2024. breaking news. landmark decision. the supreme court rules former president donald trump has absolute immunity for all official act but not for unofficial act. what do those terms actually mean, our team of legal experts breaks it down. full steam ahead. president biden insists he's staying in the presidential race. how his team is working to calm nerves with democratic voters and big donors. go fourth. a record number of americans are expected to fly for america's birthday, but severe weather is already wreaking havoc at airports nationwide. what you need to know before heading out the door. >> and jaw dropper. new technology in the works designed to stop shark attacks on beachgoers. we're diving in to how it works. thanks so much for starting your week with us. we'll start this hour with that historic decision from the

supreme court today, involving the biggest criminal case former president donald trump is facing. >> we're talking a about the case where trump is charged over his efforts to overturn the 2020 election results. in a 6-3 ruling along ideological lines the conservative majority court agreed that presidents should be immune from facing criminal prosecution over, quote, official acts, while in office. the court did rule that mr. trump wasn't immune for unofficial acts or those that fall out of his quote core constitutional powers. writing that the president is not above the law. >> what counts as an official act by a president and what's an unofficial act? nbc news washington correspondent yamiche alcindor is outside the courthouse. this is a very complicated ruling, what exactly is the court saying in this decision and how does this change things

in the prosecution's case against former president trump? >> reporter: well, this is a complicated but consequential ruling by the supreme court, expanding the power of the presidency as we know it. part of the majority opinion that chief justice wrote, we thus conclude that the president is -- 6-3 split. i want to read part of what justice sotomayor wrote -- now, as you said the unofficial acts are deemed not immune here, that being said, there's a lot here that could impact the indictment of special counsel

jack smith. it says this decision that the president's public statements are likely immune, this could derail jack smith's ability to try to prosecute former president donald trump. >> okay, danny, this issue of presidential immunity goes down to lower courts now, right, what happens next, is there a possibility that after that it ends up back at the supreme court again? >> it could possibly. it goes down to the lower courts and it remanded to them to make the determination of what's official conduct and what's unofficial conduct. donald trump gets presums, the burden is now on the prosecution to disprove that the alleged conduct is not official. and of course if it allowed to appeal trump will certainlycert.

>> former president donald trump, it has implications for other presidents, right, walk us through those. >> exactly right the court had a few options here, it could have limited its decision just to these factses, it could have written a much shorter opinion that would say, hey, we're not deciding the issue of presidential immunity generally, we're just looking at these particular facts and this prosecution can go forward. on these facts president trump doesn't have immunity, but they decided to write as justice gorsuch wrote, a rule for the ages. even this rule will be tricky to implement. you can see right away when this case goes down to the lower court for those determinations, how do you separate official conduct from unofficial conduct. >> yamiche, justice thomas wrote

a concurrent on why he agreed with this decision. he wrote something that could impact a different case against former president donald trump. >> that rights. justice clarence thomas wrote in his concurring opinion, he strongly suggested that the appointment of special counsel jack smith might not even be legal, that's important because it could impact another case in florida that classified documents at mar-a-lago. the judge there, judge canyon can look at that opinion by justice thomas and possibly rule that jack smith's appointment is completely illegal. we'll see what the consequences of this supreme court decision will be. >> thank you both. with the election now just over four months away, today's major supreme court decision is reverberating across the political world.

former president trump wasted no time taking a victory lane on social media, boasting on his truth social platform, quote, big win for our constitution and democracy, proud to be an american. >> the biden campaign blasting the decision by the justices saying in a statement that the former president, quote, thinks he's above the law before hosting a call with january 6th capitol police officers who labeled trump a threat to democracy. it's all come as biden's team spent the weekend in an all-out blitz in public and behind the scenes trying to reassure democrats that biden can still win in november after last week's debate. let's bring in nbc news now anchor hallie jackson. democrats are saying they're worried about what a president can now do in office, republicans are saying the supreme court's decision is a victory, what changes politically in the race for the white house now? >> reporter: in the eyes of democrats, this essentially highlights the stakes at play come november. raises them to a degree given what the supreme court has found today.

