but we begin today. on this first day of july, the beginning of a major holiday week for many with the severe weather impacting millions storms along the east coast overnight causing chaos. it comes as a major hurricane is now threatening several islands in the caribbean. hurricane beryl, the first category four storm to ever form in june and all that severe weather is affecting travel coast to coast. just as the tsa is forecasting a record number of number of passengers this week, we've got it all covered for you, including dylan's full forecast, but we're going to start with nbc's sam brock. sam is at miami international airport. sam good morning. yeah, craig sheinelle good morning. obviously not great timing here. we have talked about these historic travel numbers. guys. the tsa has recorded three of the top five screening days of all time in the last week. and now over the course of this past weekend, weather has contributed to thousands of delays and cancellations. and guys, at the same time, a category three hurricane, hurricane beryl right now zeroing in on the windward

islands with life threatening winds and storm surge. the july 4th holiday travel season is certainly off to a bang, with the early fireworks coming in the form of a barrage of storms nationwide on sunday, more than 8000 flights across the united states were delayed in more than 2500 canceled. his travelers got a taste of the hectic holiday crunch. our flight to seattle was seven hours delayed. ground stops sunday were issued at all of the new york area's biggest airports. jfk laguardia and newark. as drivers in connecticut contended with flooded streets and tangled power lines out west, evacuations from flash flooding in ruidoso, new mexico, the same area that experienced dangerous wildfires just weeks ago. severe conditions across the country as celebrations for july 4th are already in the works. the tsa's top ten busiest travel days are filled with dates from the last

couple of weeks, and the agency projects more than 28 million will fly over an 11 day period surrounding the holiday. a nearly 5.5% increase from the year before. the record travel, coinciding with the major hurricane beryl, which rapidly intensified over the weekend. and now is about to flex 130 mile an hour sustained winds on the windward islands. this is a major hurricane. it's not a joke . and the government guys of barbados also sounding the alarm bells opening up emergency shelters last night and forcing all businesses to close by 7 p.m. as far as those flying domestically right now, the tsa projecting sunday, july seventh as another record breaker. the busiest day at least projected to be of this entire stretch. janelle back to you. get ready. all right, sam, thank you. and with that, we've got dylan keeping a very close eye on the weather this busy holiday week. she's in for al. severe weather over the weekend. more severe weather today. yes. severe

storms, hurricanes, flooding, extreme heat. we've got it all in the forecast this week. so let's start with the severe storms in an area that has been hard hit by heavy rain lately. so with more rain in the forecast and also winds up to 75mph or higher, this could be an area where we do see some impact today from those storms. now tomorrow we're going to see that just shift a little farther to the east, including areas like northern missouri, southern iowa again, hard hit areas where the ground is totally saturated so any additional rainfall could lead to more flooding. and then as we look at the actual amount of rain, some areas, especially near la crosse, wisconsin, we could end up with more than three inches of rain. so it's been a hard hit area and more rain is in the forecast. now to the heat. we have 53 million people under some sort of heat advisory heat watches actually out near medford, oregon. we have heat watches in effect until july 9th. so we are going to see extreme heat for quite some time. but again, category three now hurricane beryl is approaching the windward

islands. and we'll give you more details on that in just a few minutes. greg, all right, dylan, we'll come back to you in just a few minutes. thank you. all right. to politics now. and president biden vowing to fight on after what many are calling a shaky performance at the first presidential debate this weekend, the president huddled with his family and top allies who are rallying behind him as some democrats him to step aside. this, as the supreme court is expected to weigh in today on whether former president trump is immune from prosecution and the election interference case. we've got it all covered for you, starting with senior washington correspondent hallie jackson. hallie. good morning. hey, sheinelle, good morning to you and new this morning. we are now hearing directly from the first lady herself telling vogue magazine that the bidens will not let those 90 minutes define the four years he's been president, adding, we will continue to fight. it's coming as the president's team scrambles to do some damage control after his widely panned debate, performance spiked anxiety among democrats. president biden digging in and

driving on after huddling with family members who encouraged him to stay in the race, according to multiple sources familiar with the conversations. during a pre-planned weekend at camp david, nbc news has learned his campaign manager sought to reassure key donors sunday, emphasizing the president will not step aside and explaining the logistical difficulties in replacing him on the ticket. per two participants on the call. all after a damaging debate performance thursday night. deeply rattled members of his own party. some democrats acknowledging the ongoing discussion. there are very honest and serious and rigorous conversations taking place at every level of our party. we're having a serious conversation about what to do. the editorial boards of both the new york times and the atlanta journal constitution are urging the president to step aside, even as his allies publicly rally around him. like former presidents, obama and clinton. do you think president biden should drop out of this race, senator? oh absolutely not. i think it was a weak debate performance by

president biden. but i think side by side, donald trump had a horrifying debate performance where, yes, he spoke plainly, but what he said was lie after lie after lie. his campaign points to more than $30 million raised since thursday as a sign of grassroots support. but a new poll conducted in the days after the debate shows 72% of voters think president biden does not have the cognitive health to serve as president, up 7% since early june. the poll, which has a margin of error of 4.2 points, shows voters essentially split on whether former president trump had the cognitive health to serve. now, president biden's supporters have made the case. former president trump's dangerous for the country, and the philadelphia inquirer's new op ed argues it's mr. trump who should withdraw because of his repeated lies. as for the president's team, we're told by two sources his campaign chair is expected to hold a call with a larger group of donors later on tonight. chanel. all right, hallie, thank you. now to the supreme court, which is expected to hand down a major decision

today regarding former president donald trump's claim of immunity from prosecution in his federal election interference case. and that that could determine if the case goes to trial before the november election. laura jarrett is nbc's senior legal correspondent. she has been following this one very closely for months now, and it would seem highly likely that the high court finally hands down this decision today. so refresh our memories, walk us through the former president's best arguments and the government's best arguments. his best argument is that the presidency itself, not him, not his case, but the office of the presidency itself, has to have some immunity or it just can't function. you can't have the president looking over your shoulder thinking he's going to get prosecuted for things that he's doing as president. and on the surface of it, that makes a lot of sense. but the federal government's position, jack smith, the special counsel, is saying that may all be well and good, but what he's been accused of here has nothing to do with the office of the presidency. it

has to do with him trying to win an election in the government's position by fraud, by lies. and so, because everything he was doing was about trying to win the election, wasn't about the presidency. therefore, he shouldn't be immune at all. but it doesn't have to be all or nothing. and i think that's where sort of the rubber meets the road in this case is how does the court decide what's immune, what's not immune, what what acts are immune? what acts are not immune? how could they thread that needle? i mean, what are you looking for when this when this decision comes down in a few hours? yeah so the thing, the two things we're looking for is what is the scope of the conduct that is immunized and what's not. where does the where does the court draw those lines and timing. of course that's going to be huge. the fact that i am here with you on july 1st, talking about this case, when the special counsel wanted this case, said and done back in march, that's a win for the former president, because we're still doing this. right. and so even if for some reason, jack smith was to get a complete windfall, which i think is highly unlikely, it still seems so, so far fetched that this is going to get completed before

