that could bring dramatic and sweeping change to college sports. happy friday. it is 10:00 eastern. i'm ana cabrera reporting from new york. let's start with the race for the white house, donald trump taking his maga message to a blue stronghold, a majority minority district right here in new york city and demonizing immigrants as he aims to appeal to black and hispanic voters e. >> they're coming from so many places, we don't have any idea. in many cases we don't even know what their language -- you have languages that people don't even know about. we're not talking about just south american countries, we're talking about countries from africa. i think they're building an army, 29,000 people over the last -- i think they're building -- they want to get us from within. they cannot stay. we will immediately begin the largest criminal deportation operation in our country's

history. >> joining us now nbc news correspondent dasha burns who was there at this event. chief strategist for the bush cheney 2004 presidential campaign, matthew dowd, and former obama campaign adviser amischa craw. you were there last night, you heard it, you talked to the people who were in the crowd, how was his message received? >> i did talk to folk in that crowd who were immigrants, a lot of folks from the dominican republic. a lot of folks i talked to were born and raised in the bronx. for some of them, this was their first ever trump event. when you talk to immigrants going to these trump rallies, they agree with his message on immigration. their point is i did it the right way, i came here legally and especially those living in new york right now, the sentiment i heard from a lot of voters, you know, we have these immigrants right now that the city is taking care of in a way i've never felt taken care of by this city. yes, there were people from

westchester, new jersey, but there were a lot of people there from the bronx, black and latino voters that are sick of how much they're paying for gas and groceries, that are frustrated with the situation at the border and that find president biden's rhetoric when it comes to minority voters a little bit offensive. take a listen. >> legal troubles, does any of that worry you at all? >> no, i think he's going to be elected the president because everyone still wants him as the president so to me it doesn't matter. >> biden, has disrespected the people of the city of new york. this was best city in the world. we're not the great apple anymore. we're not the big apple. we are the rotten apple. >> biden went on and said you ain't black if you don't vote for him. i'm black because that's how i was born and what i am, and trump is the man that can save this country. >> so interesting to talk to those voters, ana, and multiple

people actually mentioned that charlamagne tha god interview. i did press back with some of those folks, mentioning trump's rhetoric that's seen as racist and bigoted. they don't have a problem with that. they view his actions over his words in terms of what they feel he can do for their community. again, the economy, those pocketbook issues over and over again top of the list. >> it's important to hear from those voters. i'm glad you were there to get those reactions. trump has quite a history with minority communities, especially in new york city. i'm thinking central park five, the allegations of discriminatory housing practices. what's your reaction to him demonizing immigrants to try to connect with these black and hispanic voters in new york? >> it's disingenuous at best. donald trump and the republican party created the chaos he is hoping to benefit off of. when the texas governor greg abbott and when florida governor desantis decided they were going to send migrants to cities like my hometown of chicago, to new york and various other places

across the country, they did it with 2024 in mind because they wanted to create this fight for resource allocation. they fundamentally understood that many black people as well as brown people in these communities already were suffering from lack of housing supports, from food insecurity, from other issues, and they sought to create a more desperate situation and to have a population that would demonize new arrivals. i think it is extremely disheartening. i would say when talking to these voters in new york, there should have been more questions regarding or more comments about trump's policies. this isn't a rhetoric issue, trump wanted to have the central park five actually murdered. he wanted to ensure that the state killed those young men. he wanted to ensure that, you know, black people did not have a space in the buildings that he had across the state of new york. in many cases, he's also pushed for anticivil rights legislation. we have already seen what project 2025 looks like, and for black people and brown people across this country, it is an assault on our rights and an assault on our very being.

that's what we should be talking about here. this is not a rhetorical game. this is a man who has plans in place, and a man who appointed judges who will make this happen. >> matthew, dasha mentioned how the economy was top of mind for a lot of these voters she was speaking with, and trump did use an economic message as part of his appeal to this crowd, a very dark message about the impact of inflation. take a listen. >> african americans are getting slaughtered. hispanic americans are getting slaughtered. they're the ones that are affected most by what's happening, not only the fact that you've lost the use of your schools, your parks, and your hospitals, joe biden's inflation -- >> build a wall! >> matthew, is that a message you think could work with these voters who otherwise are a lot less likely to support someone like trump? >> well, it's interesting. i was reflecting on this conversation as we go to the economy, in a time where people

