good morning and thanks so much for being here. it is 10:00 eastern. i'm ana cabrera reporting from new york. we begin with breaking news, world central kitchen halting aid operations in gaza after seven aid workers were killed in an israeli air strike. video capturing the aftermath of this attack on that aid convoy and this morning, israeli prime minister netanyahu calling it a tragic case of unintentionally hitting innocent people. the founder of world central kitchen, chef jose andres, calling the victims angels and urging israel to stop what he calls indiscriminate killing. this attack forcing world central kitchen to halt operations. the government of cyprus announcing that a ship carrying 240 tons of undelivered aid to gaza is turning back. nbc news international correspondent raf sanchez joins us from tel aviv and also with us, higar shamali.

lots to talk about here. what are we learning? >> reporter: ana, world central kitchen is saying those seven aid workers were killed in an israeli strike in central gaza last night. and the victims were from all over the world. the uk, australia, poland, gaza, and including at least one american. chef jose andres saying israel's government must do more to bring an end to the killing. this morning, the twisted remains of world central kitchen armored vehicles destroyed by an israeli strike. the u.s. charity says seven of its staff were killed in the attack and now it is halting its aid operations in gaza. the victims include a dual u.s.-canadian citizen and british, australian, polish and palestinian citizenship. >> a lot of people very, very happy to see us. >> reporter: chef andres who founded world central kitchen calling them angels and adding the israeli government needs to

stop this indiscriminate killing, stop using food as a weapon. andres' organization was the first to bring desperately needed food into gaza by sea. he spoke about his mission to get food to northern gaza on "today." >> we need to do everyday shipments to the north. everybody working together, we can be successful. >> god bless you. >> reporter: the israeli military calling the killings a tragic incident and says it launched a thorough review at the highest levels. its spokesman saying he talked to chef andres. >> we are committed to examining our operations thoroughly and transparently. >> reporter: but the charity says its staff were traveling in a three-vehicle convoy, clearly marked with its logo. and that it coordinated its movements with the israeli military ahead of time. the white house urging israel to swiftly investigate what happened. one victim, australian zami frankem, an experienced aid

worker. damian was also killed according to his local mayor. israel facing questions about the accuracy of the strikes in gaza. as elsewhere rising fears of a wider war. this fiery explosion destroying an iranian diplomatic building in syria yesterday. iran says the blast killed seven officers from the revolutionary guard. now it is blaming israel and saying that as an ally, the u.s. must answer for the attack. now, israel is neither confirming nor denying it was responsible for that strike in syria yesterday. but israeli forces are on high alert for potential iranian retaliation. we are also starting to see the real world impacts of world central kitchen being forced to pause its operations in gaza. those several ships heading from cyprus towards gaza, now turning around. they were carrying badly needed food and aid for people in

northern gaza, where the u.n. says the situation is on the brink of famine. our crew has seen families trying to feed their children with grass. ana? >> such a tragic situation, raf sanchez, thank you. i want to note, we're monitoring a meeting happening in france right now between the secretary of state antony blinken, meeting with his counterpart there, the french foreign minister. and we'll monitor remarks made here this morning, bring you the highlights as we get them. but, let me turn to you, higar and let's talk about what is happening inside gaza. describe the dangers aid workers face on the ground there right now. >> well, in any war zone it is extremely dangerous for humanitarian aid workers. the issue is when you have a war zone, especially where one side is democracy, then you give a warning to that country, to the warring side or whichever warring side, you give a

warning, you coordinate your movements with them, that's very standard for all humanitarian aid organizations. that's why you see them operating in war zones all over the world. we have war zones where we lost numerous humanitarian aid workers and journalists and so on. the difference between syria and gaza is that you're dealing -- you should be dealing with at least one side that -- where you do have a relationship, you can say to israel, hey, we are moving in this convoy, this is where we're going to be, please don't target us. in the country like syria, you couldn't do that. you had a dictatorship that was a murderous regime and on the other side a weak opposition and then terrorists. so, it was completely different. this shouldn't have happened. with a democracy, you're going to have an investigation, yes, and hopefully something transparent, but it shouldn't have happened, and it undermines -- it highlights the danger that you have in gaza, but it also undermines israel's