november. and so that's a win for donald trump, who did not want this case to be done before election day. all right. and as you mentioned, we will have a special report coming up on these nbc stations, maybe in about 2.5 hours from now. laura. thank you. all right. there is growing outrage this morning in upstate new york where a 13 year old was shot and killed by police. the teen was shot after a brief chase. police say they thought he had a gun, which turned out to be a replica handgun. now, with an investigation opened by the state attorney general's office, the young man's family is demanding answers. nbc's emilie ikeda is here with more. emily. good morning, chanel. good morning to you. as tensions flare in the wake of the friday night shooting, police released graphic body camera video from three different perspectives, capturing the officer's approach the chase and gunshot. a warning. the video you're about to see is disturbing. careful. no, no. careful. you're on camera. graphic video shot by a witness shows the seconds leading up to a fatal police shooting. the footage capturing

the death of 13 year old najm way. the utica police department says officers stopped me and another person who matched the suspect description of a recent robbery. utica police later releasing multiple police body cam videos of the altercation showing this moment at 10:18 p.m. friday night. i just pat you down and make sure you got no weapons on you, leading to a police chase seconds later. good good good. drop it. drop it! police highlighting these moments in the body cam videos when they say moy pointed what appear to be a handgun at officers, also showing the seconds after police tackled me to the ground before shooting and later performing cpr on way before he was transported to the hospital where he died. the utica police department says he was carrying this replica glock pellet gun. now distraught family and outraged community members are demanding answers. the boy was already on the ground. he was shot. you know why shoot him when he was

already held down on the ground? he a gofundme account posted by a family member calling for justice and healing for nice family says the stories don't add up and we need answers. utica police say the new york attorney general's office is investigating the incident, and the police department is conducting an internal investigation. earlier this year, we had two other deaths because kids carry guns. okay that's something else that needs to be just thought of. and family members say moy was born on the border of myanmar and thailand before coming to the u.s. with his family. he just graduated. they say, from eighth grade. my goodness. all right. thank you emily. thanks, guys. there's new fallout this morning for boeing with word that the justice department will ask the company to plead guilty to a charge stemming from two deadly overseas max eight crashes involving its 737 max aircrafts. and it comes as the company has been facing intense scrutiny after a door plug on a different

max jet blew out mid-air back in january. nbc's senior correspondent tom costello covers aviation and joins us now from dulles international. and tom, lawyers for victor's victims families say they're not happy with what they're hearing. they're not happy. listen, as you know, these max eight crashes were more than five years ago, and the families of the victims have been pushing for boeing to be charged criminally and for executives to be charged criminally. this new deal, as outlined by the justice department over the weekend, would not would not be criminal charges against boeing. it would, though, mean that they would have to plead guilty to a specific charge, and there would be another fine. and then on top of that, more safety demands. but the families say that's not enough. the families want accountability. facing multiple investigations over that mid-air max nine door plug blowout in january this morning, boeing is back in the spotlight with the justice department seeking a new

guilty plea to a charge stemming from two overseas max eight crashes more than five years ago that killed 346 people. lawyers representing relatives of some of those victims say doj lawyers briefed them over the weekend. under the terms they say, boeing could avoid trial if it pleads guilty to conspiracy over its flawed max eight design. the company would face an additional $244 million fine be required to implement new safety improvements and be subject to external monitoring for three years. and the company's board would be required to meet with victims families. it's not clear if boeing, which has no comment, will accept those terms and the doj hasn't commented, but lawyers representing the families blasted what they call an inadequate sweetheart deal that includes no new charges for the company or any executives chanting shame. just a couple of weeks ago, many of the families

sat behind boeing ceo david calhoun on capitol hill as he publicly apologized apologize for the breach that caused several spoke after the hearing. they're not sorry for any of what has occurred, including zipporah currier, whose father joseph died in the ethiopian airlines crash in 2019. there is a lot more that could have been done, should have been done and that can be done. the question is, will it be done? what should happen now? i think people should be charged. i think that when people are not held accountable, you're setting a standard of what you can get away with. so the families lawyers say that even if boeing were to accept this deal, the families would appeal to a texas judge to throw it out. they don't like it at all. we have another bit of boeing news. this morning. it has now agreed to buy spirit aerosystems. that's the troubled maker of the fuselage that's been involved in the 737 max nine door plug blowout. boeing wants to break quality control all under one

2020 election. and we have to tell you this is, yes, a historic, complicated decision. our team of legal experts is going to take an extra moment here to really dive into the high court's decision so that we can clearly explain what it means while they do that here, let us turn to our senior washington correspondent, hallie jackson, there in d.c. to remind us all of what's at stake here. hallie a lot, craig, is the short answer to that question. it is both generational and also very specific. it is generational because it's possible that the supreme court will now set a new standard for presidential immunity moving forward for history, a legacy move here for generations to come. yet, and specifically for former president trump, it also obviously deeply matters to that federal election interference case against him. what the justices will decide, as we are watching our team of legal experts there and correspondents hunched over their laptops,

sifting through this decision here. and let me explain what's at the heart of this case, whether what the former president did, as it related to the election interference scheme that he's alleged of conducting, were those acts unofficial or official? if they were unofficial, then his attorney concedes he could potentially be prosecuted for those if they were official, he would, in theory, be immune to prosecution. that's the case that the former president's team is making. so let me give you an example. when the former president calls a private attorney, rudy giuliani, who then spread election fraud lies, his own attorney conceded that that would be a private, unofficial act. on the other hand, mr. trump calls the head of the republican national committee to talk about that fake elector scheme. his attorney insists that that is official. so that is what our team is parsing here. what specifically has the supreme court decided here on each of those matters? now, the former president himself, in a new interview just released this morning that was taped yesterday, is seeming to downplay the impact of the immunity case against him. but remember why this is so critical. it is all about. and i'm talking politically here. it

is all about the timing for him. his team is seeking to delay this as much as possible past the november election, because that is the political reality here that the former president could, in theory, end up back in the white house come january. in theory, he could potentially pardon himself. that is uncharted territory here. so we don't want to get over our skis on that front. but the timing is what is so critical. the judge in this case has said that she would not, in fact, move forward with the trial until about three months after this case gets back to her. we've been waiting on this decision coming down, not just on the very last day of the supreme court term, but the very last case on the very last day of the supreme court term. we know that politically, when the former president faces these legal issues and they are in the headlines that he gets a boon as it relates to fundraising. after his hush money conviction. remember state case, not this case. very different. he raised something like $141 million in the month of may. we are waiting obviously to see any reaction from his campaign. craig. we'll bring it to you as soon as we get it. but i have to tell you, it is my guess that they are

