d. call today! good to be with you. i'm katy tur. forget the conventions, the real start of the 2024 election will arguably be next week when a jury will decide what sort of republican candidate will be running for the white house.

if donald trump is found guilty after closing arguments, he will not only be the first criminally indicted former president. he'll be the first felony convict to have held the presidency and who is trying to hold it again. if so, what will it change about the race. we have polls that suggest it will matter, and polls that suggest it will not. we just won't know until we know. which is why the biden campaign is trying to put the onus of beating donald trump firmly on the voters. for one person familiar with biden's plans for a more aggressive posture, donald trump's legal troubles are not going to keep him out of the white house. only one thing will do that. voting this november for joe biden. president biden and his team have barely mentioned the indictments and the trials, instead, trying to focus voters on trump as a threat to democracy, and a threat to women. but is that enough? in a survey after survey, most voters say their biggest issue

above democracy, above abortion is the economy and a feeling of insecurity. that feeling is especially persistent among younger black and brown voters who say president biden hasn't made their lives better. just listen to a few of them who showed up to see donald trump in the bronx of all places. >> it's too much crime. everything is going downhill. the economy is going bad. the food is expensive. it's like affordable housing is not for everybody. it's horrible. >> i want food cheaper, the gas, i want gas cheaper. when i came and he was the president, the gas is a lot cheaper than it is right now. >> now we're becoming the bronx second class citizens. we have this influx of migrants coming in, and they're getting everything. and everyone in the bronx in the city of new york is forgotten. >> listen, it is exceedingly unlikely that donald trump would win the minority vote in this country, but when the election comes down to a few states and

maybe 10 to 30,000 votes, peopling off even some of these formerly firm democratic voters could be a big difference maker. joining us now, nbc news white house correspondent mike memoli. nbc news washington correspondent, yamiche alcindor, and "new york times" chief white house correspondent and msnbc political analyst, peter baker. mike, i'm going to start with you. how is the biden team trying to look at these rallies that donald trump is holding, having a rally in the bronx, did that shake anything within the biden team about their approach? >> the biden team is not necessarily worried about donald trump's campaign tactics. the rallies are a staple of what he has been up to. they are concerned about the fact he has been dominated the media landscape for as long as the trial is going on. i was talking earlier this week with a senior campaign official about the impact the trial has had. they held their hands out like they were handcuffed to say the

campaign has been handcuffed by the inability to get their message out, as long as this trial has been dominating the media attention. and so that's why you're seeing this potentially new approach, once the trial wraps up, regardless of the verdict, guilty or not guilty for the campaign to come out swinging hard. if trump is convicted. they're considering branding him as a convicted felon. if they're acquitted, they're looking at a similar situation to what they found four years ago when candidate joe biden was struggling to gain transaction ahead of the iowa caucuses, new hampshire primary because of trump's impeachment trial, in the closing days before iowa, it was candidate biden saying the die is cast here, trump will be acquitted and the onus is on me to beat him in november. that's going to be the argument if indeed trump is acquitted because the biden campaign thinks that the biggest problem that this trial has posed is it's increased the doubts among those least engaged voters who still for whatever reason don't

believe trump will be the republican nominee. once the trial is over and once they're on a debate stage in a few weeks, that will crystallize the biden campaign's view and the choice that voters face. whether you like that these are the candidates or not, it's donald trump versus joe biden. >> do they feel they're able to get the message out on the economy? >> that is certainly what every poll across every age group shows is the dominant issue for the voters. that's what biden campaign wants to do more of. having the president showing the empathy, he understands voters are feeling the pain, he's doing everything he can, and you have heard him in some of these events he's doing, maybe not as much attention trying to crystallize as a choice of joe biden who have used the economy through the lens of scranton, middle class upbringing versus donald trump on the side of the wealthy and those campaign donors. that's the choice they want to get in front of voters. they have been having a hard time doing it. >> talk about the latest in the double hater series, whach you