messages, and goals when humanitarian aid workers are caught, when they're struck. >> and it has to be such an indescribable decision that these aid groups face, now halting efforts to address a completely desperate need there because they can't ensure this safety of their workers. >> that's right. so you're going to see this backlash. and i bet it is not just going to be world central kitchen that is going to make those decisions because they can't sacrifice their aid workers this way if they don't have assurances that they're going to be kept safe. world central kitchen, which is, by the way, one of my most favorite nonprofits, they do amazing work, they deliver the last figures i saw were 300,000 meals a day in gaza, which is significant when you're talking about the meals that the u.s. military was air dropping into gaza was something around 39,000, 40,000 meals. so 300,000 meals a day significant particularly in an area that is not only on the brink of famine and is clearly

the individuals are suffering significantly, but you also have the unrwa, the u.n. relief works agency, has lost its funding for the most part, is going to cease almost all of its operations and that only exacerbates things further and points to what the u.s. and many countries are obviously calling for, which is an immediate cease-fire right now. whether it is temporary or permanent, at this point, when you've got this kind of famine, and you've got this level of death, is the fact -- the point is that an immediate cease-fire needs to be brought right now. >> and i just want to underscore that, world central kitchen had been the biggest provider of food aid in the gaza strip after the u.n. and you pointed out that the u.n.'s efforts had been largely scaled back because of funding being cut off. so where does -- where does this leave the people of gaza right now, when this aid is just so, so desperately needed? >> well, it is going to make things even worse in the

immediate term. but my hope is that it increases pressure on the two sides on israel and hamas, both of which -- both to come to an agreement on a cease-fire. the -- hamas has been the one that has been most difficult in the cease-fire negotiations. israel agreed to the last few rounds of proposals and hamas has been rejecting it. hopefully the two sides will reach some kind of agreement to come to some immediate cease-fire. hamas is no longer demanding a permanent cease-fire. so there is a hope there that -- those talks continue even with everything you see happening. the talks led by egypt, qatar and the united states continue. it is very touch and go, depends on the day where sometimes it seems doable, sometimes it doesn't. i expect things in the area in gaza to get even worse, especially in northern gaza. but i do hope that it is just -- it is a wake-up call that they reach this cease-fire because i don't really anticipate new

border crossings to open -- >> hagar, we're learning that the secretary of state is addressing the situation. let's listen. >> first, i can only say that for so many of us we extend our condolences to the loved ones, to the families, friends, the colleagues of those who lost their lives as well as those who were injured. i spoke to jose andres just about a week ago about the efforts that world central kitchen is engaged in, in gaza, as it is in many other conflict zones around the world, including ukraine. they have been doing extraordinary, brave work, day in and day out, and critical work to make sure people in need get what they need, starting with the most basic thing of all, food, to survive. the victims of yesterday's

strike join a record number of humanitarian workers who have been killed in this particular conflict. these people are heroes. they run into the fire, not away from it. they show the best of what humanity has to offer when the going really gets tough. they have to be protected. we shouldn't have a situation where people who are simply trying to help their fellow human beings are themselves at grave risk. we spoke directly to the israeli government about this particular incident. we urged a swift, a thorough, and impartial investigation to understand exactly what happens. and as we have throughout this conflict, we have impressed upon the israelis the absolute imperative of doing more to

protect innocent civilian lives, be they palestinian children, women and men, or aid workers. as well as to get more humanitarian assistance to more tell, more effectively. finally, let me just say that as you heard from stefan, we torched on a number of other issues. i think what we see as an extraordinary convergence between france and the united states, we're cooperating together to try to ensure -- >> we'll continue to monitor the remarks, but did want you to hear what he had to say about the seven world central kitchen workers who were killed delivering aid in gaza, by an israeli strike. he called them heroes. he said they run into the fire, not away from it, and they have to be protected. we'll continue to monitor. hagar, thank you for being here with us. real quickly, if you will, to put a button on this segment,

what does the u.s. do now? do they have increased pressure to change course in any way? >> the u.s. is going to pursue more tough love with israel and say, listen, we're your friend here, we want you to be secure, we want you to have long-term sustainability, we want to be your friend and we're not going to change that. but you need to change your tactics in order for this to work. and if you have a situation where you're -- you have loose ends, you can't cross your ts and dot your is where you have a humanitarian organization that cleared its path with you and they were still struck, we're going to need to -- you're going to make it hard for us in the united states to continue unconditional aid, and to continue backing you this way. so they're going to hear that tough message of tough love, but i think you're going to see it play out in the cease-fire talks mostly. >> hagar, thank you so much for joining us and offering us your insights. turning to major

