hi, everyone. thanks so much for joining us. i'm zinhle essamuah. >> and i'm kate snow. "nbc news daily" starts right now. today, tuesday, february

6th, 2024. breaking news. no immunity. federal appeals court rules that former president donald trump can be karim mali prosecuted. why the trump campaign said the legal fight isn't over yet also breaking, mother convicted. a jury finds a parent guilty of involuntary manslaughter in her son's mass school shooting. >> we find the defendant guilty of involuntary manslaughter. >> what the unprecedented decision could mean for other parents. ravaged by rain. california's soaking storms are now triggering dangerous mudslides, homes ripped off their foundations. and vital signs, does your family have a history of heart disease, high cholesterol. how you can get to the bottom of it. no shortage of stories today. we'll get started with some

breaking news, a major legal defeat for former president donald trump. >> a federal appeals panel rejected his claim that he's immune from federal prosecution, about the federal election interference case brought by special counsel jack smith. >> the ruling says in part, quote, for the purpose of this criminal case, former president donald trump has become citizen trump with all the defenses of any other criminal defendant, but any executive immunity that may have protected him as he served as president no longer serves him in this prosecution. trump will appeal the ruling. >> garrett haake is with us, he covers the trump campaign and we have legal analyst danny cevallos. garrett, can you remind us about how we got here and what is the campaign saying, what is the former president saying now about this ruling? >> reporter: kate, this is the big election interference case that jack smith is the special

counsel on. the judge in this case, judge chutkan ruled against donald trump almost immediately the trump legal team decided to appeal this to the d.c. appeals court, that was argued a month ago, this ruling will not unfreeze things, donald trump still has the opportunity to appeal to the supreme court and he's been very sort of outspoken that this case is not only bad for him but bad for the country, he calls this is a nation-destroying ruling, if presidents don't immunity while they're in office to make difficult decisions that this is the kind of thing that could be used as a political weapon in the future. >> garrett, thank you. danny, if the former president does appeal this, if it ends up at the supreme court, what do you foresee happening in. >> first the defendant may ask

for review, in other words, three judges that heard this appeal, he may ask the entire d.c. circuit to hear it as one giant panel, they may not choose to do so, then he can appeal to the supreme court, the supreme court may take it or decide we don't want to grant -- this case stays at the circuit court. if they take it up on appeal, two very well-right hand district court and then circuit court opinions that really, they don't force the supreme court to adopt them they give them a good guide book. >> less likely the former president could argue immunity in other case and what we've gotten today is a further flushing out of immunity. we don't know exactly in what circumstances in every situation that it exists and this answers a very large question which is what is the scope of

presidential immunity for a former president from criminal prosecution, in this case federal criminal prosecution, there's no complete absolutely immunity for a former president. not much more guidance than that. >> thank you both. appreciate it. we'll shift to the breaking news out of michigan. the mother of a school shoot convicted of involuntary manslaught zbler jennifer crumbley was led out of the courtroom in handcuffs. . the first parents in the united states to be tried in connection of their child's mass shooting. >> we find the defendant guilty of involuntary manslaughter and in court four of involuntary manslaughter, we find the defendant guilty of involuntary manslaughter. >> nbc news correspondent adrienne broaddus is outside that courtroom. adrienne, what kind of reaction

are hearing after today's verdict? >> reporter: relief, i just spoke with the father of hana st. juliana and we heard from the father of justin schilling, those parents who lost their children in that shooting say today is a step toward accountability but also looking forward to what is next. hear more right now. >> reporter: >> the cries have been heard and i feel that it's going to echo throughout every household in the country and i feel it's necessary and i'm happy with the verdict. >> reporter: jennifer crumbley found by this jury guilty on all four counts of involuntary manslaughter. one parent telling me it's not a matter of if he is going to happen again but when. and he was referring to mass shootings taking place at

schools. >> let me turn to danny now, this is an unpress debited verdict, you have to wonder, will this inspire other prosecutors in other places to maybe charge parents? >> probably. there's not automatic liability for parents for bad things that their children done. there are parental liability laws, but the movement has been away from this default rule of no liability to holding parents responsible for what their children do, in a sense this is a case of first impression, because you have the independent act of a child getting a firearm and going and committing a heinous act that was totally intentional and you're attempting to hold the parents responsible for their recklessness under some very unique circumstances. i think today's case doesn't stand for proposition that parents are responsible for

everything their kids does, but it moves toward holding them liable in the horrific circumstances. >> briefly, we know that james crumbley is set to have a trial next month. >> it has no real precedent shl value. but a first look at what to do and what not to do in court. he may not take the stand because that's what his wife did in this case and it didn't work for her. >> danny, adrienne, thank you so much. right now, powerful storm system still lingering on the west coast. >> take a look at some of the damage left behind in southern california, all of the recent record-breaking rain triggered dangerous mudslides. >> in northern california, strong winds caused trees to snap and fall on to homes, take a look at that video from napa.