you have some real frustration with the court's decision, but also with the court as a whole with former house speaker nancy pelosi suggesting that this now conservative majority court has gone rogue, congresswoman alexandria ocasio cortez may try to file articles of impeachment against some of the justices, at least the chief justice, we asked her office for clarification. that's mostly symbolic, given that the house is controlled by republicans. the deep dissatisfaction by democrats. on the flip side of the aisle, you have republicans of course largely following along party lines falling behind former president trump, with house speaker mike johnson echoing that this is not just a victory for the former president but the rule of law, big picture here, when you look at the court overall, the latest decision, a controversial one that the court has gotten into it, not

surprising given that this is the highest court of the land, but the political lens is an interesting one here. >> the biden campaign would be focused on that, instead they're still responding, recovering from president biden's highly criticized performance at the debate last week. we know that biden was with his family this weekend, talked about the future of his campaign, what do we know what they were talking about? >> reporter: to keep on fighting, according to multiple sources familiar with those conversations, and according to the president's closest confidant herself, the first lady jill biden, who's confirming now in this new interview with vogue magazine, they had done a photo shoot with her, cover shoot previously planned, but followed up again on sunday after everything went down with that debate performance, where she said that the family simply does not want those 90 minutes to define the president's four years in office so far and that the message is that he'll keep fighting.

you're seeing publicly democratic allies really sort of pushing that, right, as the biden team scrambles to try to contain the fallout, relieve a spike in anxiety among democrats privately. from our team's reporting, reporting i've done, there's still a question mark. we've seen a flash poll, a fairly new one coming from cbs/you gov, right after the debate, normally pollsters like to give people a little bit more time to digest, suggesting about 77% of americans think that biden is not fit for office. biden campaign said nothing has moved the needle they've seen so far in the key battlegrounds. if that starts to change, we'll see how things go. right now the posture is to stay the course. not step aside. remarkable that we're even having this conversation in the first place. >> we have 30 seconds, hallie, what are top democratic donors saying? >> reporter: it depends on which ones you talk to, the top biden campaign official had a call with a small group of key donors

just yesterday trying to alleviate some of those concerns, reassure them that the president will stay in and remarkably go through what would be a messy logistics in fact the president would step aside. again, remarkable we're even having that conversation, there's another call later on today with a larger group of donors, kate. >> hallie jackson. >> thanks so much. much more analysis and reporting on today's supreme court decision tonight on hallie jackson now streaming live at 5:00 p.m. eastern on nbc news now. time now for today's money minute. >> once popular company is headed to bankruptcy. the eu is accusing the meta platform the parent company of facebook of violating the european digital market act, meta launched a no-ad

subscription service in europe last year. the eu says that forces people to agree to hand over their personal data or pay to get a less personalized version of the social network in return. and the parent company of redbox, the classic grocery store dvd kiosk filed for bankruptcy. in the court filing, the parent company which is called chicken soup for entertainment, revealed it owes nearly a $1 billion. the redbox owners reveal they owe millions of dollars to over 500 entertainment companies and retailers including sony pictures and walmart. i have to say, i didn't know they were still in existence.

guilt but it said conversely others find the evidence fail to do that. at that point, the judge declared a mistrial. they'll come back later in the month and talk about a status of where they go next on this. but as i say the prosecution wants to do it again. >> what are we hearing from read's attorneys. >> she was very much not like to go through this again. 2022. fast forward two years, again the evidence is voluminous, to make it more streamlined and more understandable for the jury. >> rehema ellis, we appreciate it. outrage is growing after a deadly police shooting of a teenager in upstate new york. 13-year-old mway was shot and

and i said, how can we possibly do this to these amazing animals, kill these animals to make the shoreline more convenient for us to use recreationally? >> reporter: he spent his career working on this, a shark barrier that repels sharks, almost like a force field. it is a big change from current technology. nets and lines with hooks and chains used at beaches off of australia and south africa. what is the problem with nets? >> within a given year roughly 2,500 sharks are killed and removed from the environment. everything that's capable of being caught on those hooks or entangled in those nets typically perishes. >> reporter: encouraging signs, sharks turning away. the design is a mix of both low and high tech, playing off of shark sensitivity to magnets and electricity. >> it is a large visual barrier that extends from shoreline to shoreline.

