defendant, donald trump, expected to plead not guilty to the new charges, by far the most serious of the dozens he now faces. donald trump set to face a federal judge today and the four new felony counts filed against him, for his efforts to overturn the 2020 election. the former president thanking his supporters for standing by him in the face of what he's slamming as an unprecedented indictment, for what prosecutors describe as a criminal scheme to hang on to power after the last election. special counsel jack smith says he wants to see a trial as soon as possible. but with the rapidly approaching election, mr. trump's attorneys indicating their defense will rely on the first amendment. >> it's the first time that a sitting president is attacking a political opponent on first amendment grounds and basically making it criminal to state your position and to engage in political -- >> i've got to give you a little time-out on that one. >> yeah, we've never seen that before. >> the indictment specifically says that the president has a first amendment right to speech, and has a first amendment right to lie. >> absolutely.

>> says it right here. this indictment is criminalizing conduct, not speech. >> no, it's criminalizing speech for this reason. reason. what the president saw in the 2020 election with all of these irregularities going on, he had every right to comment on that >> reporter: overnight, mr. trump's former attorney general, bill barr who has been critical of the former president since leaving office, saying the first amendment will not protect the former president, but adding >> at firs wasn't suret mp knew welat hst the believe that election >> reporter: central to the plot outlined by prosecutors was an alleged effort by mr. trump and his co-conspirators, including eastman to pure viceani and presidenke pence to se aside lawful vote count on january 6th, whience repeatedly refused to do >> i dismissed it out of hand, but sadly, the president was surrounded by a group of crackpot lawyers that kept telling him what his itching ears wanted to hear. >> reporter: pence now challenging his former boss for

the 2024 gop nomination. mr. trump firing back on social media, saying that he feels badly for pence, suggesting his campaign has struggled because, quote, he didn't fight against election fraud other rivals largely standing by the gop front-runner, including ron desantis, saying that trump can't get a fair trial in an overwhelmingly democratic washington, d.c. >> a d.c. jury would indict a ham sandwich and convict a ham sandwich if it was a republican ham sandwich >> reporter: a d.c. jury would be the most recent and most pressing of mr. trump's legal problems the former president now on track to face at least three different trials in three different jurisdictions in the coming election year hoda >> all right, garrett. also, security top of mind what are the preparations like there? >> reporter: yeah, hoda. significant security preparations seen and unseen here at the federal courthouse overnight, court officials and police put out metal barricades, pushing back the distance between the courthouse and the

public here. we saw k-9 unites out on the street yesterday and more police from different jurisdictions arriving to help lock down this federal courthouse it all comes after a pretty scary scene yesterday, just two blocks up the road on capitol hill, where police responded to reports of an active shooter in a senate office building it led to quick evacuations, lockdowns, staffers being taken out of a building at the point of a gun, as police searched through these senate office buildings. ultimately, they found no shooter, and that 911 call is now under investigation. but just a tense and scary scene ahead of a busy day here today, where folks are hoping for a much calmer environment than what people saw at the last arraignment in miami hoda >> all right garrett haake for us at the courthouse garrett, thank you >> joining us now, nbc news legal analyst, danny cevallos. hi, danny, good morning. a big issue. we'll do this arraignment, it's pretty pro forma an issue that will come up pretty quickly is when this trial date will be set the prosecutor has said, we're ready to go, we want a speedy trial.

as you and i both know, it's the defendant's right to the speedy trial. how do you think these issues will play out, whether or not we're going to see a trial before the election. >> you're exactly right. the speedy trial act is supposed to benefit the defendant, a defendant that is being held in jail and wants his trial to come forward and wants the government to put up or shut up but in long-ranging federal investigations like this, the speedy trial act actually benefits the government. i would bet that jack smith is ready to go to trial tomorrow on this case. meanwhile, the defense hasn't gotten one stitch of discovery yet. and when you had that terrific interview with trump's defense attorney, he pointed that out. they need time to review documents. another big time part of this will be motions. motions to dismiss by the defense based on the constitutionality of these charges and whether or not this judge decides to allow, even if she denies them, decides to go up on appeal before trial. >> so the defense has a right to say, let's slow it down, let me get discovery. the government can't force a trial in 70 days >> the defense has a right to a speedy trial

a defense does not have a right to the opposite of a speedy trial. the defense does not have the right to delay that is particularly true in federal court, where criminal dockets move like rockets, very quickly. >> and a lot of this falls to the judge. already we're seeing some of trump's allies saying, this judge is an an obama-appointed judge. she's been super stuff son some of these january 6th defendants. in these federal cases, it's almost like a wheel. you get assigned at random, for example, down in florida, you had a trump-appointed judge. >> a great spin of the wheel in florida. >> that's just how it goes, but how mieg that play out especially when the defense is also suggesting, that donald trump saying they wish to do a change of venue and move this case to west virginia. >> that motion will be denied. and really with this defendant, he's unique in that you can look at election results and get an idea about how every federal district feels about donald trump. it's very interesting, if you look at 2016 and 2020, we've never had that with any other defendant. with that being said, i don't see a judge denying a motion for a change of venue. those are very hard to win yes, this is the most unique