meteorologist bill karins is tracking when rain will be in relief. but sam brock gout a firsthand look. some harrowing stories from people out there. >> reporter: i'm in napa county, there have been three fatalities from this storm so far, all related to trees, this is redwood tree, it just snapped, i'm on franklin street, the street of trees, the other half of this not only went into the vehicle but if you step this way there was a home right over here where her grandmother and her granddaughter, as you can see right here the room she was supposed to be in had a tree fall directly in. just a gaping hole in the house and the grand mother jane talking about how the stars aligned for her family. >> when you make decisions you

don't always know why you're making those decisions even a child knows where she's safe and so closer to me was what she thought and fortunately we were separated by a tree for a short period of time. she still knows that she's safe. >> reporter: inches would have made the difference between life and death, guys. the power situation, something to keep an eye on, 150,000 without power. >> wow, those images are so striking. sam, thank you. bill, it sounds like the worst of this storm is over but there's still some rain and potential flooding here, when will it start drying out in. >> after tonight, tomorrow, the first day for southern california, to catch their breath to go out and assess damage and everywhere in northern half and central portion of the state, those areas are already seeing improvements. look at the radar, bright

the state legislature, the governor a couple of years ago, nevada has typically had caucuses we're going to create a primary for both parties. it's up to each individual party on how they're going to give out their delegates. the nevada republican party says we're still using our own caucus, we'll run it ourselves. if you run in the primary you can't run in the caucuses and if you run in the caucuses you can't run in the primary. nikki haley filed to run in the primary, donald trump did not. he filed to run in the caucuses and not in the primaries. folks in nevada are looking at a republican ballot that looks like this. we only see nikki haley, we see pence and scott, the ballot was printed before they dropped out.

>> okay, so, tonight, not a lot of suspense tonight over the results, but can we learn anything about what voters do tonight? >> actually maybe some suspense, another quirk in nevada and it's this, state law requires none of these candidates, none of the above option be printed on the ballot, so the question is, are the pro-trumpers folks and the voters in nevada, pro-trump republican voters going to use this as a way they're for trump and not for haley. a few elections it's won. nikki haley's biggest threat is the none of above option, how much that gets and how she does compared to that. >> that's interesting. steve, you'll be following all of it tonight and breaking it down for us tomorrow. now to a new study shedding light on how serious the mental health crisis is for some of the youngest americans, but it offers up some solution.

>> reporter: last march, cdc said 22% of high school students seriously considered suicide within the last year. in this study, they worked with commongoods labs to see what teens are saying about what they need and joining us is a partner at commongood lab. thank you for being with us. sobering statistics, you analyzed like 87,000 crisis intervention not calls anymore but texting back and forth, what are young people saying about what they need? >> the rates of suicide and cases of depression has increased dramatically, lot of talk about things like social media and school shooting.

what realized is to see what students need to cope. an opportunities for social connection, opportunity to express themselves through the arts, mental health services, exercise and sports programs, books and audio books and outdoor spaces in nature, these are things that communities can provide and that we find that teenagers are able to really deal with challenges that society is throwing at them. >> sounds like a real desire for connection, how do the mental health challenges of this generation compare to that of previous one and absolutely clear there's a lot more mental health challenges faced by this generation compared to previous generations. what we have seen are the new challenges, social media, the rate of school shootings are much higher than before. simultaneously what this generation is facing is that we have reduced funding on a lot of different resources that communities used to provide. access to libraries, park

funding, these are things that teenagers have historically used. kind of a double whammy taking place for this generation. >> yeah, i read a bit of the study, you're criticizing communities for cutting the very things kids say they need for support as you just said, so, i wonder, given that, what can we do to support young people, what young people to find if we can put those six things back up what they really seek and want, like music, like art, do you have any practical tips to find that in your community. >> first of all, there needs to be a reframing of this conversation. you don't perform arts for the intrinsic value. these are resources that kids -- that protect the mental health of our kids. now there's a reinvestment into these resources, we think that

parents -- this can help at all levels, at the school board level, city council level, funding for extracurricular activities. parents are the con due it for teenagers to connect with the community. take them to the library and provide a way for your kids to connect with the community and i think that's the best that we can do. parents don't have to act alone in this and our communities have provided these resources for a while. we should take advantage of that. >> even taking a walk outside. it's free. >> absolutely. >> it's there. >> so good. thank you so much for your time. >> thank you so much for having me. >> thank you so much. if you're someone with credit card debt, now might be a crucial time to start paying it off. new data out today shows credit card debt jumped to $50 billion in the last three months of