found? >> it's been interesting, and people getting familiar with the term, double haters. the people who don't like former president trump and also don't like president biden either. we had a focus group of latino double haters who were living in arizona, and they told us that they were really worried about the economy, which is of course one of the top issues, but also about the border. they didn't like the handling of both. take a listen to what they told us. >> i feel like they both contributed into not having washington have any sort of deal in regards to immigration. i feel they both played a part. >> you don't hear him speak about the border or push for any change or policies on the border, and that's all you would hear about trump, he would talk about a wall. at least he would -- that's something. >> keeps denying the border. keep saying that it's being taken care of, being taken care

of. >> i don't think biden's done much of anything. trump was very aggressive with immigration, and i feel like biden just let it unravel. >> really what we heard from people is they do think that former president donald trump would do a better job with the border, but they also blamed him for border legislation not going through congress. they acknowledge one voter especially acknowledged there was a deal on the border and that it was donald trump who said he did not want to support that. that voter said he wants this to be a live issue because it helps him. so really interesting things that we heard from the voters, katy. >> peter, i want to broaden out for you on this. i came across a david brooks article from a year ago, asking the question, what if we're the bad guys here, talking about the way that these issues are framed, donald trump and a threat to democracy, and abortion, of course why would you ever consider voting for him, that there is something that the people who see that are

missing. and he writes this, the idea that we're all in this together was replaced with the reality that the educated class lives in a world up here and everybody else is forced into a world down there. members of our class are always publicly speaking out for the marginalized but somehow we always end up building systems that serve ourselves. i was struck by last night in the bronx, one of the things that came up among the voters there was that the migrants were a problem, and they were taking away services from people in this city who needed the services, and i think that's a really good example of what david brooks is arguing here, which is that you have the meritocracy up here, the people who have achieved and earned and are in a cycle of self-fulfillment, and everybody else fighting for the scraps down here. looking for somebody to portray that anger, donald trump has successfully been able to convince you he is that person. >> yeah, no, he is. the irony of course is a new

york billionaire, but somehow he has framed himself as a populist champion of destroying the status quo, and whatever the status quo you like is, you look at him as your warrior, in effect, and that could be a culture warrior kind of status quo, an economic status quo, it could be, you know, immigration, race, religion, values, all of these different things that some people feel are, you know, out of whack in america. he is embodying the sledge hammer to the establishment, and the establishment has worked well for those who are doing well, and so they're not looking at trump that way. they look at him as an agent of chaos and destruction. tearing down institutions and systems that have worked at least for those parts of america for many many years, and i think that's the dichotomy. in some ways, obviously it's an election about joe biden and donald trump, but also an election about america and where

americans are at this point, and how they feel about this country. >> and to be fair, most americans aren't happy with either candidate. they don't want either candidate to be running. they don't feel like this election is representative of what they want, this is the election they have. i wonder, do you think the biden team is on top of this? are they missing something here? is there messaging that donald trump is a threat to democracy. donald trump is a threat to women. compelling enough voters for them to beat him, and i asked that because i had david wasserman on of the cook political report, and they had a survey that said, the majority of voters realize that donald trump is a threat to democracy, and they think he might want to become a dictator, and he's a threat to women's health. they worry about their pockets more, their economic outlook, and not that they're doing well now, but they might not still be doing well in the future. there's a feeling of insecurity looking beyond today, into tomorrow, and they think donald trump is going to be better able to protect them economically. >> yeah, and there's a

disconnect, obviously, between statistics and perception at this point, right. we saw polling just this week, i think, that showed that half the country, maybe even a majority of the country believe we're in a recession. we're not in a recession. that's just a factual statement. many americans believe that, you know, that the stock market is down, when in fact, of course, it is up. many people believe that unemployment is at a 50-year high, when in fact, actually, it has been the lowest it has been in 50 years in terms of a streak turned 4%. there's a perception that things aren't going well among the lot of people, even if the statistics are telling them otherwise, and the biden campaign's challenge has been trying to communicate a message to the country, and it hasn't worked. bidenomics, they tried to market it. it didn't work. people don't want to be told the economy is good if they don't feel that way. how does the biden campaign get