developments in donald trump's legal cases, he's facing an expanded gag order in the new york hush money case, limiting what he can say and who he can talk about. the judge now says trump can't attack his family, or family members of manhattan district attorney alvin bragg. they're off limits. meanwhile, donald trump found a company to post his $175 million bond in the new york civil fraud case. let's bring in msnbc legal correspondent lisa rubin, and msnbc legal analyst and former assistant manhattan district attorney catherine christian. ladies, so good to have you here. lisa, let's start with the expanded gag orders. what are the limitations exactly and what is the explanation the judge is giving. >> let's start with what the limitations are because they're largely the same limits as before in terms of who he cannot talk about and in what context with two extra provisions. one pertaining to the d.a.'s family and the other pertaining to the court's family. meaning he can't speak about

them if the intent of those statements is to interfere with the administration of justice, or if he knows before he speaks that that's likely going to be the impact that his statements have. the other thing, though, i want to bring to your viewers' attention and to yours is what happens if he violates this gag order? merchan is making that clear as well. he's saying any future violations, not may result or could result, but will result in sanctions under two provisions of new york's judiciary law that pertain to criminal contempt. that means if donald trump willfully disobeys this order, the penalties for him can include up to 30 days in prison in a new york jail. for people who are saying nobody else, no other litigant could get away with this, without being locked up pretrial, juan merchan is not playing and saying that's a possibility, that's on the table. you do this again, that's one of the things i'm considering. >> catherine, trump not happy about this. he's reacting on social media

this morning. and he wrote, in part, that the judge gagged him and, quote, they can talk about me, but i can't talk about them? that sounds fair, doesn't it? he goes on to say, this judge should be recused and the case should be thrown out. what is your response toallowed. he can't continue to attack the judge and d.a. bragg. he can't attack their families, he can't attack their staff. he's allowed to do that. and i think it was very smart of the d.a.'s office to make this motion because i'm not sure that juan merchan on his own, would have amended the gag order. it was important that the d.a.'s office requested it be done. >> let's turn to the civil fraud trial. he posted bond, $175 million. he got a company to pay it. this is the civil fraud trial. we learned knight specialty insurance company wrote this bond for trump. and you pointed out, this company actually has its own reasons to not want trump's

assets seized. >> yeah. they're both business assets and political assets -- political reasons. don hingy, the owner of knight specialty insurance company, that's part of a conglomerate of companies he owns based in california, he is sort of an auto empire king, particularly made his money in subprime loans, but separate and apart from his auto industry empire over here, he's also the largest investor in a company called axo spank. when he had to refinance loans for trump towers commercial portions and the doral golf course in florida, axos bank was where he turned. he got $100 million for trump tower, $125 million for doral, and, ana, that's not including the interest that he'll owe them. so, don hingy has an interest in seeing that donald trump pay up and his assets are protected. >> so, this means trump's assets are safe for now at least. what is next and how long could this all draw out? >> next is the appeal.

the attorney general has to wait to enforce her judgment. the appeal will happen, as long as both sides file what they're supposed to file on time with the appellate division, that's what it is called in new york. the appeal could be done by the end of this year or january. and in a case like this, everything will be expedited. and this will be decided either by 2025 or the end of this year. and if donald trump wins, there will be no enforcement. if he loses, the attorney general will start enforcing the judgment. of course, donald trump will then seek to appeal to the higher court and the highest court in new york is the court of appeals. >> it female sfeels like the les never end, there are so many appeals that can happen. thank you for helping. lisa rubin and catherine christian, nice to see you. up next, abortion now on the ballot in florida. could it help the state swing blue in november? plus, are people who are paying a thousand dollars a month for weight loss drugs that could cost the company just a dollar to make? i'll talk to senator bernie

sanders about his push to cut the cost of these medications now being used by millions of people across the country. and later, perhaps the most exciting five minutes in astronomy, you'll hear from the nasa pilots preparing to chase next week's total solar eclipse.