feel the economy's in trouble, unfortunately in our american history, this is unfortunate, two things happen. a strong man emerges or a strong personality emerges that people are willing to vest powers they normally shouldn't, this is happening in the united states and around the world. the other thing is an appeal to a group in america who may have come over here as immigrant, and i'm the grandson of an irish immigrant who then begin to blame others along the way. it doesn't matter who that -- okay, this is the problem, you might have come here, but it's those other people that are problems. and where the economy is troubled even though the facts of the economy when you lay it out with unemployment and the growth of the economy compared to other european economies people because of inflation don't feel. unfortunately, in times of troubled economy, there's an audience in america that can be appealed to by a strong man and

blaming the other. and the other thing i'll note is he never on his sort of english, why people speak all different languages, he never speaks about somebody speaking norwegian or somebody speaking swedish or danish. it's either latin america, mexico or africa, which is a pretty strong signal of what he means. >> dasha, are these voters just not offended at all by those types of comments and some of the actions he took as president? >> yeah, no, i will say i talked to these voters about the central park five. i talked to them about some of the comments that he's made, and the policies beyond rhetoric, right? they are just so focused on what their lives are like right now, what they can feel tangibly that when i push back with those comments, they just -- they shut that down. they said, listen, he might say some things -- again, they focused on the rhetoric still because they feel like that's what the media sort of

consistently puts out there. he might say some stuff that's offensive, but at the end of the day, i feel like my life was better under former president trump than under president biden. i take all of the points i'm hearing here. this is what i hear from voters consistently, and we see this reflected in the data as we're seeing these numbers of black and hispanic voters sort of getting chipped away from the democratic party and moving towards trump. i see this consistently as i talk to these demographics. >> matthew, you brought up strong men, and here's what thump said about authoritarian leaders last night. >> when you see president xi of china, when you see kim jong-un of north korea, when you see putin and you see all of these people, they're at the top of their game, whether you like it or not. >> and now here's the biden campaign's new ad this morning narrated by robert de niro. >> desperately trying to hold onto power, now he's running

again, this time threatening to be a dictator, to terminate the constitution. >> if i don't get elected, it's going to be a blood bath. >> trump wants revenge and he'll stop at nothing to get it. >> matthew, we have reporting the biden campaign's planning to get even more aggressive against trump, person after his trial. is this kind of messaging effective? >> i think it's the only way to lay out this election, which is not a fundamental conservative versus liberal or left versus right. this is fundamentally an election about are you pro-democracy or are you pro-autocracy. i find the juxtaposition of donald trump's comments yesterday and our discussion today so amazing that we're going into memorial weekend where hundreds of thousands of men and women died to preserve democracy in america and fight against dictatorships and autocracy across the country as we celebrate those men and women in this country, and here we have the rise of somebody who has been very clear that he

wants to be an authoritarian in the likes of vladimir putin and others around the world, and that to me, what fundamentally this election needs to be out. i understand people are suffering in the economy and inflation and all that, but the biden campaign, the biden administration and i would argue all of us need to say that we feel for that in the midst of this, but right now our democracy is at stake. >> amischa, our reporting goes on to say that biden's team views the end of trump's trial as a pivotal moment, an inflection point, one at which the minute by mnt side show of courtroom drama has concluded and the time for voters to focus on what's at stake in november has arrived. do you think that's the case, and what does that mean, then, if you are inside the biden campaign now? >> i think that's more of a campaign message than a voter message. voters have been focused on what matters in this election process for quite some time. that's why the economy will always be a ticker point for

them. they are concerned with that. they are concerned with women's reproductive rights, they are concerned with civil rights. watching the attacks on civil rights and the upending of many of the civil rights era policies that actually were pushing towards a more equal society. they're paying more attention to that and have been this entire time. they weren't necessarily focused on this trial to begin with. what i do think is that the biden campaign will go full speed ahead and actually be a lot more aggressive after this trial is over because the trial has, quite frankly, taken a lo of the air out of the room when it comes to media coverage and oxygen. a lot of when he's been trying to mush and his campaign has been trying to push has not seeped through, despite the overwhelming efforts he's done in ratcheting up and creating offices across multiple battleground states, doing the work on the ground, having surrogates there, building up capacity, small business leadership. we've seen these things happen. in large part that's because it has been wall-to-wall coverage of this trial. i think for the campaign it matters to have this time frame