doing the same thing that we are doing, looking through this decision, determining how it will, in fact specifically impact this case against mr. trump. craig and of course, hallie, as we're having this conversation, there are a number of members in the democratic party just four days after that mediocre debate performance. shall we say, already in a panic, one has to wonder what what this decision could mean for the sitting president. for that angle, let us bring in now our meet the press moderator, kristen welker. also standing by for us there in washington. so kristen, what say you to that? again, i watched your show yesterday. we heard from a number of democrats expressing myriad concerns about the current administration and the campaign. any idea how this decision could impact president biden's campaign come november? well, so far we have not seen these legal cases really impact former president donald trump's standing and again, as hallie says, if the ultimate takeaway

here is that the cases that have been brought by jack smith are delayed until after the november election, the impact could be that there just continues to be this focus on president biden and his devastating debate performance. now, it's worth noting, craig, 62, 62% of americans say that trump should not have immunity for actions that he took while he was in office as president. so that's a little snapshot of how the public sees this case. but again, in terms of the broader polling that we have seen, so far, his legal battles have not dragged down his polling in terms of what is happening inside the president's inner orbit. we know that after that debate performance, this weekend, he was at a previously scheduled trip to camp david. his family was taking photographs with famed photographer annie leibovitz at that. that gathering at camp david. they did discuss the fallout from the debate. what should next steps look like? we are told that the family has

urged him to stay in this race to fight, and publicly, he's been defiant. christian stand by our our crack team of legal experts. they've been sifting through this decision. our senior legal correspondent, laura jarrett, has been digging through it. six three decision. what's the highlight, craig, we have here a landmark decision in american history as it relates to presidential power that will define the limits of that power for generations to come. the divided court now deciding here that the former president does enjoy some immunity. there is a dispute about how much and to what extent. but what we do know is that this case is now going to go back to the lower court for further deliberation, delineation about what is immune, what is official and what is not. the chief justice here accusing his liberal colleagues of striking a chilling tone that's disproportionate to what the court actually does. so you see a dispute here with the liberals saying that he's they've gone much further than the conservatives think, that they actually have gone here. but they are saying that immunity

extends to official discussions between the president and his attorney general, but they're going to put it back in the hands of the lower court. judge chutkan the trial court to determine what extent trump's remaining alleged conduct is entitled to immunity. remember, this is the case where he's been accused of trying to overturn the last election through lies and through fraud. he has resisted that and obviously denied any wrongdoing and has said that everything he did was completely within presidential powers, then, that if you don't offer immunity to presidents, then they'll just essentially be handicapped into not being able to do their job right, that there will just be a series of recommendations with the next administration prosecuting the former one. again, the conservative majority here saying the president does enjoy some immunity, but there is no immunity when it involves unofficial acts. so say the president committed a crime, say he killed his wife, or he robbed a bank while he was in office. that's not immune. but anything having to do with things that he was doing as president, as part of those official duties, the

conservative majority thinks that is immune and therefore it now has to go back to the lower court for more process, which means more delays, which really is going to have a big effect on timing of this case to be able to get completed and finished before the november election. it sounds as if there's to little no chance that this case sees a courtroom before the november election. i need to go through. it's a lengthy opinion. i want to see what they say, if anything, about timing, because as of right now, i don't see them acting, acting with any alacrity. i don't see the urgency here quite yet, but we're going to work our way through and see if they address that in some respect. i'm sure the liberal, the liberal branch of this, i'm sure, has something to say about timing. danny cevallos, i know you've also been sifting through the decision as well. what do you make of what we heard from the high court? at first blush, this is an opinion that you might read and think, oh, there is absolute immunity. so trump is off the hook, but it's much more nuanced than that. in fact, the court takes a position that was actually conceded by the government on absolute immunity. and it essentially holds that

there is a kind of absolute immunity, but only for core presidential functions. and attorney dreeben for the government essentially conceded that at oral argument, he didn't call it immunity. he called it something else, an article two defense. but the justices said, look, whether you call it a defense or immunity, it's something. so the court does hold today that there is absolute immunity, but only for those core presidential functions. think veto power, the pardon power, a very limited set of core presidential powers. then we go into a second area, which is all other official conduct that is not that core presidential conduct. and for that, i think that's probably the biggest surprise here, is that there is what they call a presumptive immunity for all other presidential official conduct that doesn't fall within those official acts or, excuse me, those core official presidential functions. and then of course, you have a position that was actually conceded by trump's counsel, which is for purely private conduct. there is no immunity at all. so this is

definitely one of those cases that once you read the first few lines and you see absolute immunity, you might think that, oh, trump is completely in the clear. but that is not the case with this opinion. and in fact, even the holding as to absolute immunity for core presidential functions was something the government itself appeared to concede at oral argument. catherine christian is an nbc news legal analyst. former assistant da at the manhattan da's office. it would seem that this immunity case really did come down to what the president did in his official capacity after the election and what he did in a private capacity. shall we say, after the election, is that was that essentially the thesis here? yeah. and looking at the glass as being half full, the court does say no immunity for unofficial acts. so is conspiring allegedly conspiring with private actors, private attorneys to come up with a false elector scheme? is that an official act? i doubt it, but there will be. again, we haven't

gone through the whole hearing. but if this this will go back to the district court, and if there's a hearing that will be fleshed out, will there be a trial before election day? i doubt it, 99% chance there will not be a trial. there might be this hearing to determine what were official acts versus what were unofficial acts, which the court clearly says there is no immunity for unofficial acts. and laura, not to disturb you while you continue to go through the nuance here and try to parse it, but but but but to that point, this well, the nuance. let's talk about the nuance here, because you've been predicting from the beginning that this would be a nuanced decision because they're worried about not just trump's case, not just the former president's case, but all cases of presidents going forward in the future. right. and so they kept bringing up the situation of the former president obama and him ordering drone strikes on american citizens abroad. and the conservatives kept pressing, are you saying you know what that would mean, that you could prosecute obama for having done something like that, ordering a drone strike so clearly part of

his duties as commander and chief. right. and i think that that's sort of like the thing that they were wrestling with is how do they make a rule that wouldn't just apply to the trump case, but would apply to all cases going forward? and they seem to have think that they have crafted that order. but of course, as it relates just functionally as it relates to mr. trump, this is an enormous win for him because they've at least drawn some battle lines and said, at least on some things. again his interactions with his attorney general, that kind of thing is immune, the district court, this gets kicked back down. yeah. that court will now use the guidance from the supreme court to, to sort of guide its decision making. and the ball is going to be in her court in a way that she hasn't seen this case for the better part of seven months. remember, everything has been on ice while the court was taking this up and the special counsel, jack smith, had asked for the supreme court to weigh in on this so much earlier so that there would be a chance to get all of this done. he wanted this case done back in march, but of course, once the