♪♪ [cat meow] —is she? letting her imagination run wild even though she has allergies. yeah. now to florida, where the state supreme court issued two major rulings on abortion rights. first, allowing a near total abortion ban to go into effect. and then also, letting voters decide this fall whether they want to add abortion rights to the state's constitution. yasmin vossoughian joins us with more. two different rulings here. what does this mean for abortion access in florida? >> 6-1 in favor of maintaining the 15-week abortion ban, which means ron desantis, the governor's six-week abortion ban, which he signed into law, takes effect in 30 days or so.

florida is not going to be a safe haven for the south that it has been historically, especially under the time of roe in other states that were deserts for abortion clinics, where there was only one abortion clinic in those states. but then there was another decision, which is now bringing abortion to the ballot. 4-3 in favor of that. which means in november, floridians will head to the polls to decide whether or not abortion rights should be in the florida state constitution. i want to take a listen to some of the reaction that we got from on the ground in florida and how people are feeling about this. and then we'll talk. >> honestly, i feel like women should not be told what to do, to be honest. so, i think the government needs to stay out of it. >> i believe every woman should have a choice. i also think there is a certain point where it becomes an issue, where it is an issue. but i don't think that the choice should be completely eliminated. >> interestingly, right, the woman in the green identified as

a republican, important to note that there. in seven other states, that are red states, right, every time abortion was on the ballot, they decided in favor of abortion rights. so the idea is that that could possibly happen in the state of florida. even with the help of republican voters. you also saw reporting, you'll be talking about this later on, which is now the president feeling like florida is now in play because florida seems to be more of a red state than a swing state, and that is because they feel as if there is going to be greater democratic voter turnout in november, because they want a vote in favor of abortion rights. whether that's going to happen really is the question. >> the issue could be a big -- yasmin vossoughian, thank you for the reporting. we're heading to the campaign trail next. the critical battleground state in donald trump's sights today as some unhappy voters there begin to accept their options for november. >> sadly, i tend to vote for the

lesser of the two evils. it has been a long time since i voted for someone i really believed in. e i voted for someone i really believed in. nurtec odt may help. it's the only medication that can treat a migraine when it strikes and prevent migraine attacks. treat and prevent, all in one. don't take if allergic to nurtec. allergic reactions can occur, even days after using. most common side effects were nausea, indigestion, and stomach pain. relief is possible. talk to a doctor about nurtec odt. infused with vitamin b3 and hyaluronic acid,

donald trump is back on the campaign trail after spending nearly two weeks tied up with his legal battles. he's holding rallies in two key battleground states, michigan and wisconsin. he's following president biden's lead. he's been crisscrossing the country for campaign events, stopping in eight states since his state of the union last month. nbc's shaquille brewster is standing by in grand rapids, michigan, ahead of that trump rally. and also with us is democratic strategist basil smikle and republican strategist susan del percio, also an msnbc political analyst. shaq, the michigan primary was a couple weeks ago. why is trump focusing on this state today? >> reporter: hi there, ana. i'm told donald trump has been focused very closely on the state of michigan, the state party chair here telling me they

were invited to trump international just about two weeks ago. but, today, the focus will be on immigration. donald trump is scheduled to have a roundtable discussion with elected leader, with party leaders and members of law enforcement before giving a speech focused on immigration. and his campaign is signaling at least that we will hear a lot in that speech of 25-year-old ruby garcia, she's someone who was killed in the grand rapids area, police say by her boyfriend, who was deported back in 2020, but then at-entered the country illegally in the years since. it is something that the republicans have been talking a lot about and former president trump trying to put it at the foot of president biden. that's a message i brought to some voters here in the swing county, a county that biden flipped back in 2020, to see if that line of messaging that we'll hear from former president trump, if that's working with them. listen here.

>> no. you know, as i said, sadly, this world is broken. and that stuff happens no matter if you're a u.s. citizen or you're an immigrant. >> it is -- there is definitely a problem at the border. but there doesn't seem to be a kind of a clear discussion of the issues that could be a good solution to that. >> reporter: that first voter you heard from is someone who voted for former president trump in the past. she wouldn't say whether it was 2016 or 2020. so just a sign that, yes, we're shifting from that primary election with a group of voters that donald trump needs to win over is different. but you're not hearing that messaging change. meanwhile, i should mention that democrats are saying that trump is politicizing this tragedy and saying that it was actually trump who blocked president biden's border bill that was negotiated in the senate, that would have accomplished some of the things that you hear republicans talking about.