because finally there will be some air and some wind space for the biden campaign's efforts to actually make news. >> what does being more aggressive then look like? >> it means taking it to the streets. it means telling the people exactly what his policies are, how they're going to improve their lives. it means taking that hbcu speech that he gave at the morehouse commencement specifically to black people, to talk to them about hbcu investments, broadband, to talk about the investments in health care, to talk about the things he has done to make their lives better. it is a key constituency. >> thank you all. up next, there's just four days left until closing arguments now in donald trump's hush money trial, how both sides could be using the memorial day weekend to prepare. plus, more fallout from a second controversial flag found at another home of justice

alito. also, new video from the night the world's number one golfer was arrested, the latest on that legal saga. and then buckle up, why this could be the busiest travel weekend for the start of summer in 20 years. t of summer in 20 years. oh, yeah, man. take it from your inner child. what you really need in life is some freakin' torque. what? the dodge hornet r/t... the totally torqued-out crossover.

day weekend, and trump's team heading into those critical summations with a new legal blow, a new york appellate court rejecting a request to move the case out of manhattan and to remove judge juan merchan from this case. let's bring in msnbc legal analyst and former assistant manhattan district attorney catherine christian and former public corruption unit chief for the southern district of new york, ar low devlin brown. good to see you both. catherine, we're at the end of this trial, so this appellate court ruling saying, no, we're not going to move the trial. that claim or that request is rejected. no, judge merchan can stay on this case. a lot of these people kind of forgot these things were still lingering. so the timing is interesting, but at the bottom line here is this just proof that trump and his legal team is running out of options to defend this? >> they have no options. obviously they do if there's a conviction, then obviously they will appeal that.

this was just the appellate division quite frankly tieing up loose ends. we're not moving the case. as you said, it's already over. they made no -- the defense -- the jury was chosen in two days. the people who said they couldn't be fair and impartial were removed, so clearly he can get a fair trial in new york. and in terms of judge merchan recusing himself, they said, no, he didn't have to recuse himself. it's a double loss. >> so here we are now memorial day weekend and i am imagining that both sides are doing a lot of work this weekend to prepare for summations. what does that prep typically look like as well as dealing with the jury instructions which our understanding is the judge was supposed to give both sides heading into the weekend? >> yeah, so i think the prep now that the jury instructions are behind the parties is going to be really for the prosecution. you know, they told a story when they opened about a salacious and really troubling pattern of conduct. what they didn't do is explain really how it's a crime, and so now they have to go through the

evidence at trial keeping in mind the jury instructions that the judge is going to provide and sort of marry all of that up into a presentation, and of course on the other side, the defense is going to be doing two things. they're going to be challenging the prosecution on the facts, and they're also going to be pointing to aspect os. jury instructions and the criminal charge that are difficult for the prosecution perhaps to establish and focusing on that as well. >> we haven't had a chance to see what those jury instructions are going to look like just yet. our understanding is those could become, you know, available to the media and the public, i suppose, after their closing arguments and after the jury gets those jury instructions. catherine, i want to get your thoughts on this jury. we know it's very highly educated group, a couple of lawyers are on the jury. what times of dynamics could factor into how they go about deliberating? >> what the prosecution hopes is different than the defense. you hope that they are team players, that they get along with each other and will listen to each other and then become a

cohesive group and either vote one way if you're the prosecution, you hope they're voting guilty, or if you're the defense you hope they're voting to acquit. but -- so that's what you look for as a prosecutor. you're sort of seeing the dynamics. already apparently they're all poker faced. they appeared not to be like, you know, talking to each other. so it's really a hard sense of it, but you are hoping when you go back to that jury room, there isn't one person that says i'm not going to deliberate. >> former fbi director james comey said this week he's surprised by the strength of the prosecution's case. take a listen. >> i wasn't sure that i would have when i read the indictment, but now having seen the case, i'm not sure after investigating how they wouldn't bring it. they had a much stronger case than i imagined. there's an overwhelming chance of a conviction, a significant but much smaller chance of a hung jury and zero chance of an acquittal. >> arlo, do you agree?