court took it up, none of the lower courts had jurisdiction. and so it's going to take a while, obviously, for it now to go back down to chutkan, she's going to have to bring everybody in. they're going to get a chance to make their arguments. and then even at that point say, you know, she comes up with a rule on what remains of this indictment, right? and even if it's a little bit if the former president doesn't like that ruling, he might then try to appeal that. i'm not saying he would win that. i'm not even saying the court would take it up. but he might still try to again keep the delays going, delay being the strategy here. all right. stand by. i know you guys are still reading and sifting through our senior washington correspondent hallie jackson joins me now. once again. so, hallie, i mean, here's the thing. president biden had made central has made central to his campaign the january 6th insurrection. this idea that that reelecting donald trump would pose perhaps an existential threat to democracy itself. what does this decision, if anything, do to that argument? it's a great question, craig, and i'm going to get to

it. but i want to get you a little bit of developing news coming into us. and literally the last seconds as you were tossing to me here we are hearing now for the first time from the former president himself on his truth social platform. i'm going to read you his full post. it is short. it appears to be a reaction, obviously, to this decision that is out today. he says. big win for our constitution and democracy. proud to be an american. that's it. those two sentences, obviously, this question of whether it is in fact a big win for him is one that we are continuing to sift through. it is clearly at least a partial victory simply based on, as it sounds like the timing of this issue here. and what's interesting here is what the former president is talking about. gets it. what we're seeing in this decision itself, the back and forth from some of the justices for example, the liberals who dissented here, one of them, justice sotomayor, says that this decision makes a mockery of the principle foundational to our constitution and our system of government, that no man is above the law. and you are seeing in some of the liberal dissent this suggestion that the majority gave donald trump everything he

wanted here. now, obviously, the chief justice is pushing back on that, saying that that is not the case, that the assertion that the former president's team made went far beyond what the court ended up giving him. but the bottom line is this the former president is interpreting this as a victory. as for your question on how this impacts the race and the central argument that the president has been making president biden against former president trump, you're exactly correct that this is part and parcel of the character case of the fitness case, that the biden team has been making here. you have heard some real criticism from top democrats about the fact that they believe the supreme court took this case up, took as long as it did to get through it, you know, waited until the very last day to come out and put this decision forward when there has been a sense of urgency, they believe on this, and you have seen this consistently ever since. what was it, march, when this first came up here, this frustration with the way that the court has decided here, you're seeing it in some of the liberal dissent. you're seeing it from those previous conversations and those previous statements from democrats fits into where the biden camp has been on this all

along. they have remember, january 6th. they have tried to press this case. the topic of january 6th was one of just a few ads that the biden camp put forward during that obviously highly watched debate on thursday night, trying to make the case that because of what donald trump did in and around the 2020 election, in and around the insurrection on the capitol, makes him disqualified to serve in office. the former president has downplayed this. in that same debate, he essentially talked about the world being respected on january 6th. he has defended some of the people who were arrested for going into the capitol that day. craig, i can tell you this, this decision means that that argument, this discussion of january 6th, it goes nowhere in this political campaign moving forward, keeping in mind, of course, that voters have consistently said it is not necessarily what happened around the election fraud lies that is motivating their vote. it is much more those kitchen table issues like the economy, inflation and immigration crack back here in the studio again, we should note the speed with which our legal team is processing and distilling this information quite remarkable

from from a non-legal guy. how much have we been able to glean from the decision so far where this this immunity, where it ends, the scope and limit of the immunity? have we been able to glean anything about that? yes. we can take away broad principles. and you really could divide these into three major categories. and of course, my colleagues will tell me if i'm missing the point on this one. but really, you can say there is core presidential conduct for which there is absolute immunity. and then you have a circle which includes everything else that isn't that core presidential conduct for which there is what's called presumptive immunity. let's go back to that core presidential immunity, because there's a lot of really interesting factual determinations in this opinion, even though so much is going back down to the court on remand for determination. here's an example. you may recall that in the indictment, there is an allegation that trump met with members of the doj in order to allegedly get them to turn or investigate the election to benefit trump, and he may have

allegedly threatened to replace the attorney general with somebody else who would do his bidding. now that is a great example, because the court says, look, you cannot look to his motive as long as he is communicating with members of the doj. that is the president's core executive function, and he is immune for that conduct. and folks who may remember those allegations in the indictment, i mean, the circumstances at least reportedly and as alleged, didn't seem to be investigating an election for the benefit of the election. they appeared to be for the benefit of trump. and yet the court says that's the kind of thing that because it falls within the executive's core power, there is absolute immunity. then they go through other factual determinations and of course, you asked about the last area and that would be purely private, not official conduct. and there is no immunity whatsoever for that. but in sending this case back down, they are sending it back down with some instructions and taking away some of the work of the lower court. and one great

example of that is right here in the syllabus that the doj communications that meeting. that's the kind of thing that is core presidential conduct and therefore absolute, absolutely immune, even though the circumstances really didn't sound so good for the then president trump. all right, danny, stand by. i want to bring in nbc news legal analyst melissa murray. melissa previously served as a law clerk to sonia sotomayor. and do stand by for me a second, melissa, because your former boss, writing and warning in her dissent in part when the president uses his official powers in any way under the majority's reasoning, he now will be insulated from criminal prosecution orders. the navy seal team six to assassinate a political rival. immune organizes a military coup to hold on to power. immune takes a bribe in exchange for a pardon. immune, immune, immune immune. again, those words written by

justice sonia sotomayor. what do you make so far of what you've been able to glean from the decision? melissa? so i've done a quick pass through the decision. craig i don't know that this is entirely neutral. i think everyone is correct that the court has decided here that official actions may be entitled to a presumption of immunity, and unofficial actions are not. but this court actually goes a long way to delineate how certain aspects of the indictment against donald trump indicate official conduct for which he would be presumptively immune. so, for example, one of the things that the opinion specifically discusses are those conversations that donald trump allegedly had with mike pence to persuade him to hold up the electoral college. the court here says that any time the president and vice president discussed their official responsibilities, they are engaging in official conduct and therefore those conversations which apparently, according to jack smith, did not have anything to do with official duties. they are nonetheless part of the president's official duties because they occur with