and all of that is happening, i should mention, the sister of ruby garcia, signaled on facebook she doesn't like the fact that her sister is being kind of put in between this political debate. a reminder, there are real people connected to the political events and political messaging that we're hearing. >> always important, shaq brewster, thank you for all of that. so, susan, trump has been trying to make immigration the issue for his campaign, this election cycle. we hear from some of the borders, you know, more than a couple thousand miles away from the southern border, is that the smart play, to focus on immigration there? >> well, right now it is the only thing he has in his playbook. that's what he's going with. it does come up as probably the second or third top issue voters are concerned with. the reason it does it has to do with the perceived and i use the word perceived issue with crime. when people see nationally the stories of new york, chicago, what is going on with the migrant crisis in big cities, it does translate. but one other thing, michigan,

why he's there, there is no republican operation in michigan. they are starving for funds and that's why his decision to take over the rnc has hurt ground game. the only thing he could do is visit the state to get people excited. >> the polls are showing he's losing ground in some of the key states like michigan, wisconsin, where he's visiting both today. basil, we pointed out this is the first traditional campaign event that trump had in a couple of weeks while biden has been going across the country, eight states since the state of the union, from new hampshire to nevada. i wonder what you make of that contrast and what do democrats want voters to make of it? >> i think it is really important as i said many times since the state of the union that he needed to use that bump to really go out there and show those signs of strength, show that vitality. it is the -- his age is the one thing you can't change and shift, but you can shift enthusiasm around the campaign. i think from the state of the

union, that wonderful fund-raiser in new york city at radio city music hall last week really has ejected a lot of energy into the campaign and voters want to see that. as susan pointed out, the contrast is donald trump who doesn't really have much of a campaign operation, he's using a lot of the resources of the republican party to support his own legal battles and that leaves very little for the actual campaign infrastructure. what i think joe biden is doing very smartly, energize that infrastructure, that ground game is going to make up whatever difference in enthusiasm that maybe some democrats used to feel. but if they feel it on the ground now, it makes a world of difference. >> meantime, we just reported what happened there in florida with the state supreme court, paving the way for a six-week abortion ban to go into effect while also saying abortion rights initiative can be on the ballot in that state in

november. and so biden has issued a statement and his campaign put out a memo suggesting florida may be up for grabs for democrats. here is what biden said about this recent decision, in part, quote, florida's bans, like those put forward by republican elected officials across the country, are putting the health and lives of millions of women at risk. so, susan, is there a path forward for president biden in florida, you think? >> i think there is a path. i don't think it is there yet. but they need to have the resources. and frankly, i don't think they should make that decision until september. let the people who are pushing to pass that amendment do their work on the ground and get new voters and do everything and then decide if there are resources. i happen to think that since he came within three points in 2020, biden could potentially flip the state. and it is not just on the amendment. it is the visual of a six-week ban now, versus freedom for

women. >> basil, your take on whether florida is up for grabs. >> remember when floor was a swing state, but it has become more red, trump won that state twice. the difference could be this -- could be this referendum. and that actually puts not just florida in play, but we're talking now about georgia and even north carolina. so i think the biden campaign has a lot more states that he could put on that path to a victory. by the way, there is also a senate race in florida, and so all of this actually also helps the down ballot. so, it is a really important development, but it shows how important and powerful reproductive rights has been. >> basil smikle, susan del percio, thank you. up next, ozempic may cost you close to a thousand dollars a month. but one study suggests a month's supply could be made for just a dollar. i'll talk to senator bernie sanders, there he is, next about

weight loss drugs seem to be everywhere these days. you heard the names, ozempic, and wegovy. game changer drugs, promising big results. but carrying a big price tag. now, a new study is suggesting these drugs that cost many americans more than a thousand dollars per month can be manufactured for as little as a dollar. and that's with the company still making a profit. joining us now, the senator calling on drugmakers to change that, vermont senator bernie sanders. senator, great to have you with us. thanks so much for taking the time. i know fair drug pricing is something you are very passionate about. what is your reaction to this study? >> my reaction to the study is that novo nordisk has got to substantially lower the price they're charging americans for two reasons. number one, you have millions of

americans who are dealing with diabetes, dealing with obesity, not being able to afford this medicine that could really help them. and number two, ana, if we don't get a handle on this price, medicare and medicaid are going to be spending enormous sums of money which are going to pull back on the taxpayers of this country. bottom line is, they should not be charging us over a thousand dollars for this product a month when they're charging people in germany $59, charging people in canada $155. the american people, in my view, no matter what your political view may be, are sick and tired of being ripped off by drug companies and paying the highest prices in the world for prescription drugs including ozempic. >> why does novo nordisk, in your opinion, charge so much more for americans to get this drug? >> i know exactly why. so does everybody else.