through. they're stuck in this awkward position, eventually people would see it in their own lives that gave them faith and confidence in where things are going. that doesn't seem to be happening at this point, and we're very close to the point where people start casting ballots and perceptions are locking. >> joe biden won partly because donald trump was doing such a terrible job with the pandemic. now that the pandemic is past, it does seem, peter, there's a pandemic hangover. there's pandemic ptsd, and i wonder now if joe biden is the one that is suffering from that pandemic hangover, this feeling, this lack of optimism that americans have, that optimism that seemed to be stripped away because of what happened to us during the pandemic. >> i think we're at a period of what we would call the jimmy carter area, kind of a malaise at some level. a lot of americans feel upset about the pandemic, as you say, not excited, not enthusiastic. there's a lot of feeling that the schools let kids down, and

the kids are trying to catch up. you know, there's a sense that the economy hasn't fully recovered, even though, again, by most statistical measures it's doing quite well. better than large economies around the world. the perception hasn't caught up, and look, is this sour period in our history more generally? if you look at the poll numbers, it will show you that most americans believe that the united states is on the wrong track now, going back to the bush era. halfway through george w. bush's presidency, the number of americans on the wrong track fell below 50%. it's been a prolonged period of disenchantment and disillusion. it can be played out different ways, outside versus inside, establishment versus disruption agents. we're in a period in the history that the pandemic has only accentuated, where we don't believe in the country the same way we used to. >> the country was misled into a multidecade war in the bush era

that we're suffering the consequences of. peter baker yamiche alcindor, mike memoli, thank you so much. what senate democrats are asking chief justice john roberts to do about the flags linked to january 6th rioters. senator sheldon whitehouse joins us. first up, what russia and north korea could be planning around the presidential election in november. what they might want to do. we are back in 90 seconds. ght wo we are back in 90 seconds. here's to beating these two every thursday. help fuel today with boost high protein, complete nutrition you need... ...without the stuff you don't. so, here's to now. boost.

donald trump said he quote fell in love with kim jong un through handwritten love letters, and expressed more trust for vladimir putin than he did his own intelligence agency, and now the biden administration fears both world leaders could be teaming up to intentionally stir up trouble ahead of the november election. six senior u.s. officials tell nbc news exclusively that there are concerns russia and north korea are planning an october surprise that could benefit donald trump. joining us now, nbc news national security correspondent courtney kube. explain this reporting. >> reporter: so u.s. officials here have been telling us for weeks now they are increasingly concerned about seeing actions

out of north korea that could be some of the most provocative mission actions, to something like an underground nuclear test or firing some artillery or some sort of interactions back and forth with south korea. now, it's not uncommon for north korea to act up, to increase their provocative actions during an election year, but the officials told us they are watching for the possibility that these actions could be closer to the election and that there may be some tie with russia here, that russia may be this new strengthening relationship between russia and north korea could be encouraging north korea to do things that could impact the election later this year. now, there has been this relationship. we've seen it unfold over a matter of months. north korea has been providing russia with millions of rounds of artillery and ammunition that made a difference on the battlefield in ukraine.

in exchange, russia has given north korea, food and oil, and maybe some money. we are told that north korea is asking for other things, and there's increasing concern, katy, that russia could be providing them with some advanced technologies, particularly in the world of nuclear submarine technology, advanced missile technologies that could lead to north korea advancing some of the military capabilities, further than we have ever seen, katy. >> courtney, what are doing about this? >> the u.s. has reached out to north korea and made it clear that they are open to diplomacy here. they are open to speaking to them. north korea has shown no interest in that. in fact, everyone is thousand watching to see what happens in the possibility that donald trump is reelected, as you mentioned. he and kim jong un did have a relationship. there was diplomatic back and forth during the trump presidency. the question is can there be some diplomatic overtures during

the biden administration. one thing we have also seen historically is when the u.s. and north korea are talking or even if there's a possibility of talks, the provocative actions by north korea do decrease. >> courtney kube, thank you very much. and what happened inside a delaware courthouse where hunter biden is facing felony gun charges. sheldon whitehouse joins us after the break. what he asked chief justice john roberts to do about justice samuel alito. liberty mutual customized my car insurance and i saved hundreds. that's great.