someone who is part of hillsville you as president, and it is up to the government to rebut that presumption of immunity. so while this is going to go back to judge chutkan, and i think it is exactly right that this will certainly delay the start of this trial and we likely will not get a trial here. i think it is much more dramatic a sea change than some are allowing. this is essentially saying that any time the president does something in the scope of the office, maybe even in jest, we assume that it is presumptively official. and justice sotomayor is right. that is a huge sea change from what we have had in the past, and i think it is entirely inconsistent with the constitutional principle that the president is not a king. stand by for me, melissa, as well, for folks who are watching right now, the right side of your screen, that was the scene that is playing out outside the courthouse there in washington, d.c. right now. as you can see, a handful of protesters have gathered to protest the six

three decision from the supreme court that former president trump is, in fact immune for some official acts as president, not immune for unofficial acts. let's bring in jennifer. mascot jennifer is an associate law professor at catholic university . she also previously served as law clerk for justice clarence thomas and before that she was a law clerk for brett kavanaugh. before he sat on the high court. jennifer, thank you so much for your time as well. what do you make of the decision so far as you've come to understand it? again, as we are in the process of trying to parse through the various nuances. well, thanks so much, craig. i think the court's decision today reflects the extraordinary and unprecedented nature of this prosecution. here we have a presidential administration that's overseeing and supervising the criminal prosecution of the president's current political rival. and i think the justices in writing the decision today and in how they defined official act, are

showing that they are acutely aware that this decision is going to have impact on the scope and role of the presidency, perhaps for decades to come. and so how will this play out in the lower court? well, as danny and melissa and others have been saying, acts that are within the president's core functions and that can include getting advice from his advisers, but also things like the pardon power appointing or nominating officials. but a relatively narrow subset of duties, those he's going to have absolute immunity. so those are off the table for criminal prosecution. but there's this much bigger well of activity, official acts, which i see the court as defining as anything. that, that, that the president might be doing while he's in office where it could unless it's clear manifestly and palpably clear that it's a private act. there's a presumptive immunity. and what that does is it shifts the burden of proof, actually, to the government on remand in the district court to have to show that by bringing that prosecution for that official act, there won't be any burden at all on the role of the presidency. and so i think, as folks are pointing out, it will make the indictment of the

prosecution below much more fact intensive. but the court has, i think, a measured decision here today, but also one that reflects the historic nature of the issues that were before it. all right, stand by for me again, as we continue to look at the legal ramifications, potentially precedent that's being set here, potentially let us turn to the political side of this as well. once again, meet the press moderator kristen welker joins me now. kristen, i would imagine that responses are starting to come in from both sides of the aisle. lawmakers are weighing in what, if anything, are you hearing about what this decision could mean? here we are. if my math is right, roughly 17 or 18 weeks out from a presidential election. well again, craig, as everyone has said, this will almost undoubtedly mean a delay in these cases that former president trump was facing. we are getting our first reaction from the biden campaign, craig, and it gives you a sense of

their thinking and their strategy moving forward. let me read you a part of what they say. quote today's ruling doesn't change the facts. so let's be very clear about what happened on january 6th. donald trump snapped after he lost the 2020 election and encouraged a mob to overthrow the results of a free and fair election. trump is already running for president as a convicted felon for the very same reason he sat idly by while the mob violently attacked the capitol. he thinks he is above the law and is willing to do anything to gain and hold on to power for himself. that is significant. why? because, of course, that's been the crux of president biden's argument for why he deserves another four years in office. he has tried to cast trump as a threat to the nation's democracy, as someone who potentially runs the risk of carrying out yet another january 6th. and so it is clear that democrats are doubling down on that argument. and digging into that argument. but therein lies the crux of the crisis within the democratic party that in the wake of that devastating debate,

performance by president biden, questions swirling, outright panic within the democratic party about whether president biden is the best messenger, the best person to take on this fight. i can tell you privately, democrats are expressing concerns. one person saying to me he cannot win, another saying this race is effectively over. so of course, the question has become, could he would he step down that process? incredibly difficult, incredibly challenging. and again, right now we have seen a defiant president biden. kelly o'donnell reporting that sources inside the campaign are considering potentially more interviews, more public visibility. but that is really the crux of this crisis, craig. all right, christian, we'll come back to you in just a just a moment here again, we just heard from the dissent. chief justice john roberts, also writing again here in part, at least with respect to the president's exercise of his core constitutional powers, this immunity must be absolute.

the chief justice goes on to say, quote, the president enjoys no immunity for his unofficial acts and not everything the president does is official. what what can we glean from that? that seems to be, again, obviously, i'm the only person at the table without a legal degree, but that would seem to be a bit ambiguous. it is in part because some of the things that he is alleged to have done sort of have a mix of a little bit of official and a little bit not official. right. and so clearly, if he's putting pressure on his attorney general, his attorney general really is there by virtue of the fact that he put him there right . so this is somebody who works at the pleasure of the president effectively, or if he's putting pressure on his vice president and putting pressure on him to disrupt the vote count in congress, his vice president there is to, you know, sort of a constitutional role, but also really as a part of the executive branch. and so the idea being he can really do what he wants with his attorney

general or his vice president. but when it comes to for instance, putting pressure on a state official, right, calling the former secretary of state, brad raffensperger, and saying, i want you to find me 11,000 votes. that's where i think it gets tricky. and that's where i think she's going to have some work to do on remand. catherine, we were talking before we came on the air again. six three decision here once again falling down ideological lines based on what we heard during oral arguments about two months ago. now, based on what we heard during those arguments, are you at all surprised that the decision itself was six three? i'm a little surprised, actually, before i said, i hope that it was nine zero. and then everyone will have their own little concurrence. so i'm just a little surprised that the i mean, it's defensible. i mean, absolute immunity for official acts presumptive immunity for, you know, the quasi and then none for the for the unofficial. but it's not a shocking decision because of the way the oral argument went. and judge chutkan, who moves very fast,

unlike another judge. will i think, try her best. there won't be a trial. i'll just state that emphatically before the election. yeah, yeah, but there may be a hearing before the election. and then that's important because there will be people who will testify about the pressure that was put on them, allegedly, you know, the vice president of the united states may testify because even though the decision said that the pressure on him deserves some presumptive immunity, it still is a question whether or not that is protected. and then that's a factual issue that the judge chutkan will have to determine all right. legal ramifications notwithstanding, for a moment, let's talk a little bit more about the potential political ramifications of this decision. and for that, we bring in hogan gidley, former white house deputy press secretary from the trump administration. we also have symone sanders townsend, former senior adviser and chief spokesperson for vice president harris as well. i'll start with

