths. we know that. so far. external trauma has been ruled out. also, any sort of gas leak or carbon monoxide has been ruled out. just a few days ago, the fire department said that they did an extensive investigation and found no significant leaks within the house. however, they did have to red tag some items, including a burner. but again, that leak was so small that it would not have caused their deaths. we also learned that gene hackman's pacemaker last registered on

february 17th, at least nine days before the bodies were found. so it's raising a lot of questions as to maybe why no one was notified. and i spoke to one of gene hackman's friends. his name is stuart ashman. he shared just a little bit about his friend. they used to do pilates together, and also some questions he has surrounding this investigation. listen, how would you describe gene? >> you know. >> he was. >> he was a very he was. >> the. >> common man, you. >> know. he was very easygoing, really. >> enjoyed life. most people wonder why didn't that pacemaker notify anyone? >> yeah, i. >> was wondering. >> that myself. >> i guess. >> it's too bad that it didn't ring an alarm. >> somewhere, you know. >> could have. >> saved him. >> and i think people are looking forward to this press conference in just a couple of hours, because there's a lot of speculation. even this morning at a starbucks, you hear just the chatter amongst the community, everyone wondering

what happened. they're giving their theories. and maybe today we'll finally get some answers to kind of put to rest all the speculation out there. we have not heard from the hackman family in more than a week, when they issued a statement saying that they are absolutely devastated by this loss. chris. >> dana griffin, thank you. coming up in 90s breaking news why the trump administration just canceled $400 million in just canceled $400 million in funding for columbia university. prilosec knows, for a fire... one fire extinguisher beats 10 buckets of water, and for zero heartburn 1 prilosec a day... beats taking up to 10 antacids a day. it's that simple, for 24 hour heartburn relief... one beats ten. prilosec otc. >> economy. >> perhaps they need to call it something else.

trump administration canceling $400 million worth of grants and contracts for columbia university, citing what they call consistent inaction in the face of, quote, persistent harassment of jewish students. nbc's aaron gilchrist is reporting from dc. what have we heard? has columbia responded? >> columbia has responded. we reached out to them for a response to this action that's coming from the department of education, the doj as well. the university says that it's looking at the announcement at this point. we can show you part of the statement we received from them that says we are reviewing the announcement from the federal agencies and pledged to work with the federal government to restore columbia's federal funding. we take columbia's legal obligations seriously and understand how seriously this announcement is, and are committed to combating anti-semitism and ensuring the safety and well-being of our students, faculty and staff. there was part of the statement from these agencies, the

department of education and others that said, for too long, columbia has abandoned its obligation to jewish students. and today we demonstrate to columbia and other universities that we will not tolerate their appalling inaction any longer. that's from the new education secretary, linda mcmahon. and you might remember that in the days after the hamas attack on israel, we did see these pro-palestinian demonstrations at universities, different universities around the country. columbia university, obviously was one where we saw many demonstrations. and since then there's been a joint task force stood up in the federal government that was designed to combat anti-semitism. and there have been investigations of different universities, columbia, at different points in time during the biden administration, as a matter of fact. and now we have this action coming from the trump administration, chris, where we've now seen about $400 million in federal grants and contracts that are being canceled by this administration because it doesn't believe that

columbia has done enough to protect jewish students. and so we'll be listening to see what columbia says it has done and what it will do in the future in hopes of trying to reinstate these grants and other programs. chris. >> aaron gilchrist, thank you. a dramatic show of force from elon musk's doge team. a day after his staffers were denied access to the headquarters of a small agency, the u.s. african development foundation. they returned and forced entry, this time with u.s. marshals in tow. the washington post reports that u.s. atf staffers inside the office exited the building via a stairwell to avoid a confrontation with doge employees and the marshals. that's according to agency officials. an emergency lawsuit was filed and a judge blocked doge from removing the agency's head, at least until tuesday. i want to bring in mark mckinnon, former adviser to george w bush and john mccain and creator of the circus. joining me here in studio. msnbc legal