2023, bringing the total that americans collectively owe to over $1 trillion. brian cheung joins us now. why now, why is it so important to start paying off that debt. >> number of things happening that crunch that debt. high interest rates. some credit cards are over 25%. then you also have what you're using that card to charge. of course there's the cash reserves that we had during the pandemic from those stimulus checks. we're a few years removed from that stimulus. with high interest rates, higher balances you want to get ahead of it as fast as you can. >> brian, you explained the why, let's get into the how, what are -- the credit card debt -- >> a few approaches you can do

when approaching the credit card debt. explain your financial situation. one other approach is to pay off the higher interest rate first, likely compound the most, you want to get ahead of curve if you're facing 25 even some cases higher interest rates. lastly, consider consolidating your loans. to take multiple credit cards and roll them into one to manageable place to pay off your debt. so it doesn't snowball. >> brian, first point you mentioned. >> that's the interest rate. you can call your company and say, this is a really tough financial position i'm in right now. i hope i can get out of it later. lower the interest rate that

they charge you. there's a way around it. some other things that you can do when it comes to looking at your credit card loans and you call your company, try to negotiate, right, use any sort of other rates that you're seeing at comparable credit cards. try to use your flee market skills here, hang up and call again. i'll walk if you don't give me a better rate. use leverage in that case. but get on the phone. >> brian, a couple of different approaches to paying off your debt, the avp large approach, snowball approach, what's the difference? >> it's winter so it's keeping in the spirit. avalanche approach, taking the largest interest rate debt first, right, you want to take care of the ones that can really turn into an avalanche because it's compounding, another issue the snowball approach, people have a loft small-dollar interest rate loans n that case

it could be difficult to keep track, hard to keep track of eight interest rate loans that you're trying to pay back, if you try to consolidate. snowball multiple interest rates loans, avalanche the biggest ones first. >> then, some folks think i should consolidate my debt, is that a helpful effective approach? >> it can be. think about the snowball approach, lot of individual loans, trying to smash them altogether into one big snowball, in that case, you can use the balance transfer card allowing you to take interest rate debt on one credit card and put it on another credit card for a 0% interest rate at least initially. also read the fine print and many many cases lower your interest rate and to get a grasp around what could be a large amount of interest rate debt that you have to pay back. >> so many tips there. brian, thank you so much.

really appreciate it. before we go to break, we need to show you this video, of course we were talking about are record-setting rains drenching southern california a dramatic rescue just yesterday, a man had to be air lifted by helicopter after jumping into a rain-swollen river to save his dog. >> the dog was located and picked up. the man was treated at a nearby hospital. the dog was taken to a local shelter with only minor injuries. coming up, we'll talk about knowing your family's health history and how that can be a lifesaver. how do you start collecting this vital information. the steps you can start taking today.

you want to see who we are as americans?

i'm peter dixon and in kenya... we built a hospital that provides maternal care. as a marine... we fought against the taliban and their crimes against women. and in hillary clinton's state department... we took on gender-based violence in the congo. now extremists are banning abortion and contraception right here at home. so, i'm running for congress to help stop them. for your family... and mine. i approved this message because this is who we are. nice to meet ya. my name is david. i've been a pharmacist for 44 years mainly because i just love helping people. as i got older, it was just a natural part of aging, i felt that my memory was beginning to decline and that's when i started looking for something that would help. when i first started taking prevagen, i noticed my memory was so much better. just stuff seemed to come together and fit like a jigsaw puzzle in my mind. prevagen. at stores everywhere without a prescription.

you're in fact soaking wet. in today's daily health we're talking about the importance of collecting your family health history. it can help predict your risk for disease and i's useful for preventative care. >> 93% of young people said they were highly aware of their family health history but only 39% reported actually collecting it. joining us is dr. mcfadden. thank you so much for being here. let's start with basics, why is so important to collect this information about your family history? >> your family history or your genetics sets the framework of your health, nearly 2,000 diseases that can be traced back to genetics, heart disease, cancer, but some you may not think about, risk at alcoholism or mental health issues, this is