you, symone, because again, here we are just four days after that. beyond dismal performance there from the sitting president during that debate. and now, what would seem to be potentially at least more bad news for this administration? no. yeah. craig you know, i was in montgomery county, pennsylvania, just yesterday, along with melissa murray, who you just had on and we were speaking to black women in the suburbs of montgomery county. and one of the things, unprompted, that they brought up was the supreme court and juxtaposed that conversation with what we're seeing from this decision today. this, and i'm seeing the statements from the biden campaign officials. i am actually i really want to wait and see what the statement from the president officially comes from. the president's statement, as well as the vice president's statement around this particular question. you know, like hogan, i worked at the at the white house. i was a deputy assistant to the president, senior advisor to and spokesperson for the vice president and the staff. we are

and also the families of the president and the vice president. they all get we all get briefings about ethics and what is legal and what is not legal, and about our positions and how we should not be using our positions in, in a, in a in a way that, frankly, is not in line with what we are there to do to serve the american people. and in reading this decision and just scanning it, it it sounds as though, i mean, just the example that is given in the decision about having a meeting with the department of justice, regardless of what that meeting was about, that is an official act that is covered. that to me flies in the face of the guidance that the staff that work and support the president and the vice president, regardless of whom they are, get. and so i am i think i'm dismayed and really reading through and looking through the tea leaves, from the perspective of someone who used to work in the white house. but politically, i think this just voters, those voters in montgomery county, in pennsylvania, they were very well aware of what they felt the

supreme court had been doing, how they felt it was overreach and how that was motivating for them. this november, hogan, we heard from your former boss, a few moments ago. he put out a statement on on truth social, starting what i would assume to be quite the victory lap. but here's the thing, hogan, as you know, in the past, when legal decisions have come down that have not necessarily been favorable for the former president, he has been able to raise a lot of money off those decisions. it would seem as if this decision might make it a little more difficult to do that this time around. no, i don't think so, in large part because of what you talked about off the top with symone, which is the debate performance with joe biden last week, which is so abysmal. listen, this court case, like so many others, really does have long lasting ramifications, not just for donald trump, but for presidents in the future. and that was outlined by the justices in this opinion, big win for donald trump, i would argue, but also a big win for the american people as well, in large part because of a section in there which i

noticed where they said basically a common sense solution here. but they said the presumption of immunity applies to all occupants of the oval office. that's important, because if it didn't, then attorneys on the republican side would be billionaires by the end of the year. for suing barack obama for things he did by droning american citizens or spying on trump. they'd go after joe biden after he got out of office for ignoring law at the southern border as well. they go after bill clinton criminally for monica lewinsky, which never happened. this would be a perpetual system of massive judicial malfeasance for decades to come against former presidents for making those decisions. and one of the things i thought, too, that stood out to me, with all due respect, is it fair to compare those those aforementioned scenarios to the former president? essentially asking an elected representative in the state of georgia to go out and find me thousands of votes? is that a fair comparison ? well, let me ask you this. is it a fair comparison to, say, asking someone to look for votes

in georgia, where they had all types of instances of illegalities, irregularities, anomalies? you think that's not the same as barack obama droning and killing an american citizen? i would argue his issue is much worse than was donald trump's. so those are the issues that will be will not now be litigated moving forward, because the court has ruled that presidents of all stripes have that presumption of immunity. but in addition to that, i found it fascinating that the conversations between any president and their advisers and the doj was also not admissible in court, and that you could not question or litigate, rather, the motives of the president. because if you could, then, as i mentioned, every attorney on the republican side would go after every former democrat president and say everything they did by definition was political. and you should be able to sue them and put them in jail. i think this settles the dust a little bit, and we can move forward knowing that the constitution and the american people are way more secure now than they were just yesterday. who can get that? you have been consistent after the appeals court decision

was announced. i do recall you saying that you thought the whole thing was bogus on its face. hogan, thank you again, hogan maintaining there that, this is quote his words, not mine. a big win for the american people is that, objectively speaking, is that a fair assessment? well, that's a political statement. so i'll just say it's a big win for democracy. and this is how it works. you go to the supreme court, you get a decision, and then you have to respect the decision. this this is a win for trump in the sense that we can read this opinion and talk about even the facts that are identified. now, keep going back to that discussions with doj example. but no supreme court opinion can imagine all the possible factual scenarios that could come up. so now trump's defense is going to make that argument. and keep in mind that as to the acts that are not core for which there would be absolute immunity, but the other ones, the other official acts for which there is a presumption of immunity, trump starts out in

the winner seat at the lower court and i say that because the supreme court is going to require the government to prove it, they have what's called the burden. and you're often taught in the law that whoever has the burden is winning 9/10 of the case. the government has the burden to prove that this conduct is not official and therefore not entitled to immunity. so as trump heads back down to the lower courts, his mission will be to describe all of the conduct in the indictment as being somehow official and making that argument is not going to be an uphill climb for them, because, again, the burden is with the government. so you can imagine that after this opinion, the trump team is huddling and saying, how do we frame every single act in the indictment, in any indictment, as possibly tangentially official conduct, because the court has now said you cannot look into the motive behind the decision. you must look at the conduct itself and say, is it official? i think the real question for jack smith is what, if anything, is left of this

indictment that's worth prosecuting his entire project was to get this done before november 5th, because in the event that the former president was to be reelected, jack smith goes away. the whole case goes away. it's all gone. and so the sort of rush here in jack smith's view was knowing that he will be out of a job and this entire case and the classified documents case will be wiped out, he can still be prosecuted in georgia, although that one is indefinitely on hold as well. he's already been convicted here in new york. but the federal cases, if the former president was to be reelected, they all completely are wiped out. and so i think the challenge for smith is to see is there anything left here that's worth streamlining to the extent that he even can? and that's not even clear to me that he can, for all the reasons. kris catherine outlined. but to the extent that there's anything left here, is it worth doing to try to get done before he's out of a job if the former president is reelected? all right. good. i was going to say, and trump's lawyers are going to fight to not have this hearing, because

sharks and survive, sharing what they want all of us to know as we head to the beach this summer, i feel like we're in the aquarium right now as we have this conversation first. this week though, nbc news business correspondent brian chung has a look at something that could help beachgoers stay safe from those sharks. good morning. good morning guys. this is really cool stuff. i got an up close look at state of the art technology that's being tested on new york's long island to divert sharks away from our shores, and we're just months away from a big experiment to prove if this could be the answer to keeping our waters safe from shark attacks. they are the apex predators of the oceans. thousands of sharks now being spotted in american waters each year as they move closer to shore due to warmer waters and increased food supply. doctor craig o'connell has worked with sharks for most of his life. he wants to modernize the way we protect beaches from sharks, keeping swimmers safe and the sharks too. he founded the oc conservation foundation in 2013. what got you interested in wanting to research sharks, it's