correspondent lisa rubin. mark, i want to read a little more of the post's reporting on this pretty wild scene in d.c. i'm quoting as agency personnel waited outside and huddled together at a nearby business. some received calls from nate kavanaugh, the 28 year old tech entrepreneur working with doge, who requested employees return and grant him access to the computer systems. but no us atf officials returned to the office. president trump has called this small foundation unnecessary, but bringing in the us marshals seems to be quite an escalation. where does this kind of thing heading? >> the courts, i guess. >> you know, the one thing. >> that donald trump is doing is keeping his pledge to move fast and break things, and they are moving at lightning speed and breaking a lot of things. and they are, you know, going up against not just conventional wisdom and past sort of performance about how you go about these things, but they're they're bending the they're bending this in. >> a.

>> way that we've never seen before. >> and. >> and the question is, is it legal? do they have the authority to do it? >> they're not. >> waiting for the. >> authority to do it. >> they're just simply doing it. and they're waiting for to see whatever courts might impose a different point of view about what they're able to do, but they're not waiting on the courts for now. >> lisa, it is dramatic to think about people fleeing through the back and, you know, apparently afraid of what might happen. but what does it say in the lawsuit? >> the lawsuit essentially says, chris, that doge. is not properly constituted. >> under the law. this is a conversation you and i have now had several times. >> but the argument. >> is that. because the head of. >> doge is. >> not nominated. >> by the president and confirmed by the senate. >> they are. >> exercising authority that they don't. >> constitutionally have, and. therefore any. >> efforts to shut down the. u.s. african. >> development foundation. >> or remove its president, ward brehm, from. >> his. position are. >> unconstitutional and unlawful. and we have an administrative stay, as you noted. that prevents the removal

of mr. brehm until tuesday at least. >> meantime, in another case, a judge had some harsh words about the removal of a member of the national labor relations board. quote, blatant violation of the law, adding that an american president is not a king. tell us more about that case and what the judge said about presidential powers. >> judge basically said the president doesn't have the power to remove a member of the nlrb, except for misfeasance or incompetence. there are a series of circumstances in which a president does have removal powers, but they can't just willy nilly decide to fire any member of that board. there is a statute that sets forth the conditions under which a member of that board can be removed. those conditions haven't been met. and the judge said that that congressional statute was a fair use of congressional authority. the president can't just override that, given his understanding of his maximalist powers. >> so, mark, the judge also said that trump's, quote, interpretation of the scope of

his constitutional power or more aptly, his aspiration is flat, wrong, very stark language. has it surprised you at all that donald trump's interpretation of the breadth of his power, power, power that largely comes, frankly, at the expense of congress isn't getting more pushback from republicans in congress? >> yeah, i guess. >> that is the surprise. >> i mean, i was glad to see the supreme court in another. >> recent. >> ruling, sort of uphold the constitutional notion that congress has some authority here. what is surprising, though, is the extent to which we haven't heard from congress, because all of these things that are happening are through the constitution, authorities given to congress. so why isn't congress making more noise about it? and that's just, you know. >> that's just more. >> affirmation and confirmation. of just how completely donald trump has taken over the republican party. >> to. >> the. point where he's descended. he's created a, you know, he put a blanket over any dissent from the members, even

simply doing the jobs that they're supposed to be doing. >> mark mckinnon, lisa rubin, thank you both. meanwhile, on capitol hill, we're getting a new sense of just how much pressure republicans face from the maga wing of the party, especially those who show signs of breaking with president trump in any way. nbc's julie sirkin is on the hill for us. and i know you've got a new interview with republican senator thom tillis, north carolina. it shows that tension. what did he tell you? >> it was just a stunning interview and a stunning moment. >> that. >> i had with him. chris. and this came after the gop political consultant closely aligned to maga world with close personal ties to vice president jd vance, to don jr, somebody who's been in that orbit for some time. he posted on x, essentially knocking on tillis, showing a hypothetical matchup between tillis and the democratic governor of the state, roy cooper, in a potential senate matchup next year when tillis is up for reelection, showing tillis trailing him by 20 points. tillis was really frustrated about this, and this isn't the first time that we heard about