defendant ever but i still think this case stays in d.c maybe this is a defense attorney speaking, but when it comes to saying that this particular judge may be harsh in sentencing, you can make an argument that all federal judges are harsh in sentencing, because the sentencing guidelines call for some pretty stiff penalties for federal crimes that's the way it's always been. >> a programming note, nbc news will bring you live coverage of this afternoon's arraignment on these stations now, what's being called a humanitarian crisis right here in the heart of new york city. hundreds of migrants camping outside a hotel in midtown, manhattan. it's being used as an arrival center for people seeking asylum in the united states nbc's ron allen is right there for us hey, ron, good morning >> reporter: good morning, hoda. this is a huge landmark hotel that had been closed for several years, until a few months ago, when the city reopened it. homeless shelters around the city have reached capacity, the city was struggling to find housing for thousands of migrants arriving every day. now this has become the arrival

center for hundreds. hundreds line the streets every day, many sleeping on the streets overnight, hoping for a chance to apply for housing that will get them off the streets. as communities nationwide are affected by the crisis at the border, in new york, amid the pricey stores and midtown office crowds, these men who say they came here from west africa hope they finally reach the front of the line to apply for shelter. >> i have seven days here. >> seven days you've been sleeping on the street here? >> yeah. >> reporter: the crisis deepening this week with new york mayor's eric adams saying -- >> there is no more room. >> reporter: adams saying that more than 100,000 asylum seekers have arrived at the city's doorstep many bussed from states like texas to new york and other self-proclaimed sanctuary cities the city's city management center gave us rare access to a so-called respite center, what used to be a prison, now temporarily housing migrants we saw dozens of cots lined up, bathrooms, and not much else

this place we're in now, is this adequate >> this is not adequate. you see what's happening at the roosevelt hotel. that's heartbreaking for us. this is something that we have been fighting against for months >> reporter: the transport of migrants just one measure that some border state governors are taking, saying the situation is untenable. >> the biden administration needs to enforce the laws already on the books, that stop people from crossing illegally >> reporter: texas recently installing a barrier of buoys in the rio grande river to deter crossings, a controversial move that some say puts migrants in danger and which the u.s. justice department has opposed overnight, mexico's ministry of foreign affairs saying a body of a dead person has been found stuck in the southern part of the buoys. meanwhile, back in new york, the roosevelt's hundreds of rooms are filled, with priority given to families with children, like this woman who says she arrived here from venezuela 15 days ago. telling us, she's grateful to be off the streets.

city officials say there are plans to create more shelter space, including huge tent-covered facilities that can accommodate as many as a thousand migrants. at the same time, they say, every day, about 500 more asylum seekers come to this city. hoda >> ron allen for us there in the heart of midtown ron, thank you the gunman who stormed a pittsburgh synagogue and killed 11 worshippers in 2018 will be sentenced to death today a federal judge will formally send robert bowers to death row, following yesterday's jury recommendations. the 50-year-old was convicted of the mass shooting at the tree of life synagogue in the heart of pittsburgh's jewish community. before the attack, he voiced hatred of jews and expressed white supremacist views online the victim's family spoke out after the verdict. >> finally, justice has been served and even though nothing will bring my dad back, i feel like a weight has been lifted and i can breathe a sigh of relief >> the shooting is one of the

deadliest acts of anti-semitism in u.s. history. we have a lot to get to, including the return of a familiar but unwelcome trend gas prices are going back up the average for a gallon of regular is now the highest it's been in nine months. nbc's sam brock is in the florida keys with more on that sam, why are the prices going back up? >> hoda, this was not exactly the kind of familiarity that many people wanted right now, and it's the middle of the summer you might think a lot of families are taking vacations and road trips it's got to be the demand that's pushing things up. no if anything, the demand has actually dipped. the reason that we've seen gas prices rise more than a quarter in the last month, the largest contributor right now is oil refineries and how they're affected by these record-breaking temperatures so many of these refineries are located in the south along the gulf coast states like texas and louisiana, optimally, they're designed to function up to 95 degrees fahrenheit, but we've obviously, in the middle of this heat wave we've talked so much about, gone well above that.