always been a passion of mine. i saw a shark entangled in a net and i said, how can we possibly do this to these amazing animals? how can we kill these animals to make the shoreline a little bit more convenient for us to use recreationally? he spent his career working on this, a shark exclusion barrier that repels sharks almost like a force field. it's a big change from current technology nets and lines with hooks and chains used at beaches off australia and south africa. what's the problem with nets? but then a given year, roughly 2500 sharks are killed, removed from the environment. but not only that, whales, dolphins, sea turtles, rays, everything that's capable of being caught on those hooks or entangled in those nets typically perishes. o'connell has been testing his barrier in the bahamas and cape cod with encouraging signs. sharks turning away. the design is a mix of both low and high tech, playing off of sharks, sensitivities to magnets and

electricity. it's a large visual barrier that extends from shoreline to shoreline, from seafloor to sea surface, and inside that barrier are a series of electromagnets and permanent magnets. as a way to selectively repel sharks, so it repels sharks, not kills them. absolutely. it's a noninvasive, eco friendly technology that does not kill sharks. oh my god, look at that. that is freaking cool. o'connell and his research team, along with student shark camp volunteers, tested the barrier last october in cape cod. in this footage, great white sharks turn away. he walked me through the process by setting up a smaller setup here in montauk, new york. right here. this is going to be the base of the structure. this is what's going to be against the sea floor up there is what's going to be up at the sea surface. the pipes are made to compress and stretch, to cover both low tide and high tide. and the pipes are white. a visible warning to the sharks. and if they dare to get even a little

bit closer as it activates, it emits an electric field. so that's our third line of defense. so it's like a shock. it's an actual electric shock. fins will go down their entire body will shudder, they'll turn away, and it's a deterrent. o'connell's team of volunteers and scientists don wetsuits and fins to assemble it in water. the final test for the barrier will be to enclose a full beach. the team travels to cape cod in october. high season for shark migration in the north atlantic. o'connell will enclose a beach for two months to see if it can fend off the big kahuna. great white sharks. if we could demonstrate it works on great whites, it can withstand these big seas. this thing can be deployed pretty much anywhere. and when o'connell tested a partial version of this barrier last october in cape cod, he says, get this. 18 different great white sharks approached it more than 100 times in total, and every single time they diverted away. rather than try to go through the barrier. so

it's very promising so far. and they're going to do that final test in october. they're going to fully close off the beach. they're going to chum the waters when they test it. they throw like sushi grade fish into the water. yeah, i live in long island. the testing ground like somewhere they're going to chum the waters of my beaches. no, we did that even for the test that we. they're like, brian, why don't you jump in? i'm like, we just put some delicious fish in there. i'm going to hang back. carson's going to start swimming with me. yeah. my beach. you're going to throw some magnets in your swimsuit next time you're out there. great. brian, that was fascinating, man. thank you. yeah. and folks coming up in our shark watch series tomorrow here on today, sam brock is going to head back to the beach with two surfers who became survivors when they were attacked by sharks. so we'll have that for you tomorrow. we're going to send it over to dylan right now. she has another check of the forecast. a lot of people probably heading out to beaches these days. oh yeah, it is beach season for sure. and it is heating up out on the west coast where temperatures are going to be up around 100 degrees in some areas, mostly inland, right

along the coast itself will be in the 70s and 80s for today. on the east coast, we're looking for lots of sunshine, low humidity and very pleasant temperatures. also in the 70s and 80s, but right through the middle of the country, across the northern plains. that's where we could see our best chance of severe storms today with damaging winds and some large hail too. and we also have a chance of some pockets of heavier rain with storms down across the southeast. that's a look at the weather across the country. now here's a peek out your window. our temperatures for the inland areas will be warming up into the mid 90s, even hotter tomorrow and reaching the peak of the heat on wednesday. but unfortunately, we're not going to see a significant cool down here. even going into the 4th of july holiday and into the weekend. it's also going to be very warm in the overnight hours, while san francisco is going to see those highs in the mid 80s, both tuesday and wednesday will come down a few degrees from thursday into the weekend. all right. as mr. all right. say best time of the morning. well we got to power through today so let's get right into it michael j fox will

at glastonbury. why? well, it turns out louis doesn't travel light. he brought a full size television to the festival grounds just so he could watch the england slovakia soccer match in the euros and gathered quite a crowd. here's what he told the local bbc outlet. haha. well, we brought a tv in very glasto in some like stones and a little stand, it was a little bit touch and go at times because the signal kept going in and out. but yeah, luckily we got the win. we pulled it off. well it was all worth it. the game turned out to be quite the nail biter. england scored their first goal to tie up the game in the last few minutes, before clinching their spot in the next round in overtime. maybe luis team spirit helped push them over the edge. next up, elton john, along with grammy winners, the legendary voice of elton. he's also famous, of course, for his fashion. thanks to moments like this, i never knew me a better time and i guess i never will. oh lawdy mama was friday nights when suzy wore her dresses tight. well, if you ever

perspective. the way i see the game, like so many greats, when they talk about the game of basketball, they give you their why, they give you their how. and so i want to make sure i'm doing that and i bring a little player perspective from the other side. you seem like when i've seen you do it, you seemed like you really enjoy it, like you're really into it as well. is that is that fair? it is fair. i mean, i love the game, right? and there's so many different parts of the game. it's not just ball going in basket. yeah. it's i think some people think that's all the game is. and so i want to bring the perspective from the coach's perspective, from the referee's perspective, from the fan perspective. like i know the game in so many different ways and i want to be able to talk about it. and sometimes as an athlete, when you get on that side and you start talking about the game, people expect you to criticize the players or be hard on the players. and that's not my brand. and so i look to go in and go in and bring some some real color to the players mindset, to getting ready for the olympics, to being in those atmospheres and how you perform. i mean, you were on that redeemed team back in 2008. it

was you and kobe. lebron, i like that you put my name first. yeah, i'll take that. but let's go kobe lebron me yeah right right. but i mean what was what was that like for you to be an olympian. yeah i mean i watched the 92 dream team. i had the trading cards when i was a kid. i used to trade them with my friends. and to be able to put that jersey on and represent our country with thevel of talent. you know, we had coach k on the sideline and the list goes on and on with the talent that was on that roster. to be able to have a big role, help us get back to what we call glory, you know, in 2004, we were we won bronze, 2006, we won bronze. so in 2008 to come back and win gold and put us back in our rightful spot and play a big role on that team. it was special for me. in addition to this new broadcasting career, you and your daughter have launched an online community. it's called translatable. what is translatable? what's the goal here? yes. so zaya and i, you know, set down this was actually in the pandemic. and we talk about impact. you know, my daughter has gotten a lot of,