arthur schwartz as it relates to tillis, as it relates to some of these other senators who were question marks on some of the more controversial nominees, like and we'll talk about it on the other side. >> let me do due diligence. don't tell me how to do my job. and arthur schwartz should not even be walking the halls of the white house, in my opinion, based on his behavior towards joni ernst and other members. he wants to flex with me. then we are where we are. anything that he represents in congress, he better not have his fingerprints on it. because i'm a reflexive no to anything he represents. that's how badly i think he is for the president. behavior by people like this guy. it's the thing that's the single greatest threat to us delivering a majority next year. >> that was some fighting words from senator tillis over there. you might be thinking, who is this guy? why does he matter? but it is political consultants like him, operatives who have immense power behind the scenes, not only because perhaps they have some funding that they could throw into primary contests for some of these

vulnerable republicans, like joni ernst, like thom tillis. there's a bunch of them up in 2026, but many moderate members who may question certain aspects of president trump's agenda. schwartz, in this case, is still relevant because he is shepherding around nominees, including the number two for pete hegseth at dodd bridge. colby, who some defense hawks in the senate republicans have taken issue with for his views on china. on iran. arthur schwartz is shepherding him through that confirmation process here in the capitol. so he'll be one to watch. and if tillis is saying he's an automatic retroactive no on anything that he touches, well, that's interesting. but it also probably doesn't bode well for tillis future if he wants to keep his seat. chris. >> julie sirkin, thanks for bringing us that interview. appreciate it. and coming up, nationalism on the rise across our southern and northern borders triggered by trump's trade war. you're watching chris trade war. you're watching chris jansing reports only on -what've you got there, larry? -time machine. you gonna go back and see how the pyramids were built or something? nope. ellen and i want to go on vacation, so i'm going to go back to last week

hats that say never 51, a reference to president trump's persistent talk about annexing canada jokes that canadian officials have begun to take seriously. joining us now is richard haass, president emeritus of the council on foreign relations, senior counselor at centerview partners and author of the weekly substack newsletter, home and away. richard, how did our closest friends, neighbors and allies get to canada? first in mexico, first? >> well, a couple of reasons. >> one is we've essentially. >> declared economic war on them. >> trade war with these tariffs, which are inconsistent with the agreement. >> what was. >> originally nafta, then the usmca. >> they thought they'd end it. >> they'd entered an open. >> ended era of collaboration on economic matters, and suddenly they find themselves the target of american tariffs. they are, you know, deeply, deeply dependent on access to the american. >> market. >> overwhelmingly dependent on

it. so this is a real threat to their economic. >> you know. >> existence, if you will, for the foreseeable future. then i think the. president's also. ratcheted up. you talked about, of course, the talk of the 51st state. there's been some supposedly exchanges really confrontational between him and soon to be former prime minister justin trudeau, where. >> the. >> presidents raised the possibility of redrawing some of the maps between the united states and canada. like other nato countries, canada is unhappy with american distancing in the security area. we could go on and on. and then mexico. >> obviously. >> all the talk about going after cartels and so forth, that kind of extraterritorial american military involvement, shall we say, raises up some controversial pieces of history. so for all these reasons, our two, two of our three most important trading partners are essentially now increasingly defining themselves in opposition to us. >> yeah, they are our most

important, our biggest trading partners. we reported on the bourbon earlier this week. now we're we're talking about wine being pulled from shelves. i mean, let's not kid ourselves. california was already having a rough time. parts of it with the wildfires. now this there's concern that it will expand to the tourist industry. there's been anecdotal reporting about people canceling trips. canada and mexico by far bring the most tourists into the united states. uk's third, and it's a distant third. so i know that the message has been kind of no pain, no gain. but is there a point beyond which the pain is disproportionate to the gain and it might be recognized by the administration? >> my sense is this, this is. >> going to be one of those. >> wars where there's no winners. every everyone is going to lose. each of us is dependent on the other. you can't even if you know canada and mexico's economic dependance on us is

greater than ours is on american industries are extraordinarily dependent on what comes across either our northern or southern border. so i think at some point there's going to be a mutual interest in finding a way to back down. i you know, i also think just to make a larger point, one of the great strategic advantages of the united states is we get up every morning and our relations with our immediate neighbors is good. that has given us the luxury for centuries to focus on other parts of the world. well, if we now have a situation where we can't cooperate with them, where we don't work with them against terrorism, or they see us as a threat, that will have implications not just for our bilateral relations, but for america's ability to act anywhere and everywhere. >> you know, after trump imposed the tariffs first on canada earlier this week, prime minister trudeau had a rather extraordinary assessment of what he thinks donald trump wants. here it is.