democrats see a supreme court crisis in the works. republicans don't see much of a problem. here's how gop senators are describing news of the two flags linked to the stop the steal movement flown at two of justice samuel alito's properties. >> just an example of the democrats attacking the supreme court. >> i just think the 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 you're a public figure, whether judiciary or the u.s. senate, probably not wise. >> both the upside down flag, which was flown outside his virginia home january 2021 and

the appeal to heaven flag also seen here, flown outside his new jersey vacation home, multiple days in 2023 are linked, as you can see from these images to rioters who stormed the capitol on january 6th. while justice alito has not commented on the appeal to heaven flag, his wife is the one who flew the upside down flag in the virginia home in the dispute with their neighbor. joining us now, rhode island senator and member of the judiciary committee, sheldon whitehouse who alongside dick durbin sent a letter to chief justice roberts requesting a meeting to ensure justice alito recuses himself from january 6th cases. thank you for being with us. do you expect that justice roberts, the chief justice will meet with you? >> we'll see, we certainly hope so as the chief justice, he also serves as the chairman of the judicial conference, which is the administrative body that oversees the judicial branch, and that body is a body

established by congress, and it enforces laws passed by congress. so he'd be in a peculiar position if he were to say congress can't speak to the chairman of an agency it established about how the agency is implementing laws congress has passed. so i think we'll be able to get by that, and certainly hope so. >> how have you felt about chief justice roberts and his communication with you and the committee and his operation, his leadership of the supreme court. do you think he's an honest operator? >> i think he's in a very difficult position, and i think he has let justice thomas, and justice alito, he's cut them way too much slack, and they seem to have gone completely rogue. so what he has been doing hasn't been working. and that's one of the reasons we want to meet, to see what it is

that the judicial conference and the chair of that conference, him, the chief justice can do about justices who have really gone rogue, are violating the rules of the supreme court very plainly, violating the ethics rules for all federal judges, violating federal laws. you just can't put up with that. you wouldn't put up with that in any agency, my god, how about the united states supreme court. >> your leagues, many of them republican, don't think this is a big deal. what do you say to them about this? >> well, you know, we went through this when we got the subpoenas for the billionaires that have been funding the billionaire gift program that has been propping up the lifestyles of clarence thomas and sam alito. they just immediately went to the defense of the court, fought against even finding out what the facts were, and nobody was really willing to defend the

proposition that a very wealthy individual can buy a supreme court justice a quarter of a million dollar motor coach and never get the principle paid back and maybe the justice not only didn't declare it on his disclosure forms, but maybe didn't even declare it on his taxes. those are questions no person in their right mind can really overlook. so i think once you get through the immediate effort to defend a very right wing supreme court and you get down to the actual merits, these are arguments that are very hard not to accept. >> so what has been the process? i mean, have you found that some of your colleagues have been more willing to sign on to these investigative measures that you want, that want these questions answered? because when we were interviewing them as you saw in the lead-up to this interview, they, again, think that this is,

you know, overwrought and blown up by the media. >> originally senator graham was working with me on trying to figure out what was wrong with the disclosure at the supreme court. they were not disclosing massive gifts that members of congress, members of the executive branch have to disclose, and it's only when the charges became so significant that all of that peeled away and we went back to a fully tribal defense of the court. and i think it's hard to overlook the role of a bunch of right wing billionaires who funded the long, long effort to capture the court and get these right wing justices on to it, who are funding front groups that are telling the justices what to do case by case, and who are also funding the republican party, if super pacs, the big

organizations have supported. i think it's a tough position for republican senators to be in when it's their donors behind the whole thing. >> it kind of sounds like you're saying because of the way these justices have gotten on the court and the influence these billionaires have and these foundations have, federal society, which you're alluding to, that the decisions of these justices aren't exactly valid. are you arguing that? >> i actually have argued two things, one, that there is a pattern that is impossible to explain or justify, of these justices following what they're told to do by these billionaires and the front groups through which they operate, and second, that some of the decisions they have made stand on propositions that are so factually false that they can't sort of stand any longer, the factual predicate, the factual basis for the decision is absolutely

