is a factor. this one. not not this weekend. hopefully it actually gets repaved. okay, that's part of your route i know. yeah. so we're going to see temperatures in the upper 60s and low 70s for the weekend. actually it won't get repaved. it's going to get resurfaced. so instead of pavement there will be concrete. so that should be better. but we'll see. there's your alternate to southbound 680. and remember we still have that closure for westbound 37 as well. your alternate in orange up and over. so carrie is going to be even smoother than usual. absolutely the today show is just ahead. we are continuing today in the bay on roku and other platforms starting at 9 or 8. i should say a pay gap for women in technology. we're talking about that. plus, scott mcgrew breaks down all the business and tech for the day. donald trump's fate before the highest court in the land. >> with a question for the ages. can he or any president be prosecuted for their actions? it's april 26th.

this is "today." high stakes. the supreme court hears arguments over donald trump's claim that presidents should be immune from criminal charges. the justice us divided. >> presidents have to make a lot of tough decisions. >> i'm trying to understand what the disincentive is from turning the oval office into a, you know, the seat of criminal activity in this country. >> the federal election before november. but, in new york, it is full speed ahead in trump's hush money trial, the latest this morning. missing spring. millions of americans waking up to freeze or frost alerts this interference case now hanging in the balance, looking much less likely to go to trial before november. but in new york, it is full speed ahead in trump's hush money trial, the latest this morning. missing spring. millions of americans waking up to freeze or frost alerts this morning with unseasonably chilly temperatures across the northeast. and in the midwest, potential hail, high winds and tornadoes as we head into the weekend. al is tracking it all. campus chaos. pro-palestinian chaos leading to more arrests overnight and

dramatic measures on college campuses including graduation canceled at usc. can others be next? >> even if they have to cancel every single commencement, that's up to them. >> we will have the latest. harvey weinstein's 2020 rape conviction overturned. his accusers outraged. >> this is an act of institutional betrayal. >> will there be another trial? will the disgraced movie mogul walk free? we'll go inside the case. plus, breakdown behind the wheel. gisele bündchen pulled over by police. that emotional exchange straight ahead. plus, all about the qb. >> caleb williams. jayden daniels.

drake maye. j.j. mccarthy. >> a record-breaking six quarterbacks taken in the first round of the nfl draft as dreamed come true for players and fans and commissioners alike. today, friday, april 26, 2024. from nbc news, this is "today" with savannah guthrie and hoda kotb. from studio 1a in rockefeller plaza. hi, everybody. good morning. welcome to "today." we got there. it's friday morning, and it feels very, very good. >> how about those bear hugs? six quarterbacks. it was their night. always exciting. we'll have more on that in just a bit. >> dreams coming true. but we begin this morning with those two court cases taking place at the supreme court in washington at the manhattan criminal courthouse here in new york. first, whether former president trump should be immune from criminal prosecution in his federal election interference case.

the court indicating yesterday any interference trial is unlikely to take place before the election in november. the hush money trial continues no new york with a key witness for the prosecution expected to take the stand again for the fourth day of questioning. laura jarett is here with the latest on all of this. good morning. we don't know exactly how the court will rule when it comes to mr. trump's case in washington or even when. one thing the justices are in total agreement on, how they answer this question, whether the former president is immune from prosecution or not has enormous implications. as one justice said thursday, we are writing a rule for the ages. this morning the criminal case against donald trump for trying to reverse the last election on the rocks. the government aiming to show mr. trump cannot be immune for federal charges for his actions leading up to january 6th simply because he was still president at the time. the conservative justices skeptical justices don't need

some protection. >> he's subject to the criminal laws just like anybody else. >> but, still, the justices were mostly unpersuaded that mr. trump should be completely immune. >> i'm trying to understand what the disincentive is from turning the oval office into, you know, the seat of criminal activity in >> reporter: pressing his lawyer. >> if the president decides that his rival is a corrupt person, and he orders th this country. >> pressing his lawyer. >> if the president decides that his rival is a corrupt person and he orders the military or orders someone to assassinate him, is that within his official acts for which he can get immunity. >> it could depend on the hypothetical. >> jack smith brought conspiracy and obstruction charges against mr. trump last year, but the