>> one thing. >> he. >> has said repeatedly that. what he wants is to see a total collapse of the. canadian economy, because. >> that will make it. >> easier to annex us, is. >> the second. >> half. >> of his thought. >> now, first of all. >> that's never. >> going to happen. we will. >> never be the 51st state. >> well, the new york times is reporting trump told trudeau he didn't believe that the treaty that demarcates the border between the two countries was valid. that's according to four people with firsthand knowledge of the conversation. canadian officials seem to be now legitimately worried that trump is serious about this 51st state thing. is there a dispute about our border that we're unaware of? >> no, there's no dispute there. but we've generated it as a as an issue as part of a larger pattern in foreign policy. we've seen it with the challenge or threat to the to panama's control of the canal, even though they had done nothing to deserve it. we see all the talk

of greenland, even though denmark's been one of the most stalwart supporters of the united states in nato, the threat to canada and so forth. one of the ironies of this in the short run, it's totally upended canadian politics. six weeks ago, the conservative party candidate was more than 25 points ahead in the polls against either justin trudeau or anybody else from the liberal party. guess what? now, the two people who want to succeed justin trudeau in the liberal party are ahead of the polls, ahead of their conservative challenger. it's a good lesson that we're not the only country that feels nationalism. if we bully too much, if we push too hard, others will push back and they will increasingly define themselves against us. and that won't be good for any of us. >> when you see canada and you see mexico rallying around their leaders, including, as you say, justin trudeau, who was down, what, 20 points or 25 points, it could trump ultimately and unintendedly be remaking the

world order against himself. >> quite possibly. and i think we're beginning to see signs of it in europe, where people are unhappy with american what looks to be somewhat, to use a strong word. well, we'll use the safer word distancing from ukraine. some would say abandonment. obviously, the cozying up to russia and taiwan. there's real questions about american willingness to stand by taiwan against china. there's those who look at all this and they say, is the united states making the world safe for spheres of influence? china would dominate asia, russia would dominate europe. that would mean we would dominate this part of the world. well, among the many problems is people in this part of the world don't want to be dominated by the united states. people in other parts of the world don't want to be dominated by russia or china. so american foreign policy now seems to be moving on a trajectory that very few will support. >> richard haass, to be continued. thank you. have a great weekend. >> thanks, chris. >> a threat for more than 80 years ago caused travel chaos in

>> a major development in the case of adnan syed, whose story was made famous in the podcast serial. after months of legal back and forth, a baltimore judge ruled that syed will not go back to prison. instead, his sentence is time served under a law for those who are convicted of crimes as minors and serve at least 20 years. his conviction for the murder of his high school girlfriend, hae min lee, however, stands. in a statement, a lawyer for syed said he is grateful and relieved to active duty, and one former u.s. army soldier are now in custody, accused of trying to sell military secrets to china. the fbi says this photo shows one of

them, an army sergeant stationed at joint base lewis-mcchord in washington, taking photos of military information. he's also accused of stealing dozens of classified hard drives marked secret that he negotiated to sell. nbc's ken dilanian is reporting from washington, d.c. so, ken, what more do we know about this alleged scheme? >> chris. >> the two. >> active duty soldiers. worked on the. >> same base, although. >> there's no allegation these two. >> cases are related. but both. >> men are accused of. >> bribery and theft in connection with alleged schemes to steal and sell sensitive military information, in. >> one case, to people in china. >> the two soldiers are. >> not charged. >> with spying, which. >> suggests the. >> government at the moment can't prove. >> they knew they were helping a foreign government. but attorney general pam bondi. said the. >> two were, quote. >> actively working. >> to weaken america's defense capabilities. >> and empowering our adversaries. >> in china. >> take a listen to the fbi special. >> agent in charge. >> in los angeles. >> the information that is at