that is restrained production. let's give you a snapshot right now of what prices look like nationally the average is $3.82 a gallon. a week ago, hoda, that was $3.71. and a month ago, $3.53 a gallon. so a dramatic difference and as far as the splits nationally, it's more expensive on the west coast in general, especially california, which is the only state above $5 a gallon on the flip side, the cheapest states are in the south. mississippi, alabama, and louisiana, all about $3.30 a gallon, maybe a little bit more than that. in the good news department, look at where we were historically just over a year ago in june of 2022 it was over $5 a gallon nationally so it's a far cry from that at least right now. >> well, sam, how long do you think these gas prices will stay at this height >> reporter: so, that's a big question right now, hoda certainly the hurricane season has a lot to do with that. storms are the biggest threat to take some of these refineries offline. another x-factor in all of this is the production from all the other countries, namely saudi

arabia, which recently decided to scale back about a million barrels a day in terms of its global output. but more good news, because i know we like that. as temperatures come down and the summer wears on and we get into the fall, it's expected to provide some relief at least for drivers. >> sam brock for us in the keys. thank you so much. passengers onboard a delta airline flight landing in atlanta yesterday were forced to evacuate the plane on the tarmac you can see it here. the passengers had to exit down the emergency slide after the plane's tires blew out while touching down around 6:00 last night. the faa says the left main gear tires burst. thankfully, it appears no one was injured. the delta flight originated in richmond, virginia time to talk to our pal, al, and take a look at the weather >> good morning, guys. good morning to you. we have severe weather going on in the middle of the country, flash flood warnings and watches from alabama up into missouri. heavy showers and thunderstorms will be training

trudeau and wife sophie gregoire trudeau writing on instagram, after many meaningful and difficult conversations, we have made the decision to separate. the couple had been a glamorous and prominent globe-trotting duo. their split unusual for a prominent political family, now drawing headlines. gregoire trudeau is a former tv personality and has become a powerful voice for gender equality the two married in 2005 and share three children together. the pair appearing in the pages of "vogue," recounting how they first met as schoolchildren and eventually reconnected at a charity event decades later. soon after, trudeau says he told her, i'm 31 years old and i've been waiting for you for 31 years. even after ascending to the top of canada's political ladder, the prime minister has not shied away from celebrating their love writing on social media several months ago, there's no one i'd rather have by my side >> she was an asset and she was a political partner. now she no longer is >> trudeau has acknowledged ups and downs in their partnership,

coconspirators engaged in what they call a criminal conspiracy, first to try to overturn the results of the election in seven states and then when that failed, to try to pressure mike pence to overturn the election results on january 6th, pressuring him all the way up and through the attack on the capitol itself now, these efforts ultimately led to these four charges against donald trump, which he will be facing today but we likely won't see the former president when he arrives here at the federal courthouse he's expected to arrive and depart from this courthouse through underground entrances and there are no cameras in federal court. overnight, we've seen the security situation ramp up a little bit u.s. marshals and d.c. police adding layers of barricades, k-9 officers and additional police, hoping to avoid anything like the scene we saw outside the courthouse in miami at that arraignment two months ago hoda >> all right garrett haake for us there in d.c. garrett, thank you this morning, the fbi is investigating an oregon man who they say posed as a police officer to kidnap a woman and held her captive in a makeshift

that's really -- any other day, he said, susan, am i in a good theater tonight? things like that and the week before, one of the aides, lovely young ukrainian man, so i was teaching him a little bit tony and stuff, so we were watching youtube and tony was alert enough and he was watching it and he said, was i always popular and i said, yes, sweetheart, you were popular for over 70 years and he said, that's because i stayed with quality. >> stayed with quality >> did he remember you >> he did. thank goodness, yes. absolutely absolutely >> danny, did he remember you, too? >> he did. his last words to me were, "thank you." i can't say it better than that. >> what was the last thing he said to you, susan do you remember? >> that he loved me. he would wake up every day and still say that you know, he woke up happy every day. even if he had had a bad day or night, he didn't remember it that was the only blessing and yeah, he woke up happy, and he was like, susan, you're the best thing that ever happened to me he would say that, all the time.

>> how do you think he, susan, would like to be remembered? >> he didn't want to be remembered as the best, he just really wanted to be remembered as a nice person and i think all the outpouring of love from people that we -- that we know and love and complete strangers has proven that >> yeah, yeah. >> people feel like they've lost a family friend, even if they've never met him. and when he sang, he truly believed what he was singing >> what did you lose the day tony died? >> well, i mean, the obvious thing is, everything i lost my north star but, you know, no reason to feel bad for me, though, because my life has been wonderful. and you know, i'll find a way to make sure it stays that way. it will just be different forever. ♪ and i can smile because of