case has been dogged down in appeals, telling the justices that the former president's actions would lead to dark consequences. >> his novel theory would immunize presidents for bribery, treason, sedition, murder and here conspireing to use fraud to overturn the results of an election. >> the ultimate result in the case likely turning on the line between actions taken for personal gain and a president's official duties. >> if you don't have immunity, you are not going to do anything. you are going to become a ceremonial president. you are not going to take any of the risks, both good and bad. >> none of this stopping mr. trump's current trial in manhattan. tabloid mogul david pecker expected back on the stand today after telling the jury thursday how his company purchased the story of karen mcdougal. another woman that alleged an affair with mr. trump before the election, admitting i wanted to protect my company, i wanted to

protect myself and i wanted also to protect donald trump. pecker testifying that while in the white house, mr. trump asked him about mcdougal, saying, quote, how's our girl, to which pecker replayed, she was quiet. >> listening to the argument yesterday, the justices of every ideological stripe didn't see all that interested or persuaded by what trump is arguing in his particular case, that he should be totally immune. >> that's right. but they're very concerned about what their ruling here means for the future. >> yeah. they're worried the political rivaling will keep coming after each other. they think there should be some limited immunity. the question is who will draw those lines? how will you decide that? the reality is it means the case is likely headed back down to the trial court. that's a win for him strategically because it means a delay and it cannot possibly go to trial before november.

>> in essence, it's a win if this goes after the election for those hoping that somehow a criminal conviction might affect his political fortunes. >> yes. he wins the long-term war, which is to delay, even if he loses this short-term battle in front of the supreme court. >> meanwhile, the hush money trial continues. that is a state case about conduct that precedes his name in office. so that goes forward. >> all this compelling testimony that we've heard from pecker, i think people are finding juicy. but, remember, the actual crime is about falsifying business records. i think on cross-examination today, you will see the defense team try to play that out. >> all right. we'll see how it develops, laura. thank you very much. let's move to the volatile scenes playing out over the israel hamas war. with tensions rising and graduation just days away, some schools are taking major steps, even canceling ceremonies and

celebrations. emilie ikeda is outside columbia university with the latest. good morning. >> reporter: hey there, hoda. good morning to you. there are more than 40 protest encampments set up. security ramping up controls. i can tell you you have to have a student id to even gain access to the campus as tensions flair over the israel-hamas war and, remember, with graduation fast approaching. from new york to california and illinois to d.c., demonstrations over the violence in the middle east are spreading across more college campuses just ahead of graduation as tensions flair and arrests soar into the hundreds. at emory university, heavily armed officers deployed pepper balls to break up protesters who place say threw bottles, even tasing one person resisting arrest. faculty members joining the

protests. >> call the office and tell him i'm been arrested. >> reporter: more confrontations at ohio state. after chaotic clashes at the university of southern california, the school canceling its main commencement ceremony just two weeks away. >> i don't understand. specifically, why are we afraid? >> reporter: the university says it won't have time to process the estimated 65,000 guests with its new safety measures in place. the unprecedented move comes after usc already nixed the graduation speech of its pro palestinian valedictorian due to safety commencements. but what protesters are defending as free speech, some jewish students call hate speech. >> freedom of speech is very important and i'm for that. but there is a point where the university itself has a duty to protect all of its students,

including the jewish ones. >> reporter: and overnight, columbia university ramping up security as counter protests from outside groups marched near campus. demonstrators clashing on campus. the clock is ticking on negotiations with students on site of the encampment. but with no clear deadline from the university. >> i'm absolutely worried. i think it will change the university forever.ens at the us in the nypd, it's going to change the university forever. >> reporter: and it does appear columbia university is still preparing to hold its graduation scheduled to happen in less than three weeks, walking around campus you'll see stacks of chairs, signs, bleachers, but many of the students i talked to are doubtful it will actually happen. a sore point for some, part of a class that graduated high school four years ago in 2020, that also cancelled by the pandemic. >> all right, emilie ikeda at

columbia, thank you. turning to severe spring storms putting nearly 20 million americans at ris million americans at risk for possible hail, tornadoes and high winds this morning. al is tracking it all. what happened to spring? >> this is a very spring-like situation unfortunately. we are watching this area of showers. 18 million people at risk for especially strong storms. tornadoes possible and a wide area of possible tennis ball sized hail from omaha all the way down to dallas. we move into tonight, on to tomorrow. system rolls into the plains. also heavy snow developing in the rockies as well. we've got a risk, enhanced risk for golf ball sized hail, damaging winds. again, strong tornadoes. tomorrow will probably be the worst day of this. we haven't seen an ef-5 tornado in about 11 years, and we could see one tomorrow in this area. plus, we've got two-inch hail at risk from ames, iowa, all the way down to dallas. then we move into sunday.