>> zero chance of an acquittal, you really have to put yourself out to make that prediction. i wouldn't go that far. i think it's a very strong case they've put together. i think the prosecution has really given the jury sort of each piece of evidence and it's very much a piece by pooes case that they would need to find mr. trump guilty if that's what they decide to do. the wrinkle has always been some of the key pieces come from the mouth of michael cohen alone. >> so that's, i think, going to be the key issue that the jury's going to grapple with, and it will drive where this verdict goes. i think if they believe michael cohen, then i think you have a very strong chance at a conviction. if they don't, i think it's going to be a problem for the prosecution. >> it's going to be interesting to see. obviously we'll be here to report it all out in realtime. catherine christian, and arlo devlin-brown, thank you both so much for coming in and offering your insight and expertise. next on "ana cabrera reports," more flag fallout for

justice alito as democrats ramp up calls for judicial reforms and republicans rush to his defense. plus, the key meeting in just a few hours where hunter biden's lawyers and prosecutors will iron out the final details ahead of his upcoming trial. fin ahead of his oupcoming trial with a custom private 5g network.

in the next hour, president biden's son hunter is set to show up at a federal court before his trial on felony gun charges. this is one of two highly scrutinized cases against him brought by special counsel david weiss. and today's proceeding will be quite a turn-around for the president's son. last night he was just at the state dinner at the white house. as for the white house approach to these trials, deliberately low key is what we're being told. president biden will monitor the proceedings and his aides may decide whether to react to key moments in realtime according to two people familiar with the plans. nbc's ken dilanian is outside the courthouse in delaware. so ken, what can we expect

today? >> reporter: good morning, ana, this is a typical pretrial hearing in advance of the june 3rd start date for jury selection in this trial where the parties are going to hash out and argue about what evidence can and can't be heard by this jury. there are some disputes about that, motions pending before the judge. for example, the prosecution is trying to introduce evidence from hunter biden's memoir, beautiful things, and it wants to exclude any mention by the defense or argument that this is somehow a vindictive prosecution or was somehow driven by russian disinformation. the defense for its part would like to exclude, for example, any mention of the fact that hunter biden had to leave the navy after he tested positive for cocaine. he wants to include any mention of the other criminal case against hunter biden, that felony tax case in california. so the judge will hear these arguments today and presumably will decide at some point, ana. >> what more do we know about the trial and how it's going to unfold, the potential witness list, for example? >> yeah, there's two interesting

witnesses that were not identified in court papers, but nbc did some sleuthing and figured out who they were, and one is hunter biden's ex-wife kathleen buhle, and another one is hallie biden, beau biden's widow who was involved in a romantic relationship with hunter biden shortly after his brother died. that underscores the painful nature of this for the entire biden family. it's a reminder that we didn't have to be here. we're here because a plea deal fell apart, and that plea deal called for no jail time for hunter biden, and it called for him to plead guilty to misdemeanors. his lawyers decided it didn't have enough guarantees for future charges. the deal fell apart, and now he's facing two felony charges that could land him in federal prison. now to a supreme court controversy that will not blow over. democrats are ramping up pressure on conservative supreme court justice samuel alito after two politically provocative flags both seen at the capitol

on january 6th were flown at two of his properties. in the face of calls for him to recuse himself in cases tied to donald trump and january 6th, a host of republican senators are now down playing this whole ordeal. >> this is an example of the democrats attacking the supreme court. >> i just think democrats are determined to harass members of the supreme court. >> it's not political from my standpoint because if the issue of recusal comes up as i've heard the issue being raised, the supreme court has protocol for that. >> i think it's over played in the press, but i think that, you know, that's what happens when the judiciary and u.s. senate, probably not wise. >> joining us now, slate senior editor dahlia lithwick, and msnbc law and politics analyst and former u.s. attorney and msnbc legal analyst joyce vance.