are you going to go home to see your family? you might want to build in gas money or airfare, and also, laundry. little things that you might not think about. the other thing that will help you with that is apps. there's one called mint. a lot of people are familiar with mint. it will help you look at your bank account and look at the another one is callednd money on another one is called ynab and that stands for you need a budget it follows this zero-based budgeting program where you're giving every single dollar in your bank account a job. this goes towards takeout. this goes towards my savings and the first year is free for college students >> let's talk about essentials there are things every college student needs, books, computers, the works. >> it's just like buying a car a couple days ago we talked about this if you buy a used electronic, a laptop, a computer, a phone. it is going to be a lot more beneficial to you and a lot more budget-friendly. there are the sites you've heard of ebay is one. swapa, back market best buy, amazon, big retailers often have refurbished items

and don't forget about trading in the computer that you have already or the ipad or the phone. cnet recommends something called declutter. and they also recommend an app called, it's worth more. they'll zelle you or venmo the money so you'll get it back very quickly if you're trying to upgrade a device and this is one of my favorite tips, hoda and i.d.me offer discounts for all kinds of people. students, your student i.d. is a gateway to lots of savings >> put that information in and i'll find the savings available. >> exactly i checked. they had deals from samsung, bose, on food, clothing. >> housing is very important usually you think, first year, i'm in the dorms, but then what? so what's your suggestion? >> typically, it is cheaper to live off-campus, but for many first year students, colleges want you on campus it's not even a choice, they require you to live on campus, it's safer, a safer transition, a little bit more controlled environment. but let's say you are going to get to live off-campus, when you start planning for that, don't

forget you're now on the hook for your water, your trash, your electricity, your cable, all of those things your food, your groceries. the good thing is, you can split bills with roommates that's a great way to save on some of those things >> and meal plans are important, because colleges offer them, but kids don't eat all the meals >> exactly >> u.s. news and world reports says that on average, a college meal plan costs around $500 a month for the academic year. it can go a lot higher i would say this ask yourself, what kind of student am i do i wake up every single day and am i planning to have breakfast, lunch, and dinner and stay on campus for a weekend, get the deluxe meal plan but if i'm going to sleep in, not really a breakfast person. i'll go home to hang out with my family get the small plan you can always add on. >> i didn't know you could customize. >> you can, generally. usually, it's pretty flexible and easier to add on than get rid of at the end of the year. this is one of my favorite hacks. there's a website called budget bites. and they teach you how to use things like a coffee maker to make boiled eggs in your dorm room two words for you, hoda.

convection microwave >> what? >> apparently that's the device that you should have in your dorm room. >> i don't know what that is >> exactly look it up >> it's like a convection oven and a microwave in one >> it's like an air fryer and a microwave. you can make all kinds of things >> lastly, does your kid need a credit card? >> if you're going to treat that credit card like cash and pay it off in full every single month, the finance experts would say, yes, get a credit card it will help you build your credit history get a financial, you know, record of what you're doing. also, choose those reward cards so you can earn cash back, earn miles towards something. and what's cool, every month you get a monthly statement. and it tells you, i'm kind of spending a lot on coffee i got a lot of manicures this month. it will give you a picture, a snapshot of how you're spending money which teaches you financial responsibility college 101. >> so good brilliant! all right, guys. over to you. we are catching up with wolfgang van halen >> only on the "today" show do you go from customizing meal plans to rock 'n' roll and we're doing it we'll get a taste, a live

picked three chefs brooke, tiffany, michael, killers in the kitchen and i pit them against one amazing chef from somewhere out there in the country i put $25,000 in cash in the bag. and if they can beat all three of them, they take home the money. >> there's cash in the bag >> there's cash in the bag >> wow, i love this. >> it's just a zipper away >> so this recipe kind of is a throwback to one that's starting -- >> exactly so basically what happens is, in the first round, i give the chef two ingredients. i give them in the premiere episode, honey and pistachios, just to get them going then they can make whatever they want i'll make a dish that's a honey mustard glaze chicken thigh and use the pistachios in a relish chilies, some green herbs like mint and cilantro, so everything green, all in the pool >> you've got a bunch of olives already chopped up >> lots of green olives. a lot of fresh mint and cilantro scallions. >> any herbs you wanted? >> basil will work as well

i like the heat. i'll bring in some jalapenos, beautiful sicilian pistachios. i know you like pistachios >> i do. >> a little olive oil. >> they're the mussels of the nut world. a little lime juice, salt and pepper shake this up. mix this up, and you can do this even a day ahead of time the glaze, honey and mustard it's an oldie but a goody. it absolutely always works you can mix this up for me just very, very simple and then i'm going to use chicken thighs i am a chicken thigh fanatic i just love chicken thighs way more than chicken breast tons of flavor there you go little salt and pepper so we're grilling chicken thighs and want them to get nice and crusty on one. >> boneless skinless >> exactly right and we'll flip this over you're going to give that a glaze. here you go. >> okeydokey >> hi, bobby >> oh, hi. >> how does it taste >> you forgot we were here >> the silent diners