relentless storms continue over the plains. strong storms from des moines all the way down to dallas, but all the way to chicago. tulsa, oklahoma down to wichita falls and north of dallas. 2 to 3 inches per hour. some of these totals could reach 4 to 5 inches or more. back through the rockies, we're talking about up to two feet of snow as well. >> al, thank you. we will check back in a minute with the full forecast. turning now to a stunning decision that caught a lot of people off guard yesterday. new york's highest court throwing out former hollywood mogul harvey weinstein's 2020 rape conviction. the court finding serious flaws in his trial, which, of course, was a milestone in the me too movement. kate snow is here with more on the reasons behind that ruling and how it could have an impact.

>> the fact that the justices on new york's court of appeals were split 4-3 on this division tells you they were divided. but they say its division was grounded on bedrock principals of evidence. for years, weinstein's attorneys argued the trial court should not have let women testify who weren't directly involved in the charges at hand. the appeals court essentially agreed and said the only remedy now would be a new trial. for the more than 100 accusers of harvey weinstein, the new york appeals court decision to overturn his conviction hit hard. >> my first reaction was a total visceral one. my hands were shaking so much. >> reporter: actor ashley judd speaking out. >> this is an act of institutional betrayal. >> reporter: weinstein was charged with crimes in new york of three women and convicted in 2020 of rape and sexual assault. that trial also included

testimony from three other women that made allegations that never led to charges. a majority of the court of appeals concluding the trial court made egregious errors. dawn was one of the three other women. she says she doesn't regret testifying. i'm a stronger person for having done so. i urged the district attorney to retry this case. >> and on your left. >> reporter: weinstein was once at the top of hollywood.s arres 20 in 2017 "the new york times" uncovered decades of allegations involving sexual misconduct. when he was arrested back in 2018, savannah sat down with oscar-winning actress mira sorvino. >> how does that feel? >> it's him finally facing real, real consequences for his criminal behavior. so for that, i feel gratified. >> it was the start of the #metoo movement. now worried this is a major setback. >> i worry that sets a precedent, but we will keep

fighting. >> reporter: weinstein's attorneys applauded the decision. >> you can't throw out 100 years of legal precedence because someone is unpopular. >> all right. so what's next in this case? >> so the manhattan district attorney said they will do everything in their power to retry this case. he remains right now in a prison in up state new york. he will be moved, weinstein, somewhere closer to new york city so he could have access to his attorneys. don't forget that he also has a case going on in california. he was convicted of rape there and sentenced to 16 years in california. his attorney in l.a. says the new york decision will have significant impact on his appeal in california. >> which is interesting. i think more as a practical

matter. they're making some of the same types of arguments in california. although, in that case, california law, different court, different judges. >> right. but his attorney in l.a. definitely thinks what happened in new york is going to have a bearing on what happens in california because they may argue it was the same kind of situation where other people were brought in to talk about prior situations, and that might not hold. >> yeah. >> all right. thank you, kate. >> craig joins us now. good morning. >> good morning. good morning to you as well. investigators in southern california are trying to figure out what started a massive fire at a historic pier for the city of oceanside. it started yesterday. this was the scene just after 3:00 in the afternoon. a huge plume of quick gray smoke quickly filled the air. firefighters battling those claims from the ground. thankfully no reports of injuries in california. at this point, there is still no word on what may have sparked that blaze. playoffs, and what a night for philadelphia's joel embiid, scoring a playoff career high 50 points against the knicks.

trump for plotting to overturn the 2020 election appears headed for another setback. after nearly three hours of argument at the supreme court, most justices appearing skeptical that mr. trump should be completely immune for federal charges or acts he took while still in the white house. though, some conservatives seem to struggle with the idea that no immunity exists for the president at all, arguing it could lead to political rivaling coming after one another. it seems likely they will send it back to the lower court, which will help mr. trump's strategy of ensuring that case does not get to a jury before the november election. but meanwhile, the case that is in front of a jury here in manhattan, david pecker back on the witness stand. he's the former publisher of the "national enquirer." he's been painting a vivid story of how he helped to cover up damaging stories that could hurt mr. trump's 2016 election