risk here is information that identifies the united states military's capabilities, plans and intentions and could really put us at a severe disadvantage if that were to fall in the wrong hands for an adversary. >> experts say these cases spotlight the extent to which china is constantly trying. >> to. >> obtain american secrets. >> it's also worth. >> noting that this week, the justice department indicted 12 chinese nationals and what they said was a massive cyber spying operation. >> and, chris, it's. >> further worth noting that the fbi, which is the agency we rely on. >> to protect. >> the. >> country from foreign. >> espionage, is reeling right now amid the firings of senior executives and. >> concerns that. >> the. >> bureau is now being run by two. >> people who have accused it without evidence of being hopelessly corrupt. chris. >> ken dilanian. thank you. let's take a look at what's happening right now. hundreds of protesters at the national mall taking on the trump administration's cuts to research funding. the mass firing of federal employees and political interference in federal research.

>> we are looking at the most aggressively anti-science government. >> the united. >> states has ever had. >> we will. >> not stand for. >> the dismantling. >> of the american scientific workforce. >> do not be intimidated. do not back down. >> do not. >> let. them silence. >> you or the science that keeps us all safe. >> the stand up for science protest happening in other cities across the country as well. the organizers are scientists generally, with little experience in political activism. but they do have a central message to the nation's lawmakers. science is for everyone. joining me, democratic strategist and author of the salty politics newsletter on substack, julie roginsky. so, julie, the new york times reports that stand up for science leaders threw together a website so rudimentary initially that visitors had to type the w-w-w in manually or else. the address raised an error. within days, an improved site received

so many, so much traffic it crashed. is this the kind of ground up energy that democrats need right now, or is it just more noise? >> absolutely. this is exactly what democrats need right now, because the leadership of the democratic party is falling short, quite honestly, in communicating our values. and so it remains that it has to be people like these people who have never been really politically engaged before, and others in the grassroots who are saying very plainly as americans, not as professional activists, not as professional politicians, that we are in great peril. and nobody better to explain that than the people who have devoted their lives to protecting ours, which is what these scientists have done. i mean, their advances are keeping us healthy. their advances are keeping us safe. their advances are moving humanity forward in ways that i think very few other professions are. and so for them to come out and say, this is exactly what the democratic party needs to activate its act, you know, to activate the messaging that we need to get out there to the american people. >> so there's a little devil's advocate here, right? there was

no shortage of grassroots activism in the run up to the november election, and it seemed to be focused in the right way. right. like get out the vote, talk to your neighbors. so is it clear what didn't resonate from that? how do you work to take this and get it to resonate in a way that, frankly, moves you toward the midterms if you're a democrat? >> that's a great question. the problem for the democratic party is, i think, at the very top, the people who get the megaphone much more so than people like this. there is an absence of an ability to communicate like normal americans. they focus group everything. they wait until those focus groups come back. they determine, sit around and determine how to communicate. by the time that's all said and done, donald trump's already done 15 different things. and we've moved on from whatever the thing that was focus group is talking about. this is exactly what people need right now, because this is regular americans speaking in plain english, i would hope. i hope they're not being too scientific because most of us didn't do so well in biology in ninth grade. i speak for myself, but if they're just out there explaining very

clearly in plain english what is at stake right now, not for them and their profession, but for all of us who are counting on experts like them to keep us safe. and the fact that there is a dearth of expertise that is happening all across the federal government right now, that's not some esoteric concept. it's truly something that is going to put all of us in grave danger if it's not addressed. if they're explaining it in those kinds of terms, i think people will listen because these are their neighbors. these are regular people who live across the country who are experts in this field. >> when do you think you'll know as a democrat? when it's resonating? and by that, like ben wikler, the head of the wisconsin democratic party, was talking about early next month, there's going to be a state supreme court election. will there be turnout? there normally isn't. in an off election like that, will it be democrats returning to donating to causes? we've heard from lots of democrats. the money isn't coming in. how do you see if something like this actually is connecting? >> well, there's a special election, two special elections