irretrievably wrong, and we know that now, and so those decisions should fall simply because they stand on false facts. >> you say they should fall, but what are you -- how do they fall if they're not going to fall with the supreme court, or the highest body? >> and there's the problem. the supreme court will go back and clear it up. >> should people follow those decisions? >> huh? >> should people follow those decisions? the court functions only because there's trust in it. that's the only way. we decide to bestow them the authority. we no longer trusted court, where does that leave you? >> we are a rule of law country, and follow the law. one of the ways you can follow the law is to go into the lower courts and challenge the supreme court's adequacy and if they agree, they could say you know what, you're right, that stands on this factual proposition.

i know that factual proposition to be false. therefore that is not good precedent, and i'm not going to follow it. that is the rule of law way of solving this problem. >> really interesting, senator white house, thank you so much. missouri state ben baker said his daughter and son-in-law were attacked by gangs while working as missionaries. they were ambushed by three trucks filled with men. representative baker said my heart is broken in a thousand pieces. yesterday in a press conference, president biden announced support for kenyan led police coalition in haiti. coming up, what we're learning about rfk junior's running mate. and hunter biden was in court today on gun charges. what it means for his case and what does it mean politically speaking as well? don't go anywhere. speakings awl don't go anywhere.

hunter biden was back in court. joining us from delaware, nbc correspondent, ken dilanian. what was he doing there? >> reporter: he was there for the last pretrial hearing before the start of his trial on those federal gun charges which begins june 3rd with jury selection. we learned today it's expected to be a two-week trial.

the governor will call 12 witnesses. today's hearing was arguing about which kinds of testimony can and can't be excluded from the jury to hash that out. doesn't have to be argued during the trial. the judge gave both sides some of what they wanted. they are allowed to quote from the memoir and the infamous laptop. and the defense will be allowed to challenge on a case by case, message by message basis the authenticity of the material. the defense successfully got a ruling to exclude any mention of the other criminal case against hunter biden in california, the tax charges, and also some negative material in his background, for example, that he was discharged from the navy after testing positive for cocaine. the big picture, hunter biden, having walked away from a plea deal with no jail time, is facing decades in prison in two major felony trials and one is

going to begin next month. >> wild stuff, ken dilanian, thank you very much. and who is nicole shanahan. she's robert f. kennedy jr.'s vice presidential pick. if you know her name, that might be the only thing you know about her, unless you're a part of a subculture of new age influencers who have come to believe western medicine is a scam. joining us now, senior reporter, brandy, you did a deep dive on nicole. tell me about her. who is she? >> she is the ex-wife of google founder, now probably a billionaire herself because of that divorce settlement. and she had a really tumultuous 2020. a lot of us did, right, april 2020 is a really important time for nicole shanahan. imagine your life during april 2020. it was a scary time. pandemic was coming. lockdowns were here. that made a lot of people fall into this sort of wellness,

conspiracy theory trap. with nicole shanahan something else happened in april 2020, and she got an autism diagnosis for her 18-month-old daughter. that diagnosis for a lot of people who get a diagnosis of autism with kids, sent her down this rabbit hole of online junk. junk research, junk blog posts, junk influencers who sold her a bill of goods that autism is something that can and needs to be fixed and so she threw millions of her dollars into this research at these influencers and it ultimately led her to robert f. kennedy, and that is how she found him. >> these influencers, one of them is a doctor that claims that artificial light can cause autism, that vaccines can cause autism. you might have heard of him at some point. he's one of those doctors that said you should put sun on your private parts for good health. it was kind of a joke online a few years ago. how did she get so closely tied

into it, and how is that affecting robert f. kennedy. does it matter to his campaign, having her and his believes. they kind of align. >> definitely speaking to the crowd. i went to a rally in austin where she spoke, and she spoke about soil and big pharma and ag, she gets huge applause, people love it. outside of that rally, those circles, it's crazy talk, right, warming your genitals in the sun for fertility. she came upon this through the autism diagnosis, and she's now sort of surrounded herself with people including her new partner, jacob, who believe these things, wear blue light goggles and glasses because they think their computer is giving them turbo cancer and things like that. >> does it have more of a hold than we give it credit for, among enough voters to sway the election. when you see her talk to people,