publicity for, you know, being zaya. and we want to make sure that we're making real impact. and we wanted to create a social platform that was for the community also, too, for, you know, people who were in an era right now, craig, where you can't really ask questions. no. right. you can't say things that you don't know, and so we wanted to create a platform that is digestible for people to go and find an information that they need for the lgbtqia community, but also to show the show the brilliance show, the creativity. the comment section can be ugly. and if we just live off that, if our kids just live off that, it's going to be a tough road for them. and so we want to create a space that is beautiful, that is colorful, that that represents the community. there's another picture that that we saw online as well. and i think our control room can bring this up. this is a d-wade picture. you're in some some underwear here, what is happening? what is what is happening? i got my moment, bro. what is what is are you working with versace now? they finally

gave me my moment. they gave me a chance to take my shirt off and be in my underwear on billboards around the world. so we've been working at this for a while, i'm one of the first faces that look like that. that man that's up there, that's on the versace underwear box. and on billboards. and so a lot of 5 a.m. workouts to get to that. congratulations. right there. congratulations. thank you. took you a few years to make it happen before i let you go. i mean, i think it's almost 21 years to the day since you were drafted, and that amazing draft class, from from oh, three last week, of course, we saw bronny james. yes, we saw him get the call. yeah father and son, first time doing the nba when you saw it happen. what do you think? i love it, i love it. it's history lebron has been incredible for this game. being incredible. not even a big enough word. and so for this to happen you know in his 22nd year i remember the day bronny was born. and now to see that he's going to get an opportunity to be in the nba, i think a lot of people don't get

a chance to see the work that athletes put in. they haven't seen bronny james get up every day at five in the morning to go live his dream out. the work that he's put in behind the scenes to get to this point, it's incredible. so i love it. we're all going to follow it. we all rooting for bronny, and everybody just allowed bronny to be him. what about the online chatter, not just online on a lot of tv screens as well. a lot of folks commenting on this idea that there were guys who were more qualified, who did not get drafted, and that perhaps the only reason he got drafted is because he's lebron james's son. well, none of them could beat him in basketball. so you can't you can't listen to that okay. like i said, if you're not there with me every day, if you're not going through the moments where you got to embrace the suck, when you're not going through the moments where you don't want it, you want to quit because it's so hard. yeah, you're not in this with me. you can't. i can't listen to you comment about me, okay? and so hopefully brownley has his headphones on. i know he got his a headphone deal. hopefully he has that on and he's just locked in on a kid

who's always had a dream. and that dream probably was to be his dad and not to be exactly like him on the floor, but to live that dream out that his dad wants one to live, to play the game of basketball at the highest level and so we all root for him. and, you know, we all block out the comments for him. so lebron and bronny in la next season can't wait. i'll be there. we will see you in paris sir. congratulations. see you there. not just on the paris deal, but the but the underwear ad as well. thank you d-wade. thank you. should chanel over to you. you just covered all the topics. i guess that's what we're supposed to do on the today's show. all right, thank you. craig, coming up, we are talking summer travel with trends with marc. they just wanted you to sit in the sand. this feels terrible. i understand that we're the same size. when you sit, we're going to talk about how you can save big. when you book that next vacation. but first, this is today on nbc. jakobi meyers has been protecting the hard working people of california for over 50 years, and we've recovered more than $2 billion in settlements for our clients injuries. if you've been injured in an accident, jacoby and meyers will fight for the justice you deserve. shag carpet has offered

expert mark ellwood here with some ideas. good morning to you. morning. so i think a lot of people feel like if they haven't booked by now, it's too late. no it's not, it's never saying no, never to a list of some places that are usually known for skiing and winter sports, you have bozeman, montana i love bozeman and this is one of the strategies. remember, if you've left things late, think about off season destinations. this is somewhere that everyone's like, what an amazing place to go skiing right? but remember the infrastructure that makes somewhere great to go skiing makes it terrific for hiking in the summer. there's 80 miles of trails in bozeman. there's 300 days of sunshine. the summer weather is incredible. and also the museum of the rockies, which has phenomenal fossils because, of course, that's a big fossil retreating area. and we've got a great little motel there. that was rehabbed with one of my favorite little tricks. we've talked about this many times. old motel, rather rundown, new owners pump a whole load of cool, fun, load of love into it and make it this funky. the rsvp motel that looks awesome. and also you have breckenridge, colorado. beautiful scenery there too. exactly. yeah, this is about remember those ski

lifts? exactly. look at this picture yourself. going up on the ski lift, looking at the wildflowers, the greenery. and then you've got alpine slide. you can go down really, really exciting. and then you can bike, hike there. also there are dog sled summer adventures. good times adventures will take you around with the siberian huskies in the summer i love that. so this next trend, it's pretty hot , multigenerational travel that's going somewhere with your parents, your kids, really. the whole family. look, this is more than a third of american families say they're going to take a trip with grandparents and kids. it's a great way to come together if you live in different parts of the of the country, why not go on vacation this week with my grandmother so my daughter will have her great grandmother there? oh, that's amazing. it's priceless. that's exactly. yeah. so where do you say we should go? so, look, i don't need to tell you what to do in orlando. everyone knows about orlando. i would go to winter park. it's a lovely historic park, but what i would focus on is there's a new property called the villa tell. okay, so what it's trying to tell you is exactly what it is.

it's sort of a villa, sort of a hotel. i love that, though. best of both worlds. you don't have to clean up after yourself because you're on vacation. yes, but you have a kitchen, your own pool, your own space, and it's configured for different size of families. so if there's 15 of you, there's space. you can have your own house. how cool is that? and you know, we also talked about the fact mount rushmore, it's such a gift for a lot of us in our own backyard, and we don't go, you haven't been right. i haven't been, but it's one of those places everyone thinks they should go. and i know when i went, you go. and in the evening there's floodlights, patriotic music. these sculptures emerging from this extraordinary landscape. there is nothing like it. a great teachable moment without feeling like school. and we've got a terrific resort nearby, which is for glamping. okay, that's my language. i was going to say a little bit of glamor, a little bit of camping safari style, about four miles from mount rushmore under canvas. you can have joint tents with the kids, and you've got this real sense of being in nature, which is what you want to be. that's really cute. okay this next one here, talk to me about adventure cruising. so this is my everyone

emerald is a luxury for less. it's basically a great value, smaller ship. and we're seeing really good prices on this. remember, if you book ahead, especially for the winter season, you're going to get even better deals. small ships can get places bigger ships can't work with a travel agent. they'll always get you the best deal on a cruise and see how you can weed whack the prices. because cruising is very competitive right now. luxury for less, luxury for that. as always, mark. thank you. flight information coming up ahead on the third hour today. more summer savings. where to find the best deals all month long. and then later on hoda and jenna. you won't want to miss the big reveal when two viewers get gorgeous makeovers, but first, your local news oholone. today. today. today. today. today today. today, today, today is where the games begin. we cannot wait to cheer you on. the
