reporter: good evening to you, trace, we are live here from a very snowy and wintery des moines iowa where a lot of events were cancelled earlier today because of this winter storm that s coming through the state right now. tonight s town hall i can tell you after a series of gaffes, necky haley came out very strong and very confident and really hitting back at her opponents. so both front runner former president trump and florida governor ron desantis are out today with new attack ads. desantis is going after her for those comments about new hampshire correcting iowa s results and trump s super pac is running an ad of accusing her of opposing a border wall. here is haley s response to that. i appreciate all the attention president trump is giving me, it is quite sweet and thoughtful of him but he s lying about it. and i ll tell you the reason he s lying about it is because he s taking snip its of things i said. i said you shouldn t just do the
exit door, put a panel on and hadn t sealed it. there s no way you can see that from the outside or the inside and that little flickering light was a tell trace: let me bring in jv, if i can, let me bring in diana real quick if i can because the new york times says boeing max nine plane had been barred from long flights over wa er the alaska that lost a piece of its fuselage on friday was not being used in long flights over water because a pressurization light had gone off during three recent flights. and the question becomes, maybe there is a correlation, many there s not but shouldn t you ground the plane all together diana wile you re waiting to figure out what this maintenance issue is? well, i think that we have to let the national transportation safety board finish its investigation. they are doing a thorough investigation. the federal aviation administration is doing a thorough investigation. we need to wait for their answers. but i think we do need to ask why boeing has h

as well essentially leaving the u.s. defense department without a leader. over the weekend austin acknowledged the lack of public disclosure in a statement saying he could have been a better job in securing the public was properly informed. trace. trace: matt, thank you. window he want to go to portland oregon now. the national trappings safety board holding a presser. we re kind of monitoring this here, they re answering a few questions. we ll have more on the defense secretary in a moment but let is just dip in here talking about the incident aboard the alaska airlines flight that happened on friday night and broke during this newscast watch. deactivated. the cabin pressure was 10.48 psi. at 17:26:46, the aircraft landed on runway 28 left at portland international airport. now, the survival factors team