chances. trump's lawyers now likely to allege that he can't speak to the crimes that has been alleged. prosecutors saying the former president falsified his business records, which of course he denied. >> laura, thank you. a programming note. this week on "meet the press," kristin sits down with mitch mcconnell, tim kane and ruby bridges. it is all coming up this sunday on "meet the press.." let's move on now to the rising tensions on college campuses. protests over the war in gaza growing overnight, leaving one university to cancel its graduation ceremony. emilie ikeda is outside columbia university with the latest this morning. >> reporter: hoda, good morning to you. overnight, we saw more arrests, a number that soared into the hundreds in recent days as demonstrations continue to spread across more college campuses. there have been more than 40 protest encampments directed at schools since the one here at columbia university. at times those clashes between

protesters and police have turned volatile. at emory university, police use a major decision, making the shocking decision to cancel its main commencement ceremony. they made that decision because it wouldn't be able to handle the 65,000 guests with security measures in place. now many people are wondering, students and families alike, if other schools will follow suit with graduation season set to ramp up in the next several weeks. here at columbia university, security had been ramped up overnight because of clashing protests. it seems like these efforts, there are no signs of them slowing as negotiations continue between the university and students, hoda. >> all right. emilie ikeda for us there. thank you. a huge settlement has been reached in a privacy case involving those ring security cameras. the federal trade commission is

sending more than $5.6 million in new funds to consumers as part of a settlement with the amazon-owned company. the agency says ring allegedly used customer's private video footage to train algorithms without their consent. the company was also charged with implementing key security measures which enabled hackers to take control of accounts, cameras and videos. the next time you fly on southwest airlines, the boarding process could look different. the airline is considering changes. southwest, of course, is well known and loved for its first come first seated boarding policy. but the airline is looking to drive up revenue. and for the first time is weighing a more traditional seating model. no final decision has been announced yet. if you are wondering, don't worry, southwest has checked bags.

>> oh, absolutely. >> what drives you? >> at the end of the day, my name is attached to what i'm doing. so i'm working at walmart at the deli, but it still represents me, which represents other people. >> we saw who he gets that positivity from. >> this is my mom. >> when his friends and family, even former coaches -- >> high school track coach, yes. >> heard he was in town, they showed up. they all showed up. >> you know these people? >> this is my dad right here. >> and this is grand dad. yes. >> you have a big cheer squad here. a lot of folks love dylan. and dylan would love to take that cheer quad with him all the way to eugene, oregon to the olympic trials. but his squad runs deep. thanks to our friends at walmart, they have decided to give you $20,000 for all these folks to be able to go cheer you

culture bias that this is clearly a female issue or problem. >> it look anthony three years before he finally agreed to get tested. >> he's like, you have enough sperm. it is just 98% of your sperm is abnormal. so you are going to have to try to have a child another way. >> the results were even more stark. >> i'm looking at the section that said sperm count, and there was an na, like not applicable and there was a big zero next to it. >> male factor infertility usually comes in two forms. >> a problem or an inability to make sperm to begin with, so a production-related issue. or a broader delivery problem. >> how much shock do you see in couples when it turns out that the issue lies on the male side? >> it can be as devastating as telling someone they have cancer. >> i didn't feel human.

i didn't feel like a man, actually. >> you feel like what is the point of building a company and hoping one day your child will run the company. and, you know, thinking about teaching your kid how to play sports or play an instrument. all of a sudden, none of that applied to me anymore. >> it meant going under the knife in hopes of finding some. >> when you first heard of a testicular microdissection, what did you think. >> it sounded not as bad as when i googled it. when i googled it, i was like, whoa, what is this? >> if healthy sperm was isolated, it could be directly implanted into an egg. how difficult was it to know that you were healthy and you might have to undergo this procedure you were really not interested in having. >> yeah. there were nights i was in the bathroom crying. those tests, it was very, very tough. >> after countless shots, she got to share the good news.

she was pregnant. >> i was at the barbershop. she sent me a text message. >> anthony jr. is now two years old. >> his surgery with dr. shin turned out to be a success. >> my first happiest moment was even knowing that i could have a child. >> they now have 6-year-old gabriella. >> well, i spoil her pretty bad. >> forgets the word no. >> both couples sharing their stories, aiming to breakthrough the stigma surrounding male infertility. if you could turn back time, would you get that test sooner? >> yeah, yeah. i would do it immediately. i would do it immediately. >> when you look now at your son, is there so much gratitude? >> yeah. sometimes my mom is like, put him down. mom, you don't understand. i can't. >> definitely cherish him. >> a lot of men might be overwhelmed by the tests. that's no substitute for a visit