ladies, senator tillis was willing to concede the flags were unwise but dahlia, even he's still treating it like a manufactured controversy. isn't it in republicans' interest to want to rehabilitate the court's recent ethics problems? >> it's a good question. i don't think it's in their interests at all. i think that this is part of a much larger project of discrediting institutions, discrediting, you know, federal prosecutors and the trump immunity case, discrediting government agencies. i mean, this is all of a piece, and so even though you would think, right, that it would be in republican senators and congress people's interests to prop up the authority of a court that has no army and no budget and no person, no sword, but i think it's part of a larger sort of seeding of the notion that

there really is no law anymore, everything's corrupt, you know, so flying a maga flag or a stop the steal flag, there's no rules anymore, and i think that is very much in keeping with the way donald trump views the world and the way, you know, he's going to create a world if he wins in november. >> if the situation were reversed, if a liberal justice had flown say a blm flag, you can imagine the republican outrage over that. joyce, just a few months ago the court issued its first ever ethics code, only after it emerged that justice alito took a luxury trip with someone who had cases before the court and that justice thomas had a series of, you know, vacations bank rolled by a conservative billionaire. now, part of this new code of ethics or standards reads a justice should disqualify himself or herself in a proceeding in which the justice's impartiality might reasonably be questioned. that is where an unbiased and reasonable person who is aware of all relevant circumstances would doubt that the justice could fairly discharge his or

her duties. any reason this flag situation shouldn't apply here? >> right, so it absolutely should, and this code, which the supreme court adopted under pressure is not binding. there's no enforcement mechanism, but it's the same code that binds, literally binds every other federal judge in the country. there's a version that applies to state court judges, but look, if you're a judge, you don't need to read the words that are printed on the paper. you understand that the integrity of your institution and the public's ability to have confidence when you're making tough decisions that a lot of people will be upset about, that you're doing that with integrity, that confidence, that strength of the institution of the courts depends on how every individual judge and justice conducts themselves. and justice alito has failed that test. these flags, you know, i hear what the senators are saying. maybe it's a lot of noise about something that's minor, but it's

not minor if you're a judge. you don't fly a flag that demonstrates political allegiance or a certain religious view about the future of the country and then believe that you can sit on these cases and decide close calls and have the public believe that your institution is a righteous one. this is a big deal. it's not an issue that we should let go of. >> joyce, other than alito recusing himself, could the chief justice take action here? why isn't he? >> you know, the chief justice, i think we hear that term chief justice and believe that he somehow sits above other justices, but that's not the the case. his role is largely administration. he has no ability to compel any justice to take any action or to avoid sitting on a case other than the persuasive power of his voice. and justice roberts, we've not seen him use that effectively. he certainly is the chief of a difficult course of justices with their own views.

chief justices in the past have certainly gone to some members of the court and had patient conversations with them to avoid certain sorts of issues. that's not happening here, and i don't think we can realistically expect to see the chief justice play a role in justice alito's decision-making process about what cases he will and won't sit on. >> dahlia, let's take a look at some of the recent polling about the supreme court, a marquette law school poll found just 40% approval of the court a few months ago. the court's approval has been below 50% for more than two years now. it's been record or near record lows. is this a failing of john roberts as chief justice? of course it's a 6-3 majority. has he lost control of the conservative wing of the court? >> it's completely a failing, and i think that to the extent that, you know, joyce is right, he has limited powers over his colleagues, but i think that he has used not even his limited powers and, in fact, when he's been criticized, in fact, when he was supposed to come testify

about ethics, he just declined to show up, and the ethics rules that were adopted this fall came with a really nasty little pream -- preamble suggesting the justices had always followed the ethics rules, i think he has fairly consistently taken the position not just that i'm kind of hands off here. there's not much i can do, but i think that time and time again, he's used his one vote to, for instance, not join the alito opinion in dobbs reversing roe v. wade, he knows how to use his vote, his singular vote to make a point. he joined justice alito's 6-3 opinion without comment yesterday essentially eviscerating what's left of the right for minorities to effectuate their own right to vote. so i don't think we should expect meaningful leadership from the chief justice, and i think that given that he claimed

when he took this job that that was his number one priority was the institutional legitimacy of the court, on his own terms he failed. >> you were just referencing that south carolina gerrymandering case and the outcome there where they said, no, it was a partisan gerrymander, not a racial gerrymander. thank you so much for your legal analysis, i appreciate you. have a wonderful weekend. up next here on "ana cabrera reports," the international criminal court orders israel to halt their rafah military operation in gaza. what it means for a region under pressure. plus, more university leaders grilled on capitol hill over anti-semitism on campus as students walk out of graduation ceremonies over the war in gaza. >> why did you not immediately send the police that were standing by? >> we tried. ...but her medicatd unintentional movements in her