throughout the entire world there are national health programs which, by the way, in most cases guarantee healthcare to all of their people, and they sit down and they negotiate with the drug companies. and they say, you know what, you can't charge us any price you want, let's sit down and talk about a reasonable price. here in the united states, until last year, you had the insane situation with a drug company charging any price they wanted for any reason. and right now, by the way, many of the new cancer drugs, other important drugs coming on to the market, are costing 200, $300,000 a year for treatment. so, bottom line is what the united states has got to do is what the countries around the world do, start negotiating prices with the industry. second of all, let's not kid ourselves, the pharmaceutical industry is enormously powerful. they have over 1800 well paid

lobbyists in washington, d.c. right now, former leaders of the republican party, the democratic party, that are nonpartisan. they will give money to anybody. they put money into campaign contributions. we're taking on one of the most powerful, greedy forces in washington, and by the way, the -- the drug companies made huge profits, huge profits last year, as they always do. so it is quite a fight. but i think it is important that we engage in this, and that we win it. >> we reached out to novo nordisk, the company behind ozempic and wegovy and they told us in part this, it is easy to oversimplify the science that goes into understanding disease and developing and producing new treatments as well as intricacies. we remain committed to working

with policymakers to advance solutions to ensure access and affordability for all patients. and they go on to say the majority of u.s. patients covered by commercial health plans pay $25 or less a month for their prescriptions. what is your response to that? >> my response is two ways. first of all, they should be proud of their scientists who developed a very important drug. second of all, while people who have good insurance may end up not paying a whole lot for their product, the truth is that insurance costs in the united states are enormously high. and the reason is insurance companies have to pay top dollar for these products. thirdly, there are a lot of people in america who are underinsured or have no insurance at all. and they are forced to pay list prices. so, yes, we do have a very complicated and broken prescription drug pricing system in america. but at the end of the day, there

remains no reason why we are paying over ten times more for this product than people in other countries. and this is something that the committee, the health committee i chair, is going to take a hard look at. >> i hope we can continue the conversation about this topic specifically as you work through the process. let me at this moment change topics completely. i want to ask you about the news out of gaza overnight and world central kitchen suspending its relief efforts there after seven aid workers were killed in israeli strike. you wrote on twitter this morning israel killed month are than 400 aid workers in six months. that's not an accident, you write, no more aid for netanyahu's war machine. forgive me, 200 aid workers killed in the last six months. so what should the u.s. do? >> what is going on in gaza now is one of the worst humanitarian disasters in the modern history of the world. we're talking about the possibility of hundreds of

thousands of children and others starving to death. and it is absolutely true that hamas, a terrorist organization, started this war. but it is also true that right now what israel is doing is fighting not just hamas, but going to war against the entire palestinian people. and this world central kitchen horror is just one part of what the netanyahu war machine is doing. and in my view, the united states should not be giving another nickel to israel to continue this terrible war against the palestinian people. >> if you could sit down, face to face, with netanyahu today, what would you say to him? >> stop murdering innocent people. two-thirds of the people who have been killed, the over 32,000 people killed, ana, are women and children. this is inexcusable. we're talking about 70% of the

housing units in gaza that have been destroyed or damaged, we're talking about 1.8 million people who have been displaced, thrown out of their homes. we're talking about people who, today, don't have food, don't have water, don't have medical supplies, don't have fuel. it is horrible, it is inexcusable. and it has got to end right now. the united states cannot continue to be complicit in the horror that is taking place right now. >> you don't want to see any aid go to israel to help its defense? >> it is not defense. again, israel has the rights to go after hamas, who started this war. israel does not have the right to kill -- to create a situation where they're stopping humanitarian aid from getting in. the result of it is children are starving to death. right now. do we want to be complicit in that? the answer in my view is most americans and what the polling shows us, most americans do not want to be complicit.