in florida that are taking place as well next month that i think are very important. they're in very red districts, but one of them is matt gaetz's former district. but nevertheless, we'll see what kind of turnout we get. we'll see what kind of energy we get. my god, if we pick off one of those two seats, that will be a huge. bellwether that not expecting it. but it's possible. anything's possible. in fact, in cases like this, you kind of see these harbingers coming for the next midterm when you have turnout that we expect to see in these kinds of races. there's a special election for liz stefanik's seat that will eventually take place at some point this year. we'll see about that. you know, in terms of donation, i understand why people are reluctant to donate because you're donating to the dnc, you're donating to these congressional committees, you're donating to these senate committees. and the truth of the matter is, it's up to our leaders in those committees to show us that they're using that money wisely. and right now, to be honest, i'm not seeing that. what i am seeing is huge, tremendous anger within the grassroots across the country at what's happening in washington. and that's the kind of anger that you're going to be able to

bottom of my heart for your prayers for my health. the vatican says he had another good night's rest, resumed respiratory and physical therapy as he battles double pneumonia. doctors say they don't expect to issue another update on his health until tomorrow, given that his condition has remained stable. migrant families, including those with minor children, are now being held at detention centers in karnes, texas. two sources now confirmed to nbc news. it comes as the trump administration's ice operations are targeting families who cross the border with children. joining me now with her exclusive reporting, nbc senior homeland security correspondent julia ainsley. this is quite a shift. the biden administration was committed not to detain families with kids. the trump administration promised to target migrants with criminal histories. tell us more about this. >> yeah. >> well, i mean, chris, we have seen a long history. >> through many administrations about what the white house and the. >> department of homeland. >> security will try to do to

deter families from coming. >> to the united states. >> ever since we saw that demographic increase in 2014 under then president obama, who started family detention, the very centers that you're looking at there. of course, we know that trump in 2018 tried to deter them by separating parents from their children, a policy. he later ended. and then now we are looking at bringing back these places. the biden administration closed family detention. trump is reopening them. and we know that as of last night, there were 2 to 3 families staying inside this facility here. karnes in texas. there's also another one being operated in dilley, texas that will soon be opening. but the difference here now, chris, is that because of these large scale operations that we understand are starting soon across the country, we're no longer talking about families crossing the border. we're talking about those who are arrested and uprooted inside the country and taken to these detention places before they are deported. it's a completely different way. they're using family detention. they may still use them for those crossing the

border, but by and large, this is to hold people before deportation. so these are not the people who are coming in in desperate need of medical care. it's the first time many of these people have been able to get a lot of the things that they've needed after a very treacherous journey. instead, you're having people who are on their way out of the united states. >> julia ainsley, thank you. two days before our clocks spring forward. an hour. president trump is calling daylight savings time a, quote, 50 over 50 issue. just three months ago, he was 100% ready to do away with the twice yearly time change, calling it inconvenient and costly. nbc's ryan nobles is reporting from capitol hill. so what else is the president saying? and is this just going to be an ongoing debate to change or not to change? that is the question. >> yeah, i kind of feel like. >> chris, what would we have to talk about this time of year if. we just got rid. >> of daylight. >> saving time? yeah, we got nothing to talk about. right, exactly. >> it's such a topic of

controversy for many people. some people love it. a lot of people hate it. and that's what donald trump was tapping into in december, when he suggested that the republican party was going to push to completely get rid of daylight saving time. but he obviously, now that he has the power to do that, he is running into the reality that there are a number of constituency groups who believe that the practice is actually helpful to them, particularly farmers in the midwest who like that extra hour of daylight while they're tending to their crops. now, this was a bill that. passed the senate in the last congress. there has already been an effort to reintroduce another version of it in this congress, but so far it isn't going anywhere. it never even got a vote in the house after it made its way out of the senate. so while it's one of those things that twice a year everybody talks about and has very strong opinions about and expects something to happen around, for the most part, everything just. >> seems to. >> stay status quo. >> spring forward this weekend. ryan nobles, thank you so much. and that is going to do it for us this hour. make sure to join us for chris jansing reports every weekday, 1 to 3 p.m.