breaking news from the international court of justice, which just released its order calling on israel to halt its offensive in rafah. however, the court doesn't have a way to really enforce its decision, but the ruling comes as israel is expanding its ground operations in that southern gaza city, and facing increasing isolation in the international community over its military conduct, and there's new urgency around reaching a cease fire deal as cia director

bill burns heads to europe to meet with israeli and qatari negotiators. let's get right to nbc news foreign correspondent raf sanchez in tel aviv for us. raf, what kind of significance does this ruling from the international court of justice hold? >> reporter: so, ana, this ruling is binding and it is final, so if israel does not comply with it, technically they are in breach of international law. but as you said, the court does not have an enforcement mechanism, and in the past rulings of the icj have been ignored by israel and by others. now, if there is a dispute, this could go to the u.n. security council, which could in theory enforce this ruling, but israel will be hoping that the united states would veto any measures there that the security council might take against it, but as you said, this leaves israel more diplomatically isolated. it comes a few days after the international criminal court

said its prosecutor is seeking the arrest of prime minister benjamin netanyahu and israeli defense minister yoav gallant accusing them of intentionally starving the civilian population of gaza, an allegation that they deny. prime minister netanyahu is right now meeting with members of his cabinet formulating a response to this ruling by the international court of justice. israel has said in the past it will not allow the court to end its war against hamas in gaza, and it sees this rafah operation as absolutely critical to that war effort. ana, there might be little bit of legal wiggle room here. the court says israel has one month to submit a report explaining how it is complying with the court's ruling. israel might take the position that as long as this rafah operation is done within the next months, it could say in that report that it has complied with what the judges ordered. >> but we're getting reports

that israel is actually expanding its attack on rafah as the cia director heads to europe for cease fire talks, what more do we know just about the stakes of this moment? >> reporter: so as you say, ana, 800,000 palestinian civilians have now been displaced from rafah out of a total population of about 1.6 million. many of those are people who are already displaced from cities in the north. now, the white house is saying that this is still within the lines that it set, that it wants israel to refrain from launching an all-out offensive against the population centers, but palestinians will tell you this feels like an all-out offensive to them. cia director bill burns heading to paris, he's due to meet with the head of the mossad spy agency with the prime minister of qatar, key negotiators in these long-running cease fire talks. ana, we have seen this movie before where the cia director heads to a capital in europe, in

the middle east, trying to breathe new life into these talks, but they have been stalled since late november, and there isn't a lot of optimism right now, ana. >> still, don't give up. don't give up i think is the message they're sending. raf sanchez, thank you. college students across america are wrapping up their academic year, but on campus, unrest over the israel hamas war is far from over. hundreds of harvard students walked out of their commencement ceremony yesterday chanting free palestine, and at ucla, protesters clashed with police briefly occupying an academic haul after another makeshift encampment was broken up. all this as their chancellor was across the country getting grilled by congress about his administration's response to the violence that broke out on his campus weeks ago. today we're also keeping a close eye on the small british island territory of turks and caicos where a court is expected to sentence the first of five americans arrested for bringing ammunition onto the island illegally.

brian hagerich of pennsylvania was arrested in february when airport security found ammunition in his luggage when he tried to board a flight home with his family. he says he left it there accidentally. now, under the island's strict firearm laws, haggerich faces a 12-year minimum sentence. american politicians are pushing for a do not travel advisory to the island that could cripple its tourism dependent economy. next on "ana cabrera reports," a multibillion dollar settlement with the ncaa that could change the landscape of sports. and later, tens of millions set to travel for the holiday weekend, what you need to know before you head out that door. nw before you head out that door. . i just want to feel protected! especially for those sudden gush moments. always discreet protects like no other. with a rapid dry core that locks in your heaviest gush quickly for up to zero leaks. always discreet- the protection we deserve! smile! you found it. the feeling of finding psoriasis