>> this is also, of course, been an issue on the campaign trail, president biden seeing a growing uncommitted movement, typically blue voters turning away from him, upset with his policy in gaza with much of what you just laid out, several states are having primaries today. are you worried about november? >> yeah. i am. obviously no matter what it is a difficult election. and i'm going to do everything that i can, despite my disagreement with the president, over what is going on in gaza, to make sure that donald trump is not elected president of the united states. that would be a horrific disaster for our country. but do i think that a lot of young people, people of color, many people, polling is very clear, the democratic base wants to stop funding for netanyahu's war machine. so if your question is it going to hurt the president unless he turns this around, yeah, it will. >> senator bernie sanders, thank you very much for joining us. i appreciate it. >> thank you.

tornadoes, thunderstorms and flash floods in the south. looking at some pictures of a twister, this was yesterday, touching down in oklahoma as gum ball oklahoma has gum ball size hail bounced off the concrete. nbc's morgan chesky is in oklahoma for us. looks like a mess for us. walk us through the damage. >> reporter: ana, they took a direct hit last night, and the

tornadoes are making their way to the northeast. you can see a roof from one of the buildings down behind me. this was a significant storm that caused damage here and it's not over yet. overnight severe storms pounding the central and southern plains, bringing rain, hail and even tornadoes. a reported twister hitting near king fisher, oklahoma. the dramatic funnel seen outlined in the sky. a tornado leaving a trail of wreckage on the ground in the town of barn stole. >> they were going to stay at the house, and i was, like, i can't lose you. you have to go with me. >> reporter: the storm made its way through, and in springfield, missouri, another possible tornado tracked overnight while heavy rains battled the city. in north texas, hail rained down

as big as tennis balls, and it's impacting more than 69 million americans, and stretching from the mississippi and ohio valleys all the way to the east coast. this following massive storms in southern california, where over the weekend some highways were left impassable. in los angeles, the city experienced its wettest back-to-back years since the late 1800s, and now mother nature moving eastward and leaving more destruction in its wake. power lines were knocked down, and we have seen crews here early trying to get power restored as early as possible. in the meantime, ana, this storm system as it continues to tear to the northeast, it's putting counties and vast portions of states under tornado watches as we speak. while it may be all clear here in oklahoma, that is certainly not the case elsewhere. >> morgan chesky, thank you for

iowa with numbers, and here's clark. catch, fire, and hit! >> it was a game that lived up to the hype. college basketball phenom, caitlin clark, leading her iowa hawkeyes to a victory over the lsu tigers. 41 points from clark to earn her way to the final four where she will face-off against the uconn huskies. but you may want to check your wallet if you want to watch it in person. the cheapest ticket for the women's game on friday is 47% higher than the men's games. next week while a lot of the

country will be looking to the sky with the shielded eyes, nasa will be flying high. nasa is planning to have two high-altitude jets racing after the solar eclipse. >> nasa mechanics make their final checks on one of the two planes that will chase the eclipse to study our sun. piloting the wb-57, tom will never forget his first time flying through an eclipse. >> everybody on the ground and they have the paper glasses and stuff, and once it went to totality, and as i look up i can't see anything, and it was in totality and i had to take my visor off and it was fantastic to look at that for a couple minutes. >> the wb-57 has been around since the '50s, but it can fly

above any clouds and the atmosphere so it's not getting away in the experiments. >> it's hard to measure the sun with the infrared -- >> sammy will focus on our sun's atmosphere, the corona. >> back when i did this in 2017, it was a crazy idea and we didn't know if it was going to work or what we would get, and it was nail biting for quite sometime. then we got amazing data, and we are using a new instrument more capable and getting us a richer set of data. >> and then another reason, understanding the origin of solar winds that can impact our power grids here on earth, and

each of the planes will have only six minutes to seize this rare opportunity. >> yeah, that amount of pressure, unfortunately, is for every mission we fly and people put their life's work in these things, and we don't want to mess it up. >> it's the right size to block out the disk of the sun but not too much more. we have a lot of open questions. >> at nasa's johnson space center, national climate reporter, chase cane. >> i feel like i am nerding out right now. that's so cool. see you back here tomorrow, same time, same place. for now i'm ana cabrera, reporting from new york. josé diaz-balart picks up the coverage right now. good morning. it's