from sea floor to sea surface. and inside that barrier are a series of electromagnets as a way to selectively repel sharks. >> so it repels sharks, not kills them. >> absolutely. it's non-invasive technology that does not kill sharks. oh, my god! look at that. that is cool! >> reporter: o'connell and his research team tested the barrier last october in cape cod. in this footage, great white sharks turn away. he walked me through the process by setting up a smaller setup here in new york. >> right here, this is going to be the base of the structure. this is going to be against the sea floor. up there, that's up at the sea surface. >> reporter: the pipes are made to compress and stretch to cover both low tide and high tide. and the pipes are white, a visible warning to the sharks. and if they dare to get even a little bit closer -- >> as it activates, it emits an electric field.

that's our third line of defense. >> so it's like a shock. it is an actual electric shocks. >> the entire body will shutter. they will turn away. and it is a deterrent. >> reporter: o'connell's team of volunteers and scientists assembles it in water. the final test for the barrier will be to enclose a full beach. the team travels to cape cod in october. high season for shark migration in the north atlantic. o'connell will enclose a beach for two months to see if it could fend off the big kahuna, great white sharks. >> if we can demonstrate on great whites, it can withstand these big seas. this thing can be deployed pretty much anywhere. controversy surrounding this year's pat tillman service award, typically given to someone connected to sports whose service honors the legacy of pat tillman, who was killed in afghanistan. this year the honoree is prince

okay, red, white and blue all around you because the fourth of july is just a few days away and while many of us may spend the holiday grilling a

good time to take advantage of deals. >> 51% of consumers plan to shop for fourth of july sales this year, half of us, how do you find the best deals? we have zoe with us about what to buy and what to skip. when first of all do these sales start, what product categories should we be looking at. >> sales have already begun, start shopping, start browsing if you haven't already. two main categories we recommend looking at right now, the first is big-ticket home items, big kitchen appliances like your refrigerators. home appliances like washing machines. then, also make sure you look at that summer gear, retailers start to drop prices on what you need to get through that warm weather, air-conditioners, fans, summer clothing, pool gear, now is the time to buy.

>> love that. i'm in the market for an air-conditioner. you also say there are some items that we should skip right now, what do you recommend. >> knowing what to skip is just as important. the first category we don't recommend shopping right now is tech and that's because amazon prime day is about two weeks away and that's when we tend to see some of the best prices on head phones and speakers. smaller kitchen appliances, too. not the best time to back to school shop. wait a little longer to get school-related tech. fall fashion, wait a little bit longer because you'll see better prices towards september. >> wait weeks for the school supplies? >> i'd say a few more weeks, mid-august is usually best. >> any other tips for shoppers as we enter holiday. >> first and foremost make a shopping list, it helps you stay organize, prioritize and helps

you avoid some of those impulse purchases. and comparison shopping. so many retailers offering discounts right now. so shop around. use a buy now, pay later system, use a credit card, sometimes they offer you perks and even look at some loyalty programs because you can get some members discounts. >> make sure you pay later. you mentioned some deals from major retailers, target, walmart, amazon, those are some general summer savings, but that's a little different from savings we might find this week. >> july 4th, this is all about the seasonal theme, this is when you buy those warm-weather goods, amazon and target and walmart, there's no theme there, a time when retailers put so much of their inventory and they discount it, we recommend sticking to some of the tech deals, small kitchen appliances.

some basics on sale, cleaning supplies and paper towels. overall two rounds to shop this month and you get great deals on both occasion and the amazon, the walmart and target do their own weeks. >> yes. they have their own exclusive sales. >> thank you. for more tips on how to maximize your summer savings just scan the qr code on your screen or head to nbcnews.com/select. >> there's much more news ahead. >> gone go anywhere, you're watching "nbc news daily". type 2 diabetes? discover the ozempic® tri-zone. ♪ ♪ i got the power of 3. i lowered my a1c, cv risk, and lost some weight. in studies, the majority of people reached an a1c under 7 and maintained it. i'm under 7. ozempic® lowers the risk of major cardiovascular