and we're not just talking about sponsorships. the tentative $2.8 billion deal settles a series of antitrust lawsuits against the ncaa and could mean big money for athletes in the not so distant future. nbc news senior business correspondent christine romans has more on this. bring us the details. >> this is really a big deal. the ncaa and its five power conferences have agreed to allow schools to pay their division i players. an attorney representing the athletes telling us it is a major landmark settlement. >> wide open -- >> reporter: overnight, a revolution in college sports, the ncaa has always viewed student athletes as amateurs, but college sports have exploded in popularity becoming a multibillion dollar business and launching super stars. >> and your new all-time ncaa leading scorer, caitlin clark! >> and athletes have been speaking out for years. >> i think they should be paid some portion of the money so

that their basic needs are taken care of. >> reporter: now the ncaa announcing a historic agreement allowing schools to pay division i players for the first time in 100 years. the organization and its five power conferences, acc big ten, and the s.e.c. all agreeing to pay nearly $3 billion in damages to current and former athletes who were prevented from earning endorsement money and a cut of broadcast revenues. it's all part of a proposed settlement in three antitrust cases. >> this is a huge win for athlete advocates. >> reporter: in addition to back pay for former athletes, the settlement also includes a ground breaking revenue sharing plan for future stars, allows over 300 division i schools to share up to $20 million each per year with athletes. in a joint statement the ncaa and its five conferences calling the settlement an important step in the continuing reform of college sports. attorneys representing college athletes calling the settlement a major landmark victory. this is just the latest major

domino to fall in college athletics with the ncaa in recent years letting athletes receive academic bonuses as well as allowing them to profit from their name, image, and likeness opening the way for endorsement deals for athletes in every college sport. >> now, this proposed settlement will head back to the plaintiffs in those three antitrust cases for approval. then it will eventually need to be signed off by a judge. that's expected, ana, to take maybe several months. >> and it seems like there are lots of details to work out there. >> absolutely. >> christine romans, good to have you here, thank you. police in louisville, kentucky, have now released new video showing the arrest of the world's number one ranked golfer, scottie scheffler, and it shows scheffler's arrest last friday. the golfer faces multiple charges including reckless driving and assaulting a police officer. nbc's stephanie gosk has more. stephanie. >> scottiestephanie. >> scottie scheffler, the number one ranked golfer in the world is playing in a tournament this weekend in fort wo worth, rttexas, but he will hav

well, this weekend, americans are hitting the road and taking to the skies, setting the tone for a busy season of summer travel and what is expected to be the most high transit memorial day in nearly 20 years. more than 43 million people in the u.s. are projected to travel at least 50 miles from home, and today alone the tsa says it is expecting nearly 3 million passengers. one potential source of anxiety, of course, airports across the country experienced thousands of flight delays yesterday, and nbc's priya is tracking it all from atlanta. what are travelers in for today as they jump aboard those planes, trains and automobiles? >> reporter: that's right, ana, it is the unofficial kickoff to the summer and so far today at least things aren't looking so bad. there are 465 delays nationwide and only 6 cancellations so far. you can see here at the world's busiest airport there is a little bit of a lull right now. it was much busier earlier

today, but we anticipate things are going to pick up as the day continues to go on. the tsa said that in the te s by busiest travel days ever recorded, they beat the number of tsa agents they have on staff today. we expect to see that at airports across the country. the overwhelming majority of americans who are traveling this holiday weekend are choosing to do so by car, ana. 38 million americans, in fact. so the optimal window to travel if you haven't done so just yet, is before 11:00 a.m. on thursday or friday. so if you're on the east coast, kind of running out of time, but if you're on the central or western time zones, you might want to take off kind of soon. and it is best to try to avoid traveling home in the afternoon and evening hours on sunday and monday between the hours of 4:00 and 7:00 p.m. are expected to be

the busiest, ana. >> priya, thank you. trying to channel that feel good summer spirit right now. happy friday. that's going to do it for us today. have a wonderful memorial day weekend. safe travels to those of you hitting the road. i'll be back with you on tuesday. don't forget, you can catch our show online around the clock on youtube and other platforms. thanks for joining us. i'm ana cabrera reporting from new york. jose diaz-balart picks up our coverage right now. good morning. 11:00 a.m. eastern, 8:00 a.m. pacific. i'm jose diaz-balart. we begin this hour with breaking news. today, the international court of justice ruled that israel must end its military campaign in the southern gaza city of rafah. lawyers on behalf of south africa requested the court to immediately intervene and stop israel's offensive in the city where more than 1 million people sought refuge. the ruling comes just days after the chi