how big are the crowds? >> a couple hundred people. she mostly goes on these fringe podcasts and fringe you tube channels and she speaks to people there who already do believe this stuff. now, i have more faith in the american public that they realize that, you know, dr. jack cruise is not the person they should be going to for medical advice. and it's true. it's a slim audience that he has, but, you know, there are lingering conspiracy theories and beliefs about covid vaccines right now, i think something like 25% of people said that they know someone who was injured or dead because of covid vaccines. that's a wild talk. >> i have friends who bring this up, and i say where is your evidence of this, and they just say, oh, they feel it. >> or they have seen it on the internet. >> they have seen it on the internet. >> it's scary. brandy zadrosky, thank you as always for your great reporting. coming up, if you want to see taylor swift, we can help

nbc senior business correspondent christine romans has that story. >> this is a seismic shift in college athletics, for the first time in its 100 plus year history of college sports, the ncaa and its five power conferences have agreed to allow schools to pay their division one players. an attorney representing the athletes telling us both sides recognizing this is a major landmark settlement. >> a revolution in college sports, the ncaa has viewed student athletes as amateurs but college sports have exploded in popularity, becoming a multibillion dollar business and launching superstars. >> your new all time ncaa leading scorer, caitlin clark. [ applause ]. >> 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. >> 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 10,

big 12, pac-12, and s.e.c. all agreeing to pay $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. >> in addition to back pay for former athletes, the settlement also includes a ground breaking revenue sharing plan for future stars, allowing 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 letting athletes receive academic bonuses, as well as allowing them to profit from their name, image and likeness, opening the

doors for endorsements in every college sport. >> this proposed settlement would head back to the plaintiff in the three antitrust cases for approval, and it will need to be signed off by judge claudia wilkin which will take several months. >> joining us now, espn analyst, and professor at phillip merrill college of journalism, kevin blackstone, you have advocates for this, tell me why. >> because it's about time that these athletes be treated like the employees of the multibillion dollar college athletic industrial complex that they are and have been a couple of decades now. it's ridiculous you and i can go to a college game, pay to get in, pay to buy refreshments, the officials are being paid to referee the game. the colleges, the coaches are being paid to coach the game, all there to see the athletes and they're the only ones in the entire place aren't getting

enumerated properly and fairly for their work. >> how much will they be paid? >> we don't know that. everything will be capped once this gets ironed out but we know about a year ago commissioner of the ncaa, baker, mentioned that he thought maybe paying players as much as $30,000 per year for their sport might be something that they will look at. so we really don't know, but the good thing is that the amateurism, myth of amateurism in college athletics is dead. >> pretty standard? or will some players get more than others? or is it that everyone's getting the same and they're going to factor in that these star players, these big-time players, get endorsement deals now? >> i don't know that -- i think everybody will be paid somewhat the same. now that the n.i.l. named image

and likeness is available. everybody can kind of cash in on their own fame and make even more from their athletic prowess, but what really strikes me in this and what makes me hopeful and happy is that for so long black male athletes have really carried the load of college sports in football and obviously in basketball. and the ones to start to benefit off of their hard work, off of their blood sweat and tears. that's finally out the way. end of the day, really not about sports. it was really a racial, a social, really a labor justice issue. finally it is being looked at. >> and title 9, and federal regulation, money goes to all

athletes of the school not just the ones that bring in viewers, the ones that put butts in seats? >> right now looks like bulk of it going to those who bring in revenues. revenue-generating sports. football, men's basketball, the most part. women's basketball in some confines as we have seen with the caitlin clark super nova show going on the last year, year or so. but these sports have always paid for the other sports as a friend of mine down at university of south carolina likes to say two sports on college campuses. revenue and expenditure sports. revenue generating sports always paid for the others to exist. that will continue to happen and those that generate revenues are those who should be able to share in that pie. >> kevin blackstone. thank you for joining us. >> thank you. boy, do i have good news for you. tickets to see taylor swift in indianapolis -- not the good news.