to the doctor. but i will point out, as the couples did, it is quite a lot more comfortable than the type of tests that women have to undergo to do this. >> by the way, the fact these women thought something was wrong with them, so they go through this rigorous, all these things they have to go to to find out it wasn't them at all. >> that was one of the things that shocked me is women are undergoing hormonal therapies, procedures they don't need. that is why they're not getting pregnant. it is because their partner is not tested. and doctors aren't bringing them into the equation soon enough. >> that's a good story. straight ahead, guys, the most common cleaning mistakes in the kitchen, the bathroom, the living room and of course we'll show you how to fix them just in time for your spring refresh. but, first, this is "today" on

back now with "today home."

did you know that you could de-scum a shower curtain liner in the washing machine? and there is a fact right there. there is a right way to load the dishwasher. is that the case? we will go room by room showing you how to tackle house mistakes. jessica is here with all the answers. i love when you guys study things because i know they're right. so i'm happy that you're here. all right. let's talk about loading the dishwasher. couples always say i do it this way, you do it that way. is there a right way to do it? >> yes. it is so divisive in so many houses. you're right. let's start with the silverware. forks, times go up so they get the best clean. spoons, alternate up and down. and knives blade down. >> simple, simple. what about plates? how do they go in? >> plates, face the dirtiest plates inward. you want to face it where the spray is the strongest. bowls, you want them to cascade. i know it is tempting to stack them like this. you want it like this so water can reach everything. >> what about cups?

>> a lot of people are tempted to balance the cups over times. that could lead to stretching. you want to lean them against it like this. >> do you scrape and rinse all your dishes before you put it on or just stick them in with dirt on them? >> you don't have to pre-rinse your dishes. it doesn't make the clean any more effective. it's incredible and blew my mind. >> now for pods. >> yes. >> you stick these where? >> a lot of people are tempted to toss the pods into the machine. the detergent compartment exists for a reason.

just want to pop it in, close it. and then if you don't do that and you do throw it into the machine, it will all get rinsed away. >> all right. good, good. let's get to the bathroom. >> let's move on. >> wiping down counters. you have the wipes. is that good enough? >> a quick wipe actually won't do. >> okay. >> most of us will just wipe the surface, think it's good. >> yeah, good enough. >> really it needs to be wet for the disinfectant to work. that takes anywhere from 3 to 10 minutes. >> wait, what? >> so you need to keep wiping and wiping and wiping according to the manufacturer's label. >> what should you do instead? >> or you can just keep wiping with multiple wipes or use another spray that fits your lifestyle, sure. >> this one i find interesting. the shower curtain that gets gunky and moldy that you just buy from cvs. >> i have a well loved one here. tossing this would be a waste of money, not to great for the environment. you can toss this right into your washing machine.

>> oh, you can? >> uh-huh. new life. >> what is the cycle? what do you do? >> throw this in on a gentle cycle using detergent, breach, old towels and then hang it up for a fresh life. that before and after blows my mind. >> it is all gunky. >> look at how fresh it is after. that's just one cycle. >> even with these magnets in the shower curtain, it is cool to throw it in the washer and you let it dry by letting it hang. >> you're right. for the environment, why are we throwing it away. >> they're not too expensive, but we want to be conscious. >> let's clean some windows. >> okay. if you are cleaning your windows on a sunny day, you are mistaken. so if you are spraying down your windows in the sunlight, the sun will actually dry the cleaner on to the window with the dirt and create streaking. >> so do it on a cloudy day. >> do it on a cloudy day. overcast days are your best days for cleaning. >> what is the best to use? >> glass cleaner. make sure you are dusting your windows before. otherwise, you will make mud on your window.

>> what type of cloth do you like to use? >> microfiber. >> al said using a newspaper is fine. >> well, that's al's way, and i won't knock it. >> okay. how do we get a stain out on the carpet? >> okay. a lot of people are tempted to douse this coffee stain we just made with cleaner, but that is a mistake because you can end up damaging your fabric. instead, you want to spray the cloth directly with the cleaner. sorry about that. >> that's okay. >> and dab and stain. >> and then what? >> and then you can use a second cloth. >> okay. >> like this. i mean, you will repeat the process. yeah, moving out of here. >> jessica, thank you so much. we appreciate it. coming up, we are so excited. a new song. you may know the 21-year-old for her acoustic cover of this hit that blew up on tiktok. this is "today" on nbc.
