national security expert, they say fisa is critical to protect americans national security. they say without it, we lose information about threats to the homeland, threats to america's infrastructure, information on russian war crimes, supply chain information, bringing deadly drugs through the u.s. border and much more. the fbi director, he is set to tell congress he is concerned about groups carrying out attacks in the homeland because of the conflict in the middle east. he's also going to urge congress to reauthorize fisa. george? >> george: thank you very much. now to donald trump's legal troubles. another attempt by the former president's legal team to delay his election interference case has been denied. aaron katersky is at the courthouse in lower manhattan. >> reporter: good morning, george. all week former president trump's been trying to scuttle his criminal trial with this haphazard strategy that has his lawyers rushing to this courthouse with emergency appeal for delays, but three times in the last three days, judges here have turned him down.

alex, what do we know at this point? >> his family said he died yesterday. we believe in las vegas where he had been living. it was only a couple weeks ago where he refuted the claims that he was in hospice care, right around the super bowl word had come out that he may have been in hospice care. he put a video on x saying he was feeling fine, going golfing. his impact on southern california and really the world cannot be overstated. going back to his time in the nfl and at usc and the nfl. the infamous trial in the '90s for the double murder of nicole brown simpson and ron goldman. he was acquitted of that. there were a number of years where he was in and out of the for a number of months the hotel room armed robbery case in las vegas. ended up going to prison for that. got out. has been living in las vegas.

his family now saying on x that he has died, diane. >> he became such a national focal point during that trial for the murders of his wife, his ex-wife at the time, and her friend. what legacy does oj simpson leave behind now, so many years later? >> i think depending on how one looks at o.j. simpson. there is the football part of it, the star that he was. the hertz commercial, running through the airport. he was the biggest of the big stars before that trial. and the shock of the trial, there are many americans who will always believe that he committed that double murder. others who believe that he did not. you remember the lines that came out of that "if it does not fit, you must acquit." the impact of that trial for those who were not alive during that time or not old enough to remember it, was incredible. the whole world watching that

trial during that time. the whole world watching tv and listening to the radio, waiting for that verdict to come down. then when it came down, much of america did not agree with it. and then he was sometimes almost comically in and out of the headlines over many years. then to get in trouble again in las vegas, to get back his own memorabilia. he got into the memorabilia trade and selling his items over many years. and then went into retirement, always claiming he was looking for the real killers of nicole brown simpson and ron goalman. there were those saying he wasn't doing enough t he wasn't doing enough to do that if he wasn't involved in the murders. he even went into retirement in florida and nevada and had been relatively quiet the last couple years. >> alex stone, thank you. again, breaking news that o.j. simpson has died. his family said he succumbed to his battle with prostate cancer.

stick to understand teenagers. we wouldn't say infants are deficit toddlers but yet we think of teenagers as not quite adults and we measure them that way. that really affects how we talk to them. >> reporter: author of the break through years reinforces how understanding a teen's brain can help parents guide and interact with teens in a better way and help them understand themselves. this loud emotional space, part of the limbic system becomes much more sensitive during this period. it grows in size. >> emotions are so strong. it felt like i was set in this moment, and it's hard to sort of see the bigger picture. >> reporter: experts say focusing on the brain can reveal passions and pursuits that are most fulfilling, all while honoring those emotions that are the essence of the teen experience. >> this is a time when the highs are really high, but the lows are really low. this is a time when you are just

experiencing everything in a way that people go to movies to feel. >> reporter: actress goldie hawn ceo and founder of mind up says, i have wanted to create a film on adolescent brain because it's important to understand that being a teen is an extraordinary time to be alive. and, guys, what i just loved about this film is it takes a more positive spin and gives teens and their parents the tools to actually take advantage of this unique time in their lives. >> george: how do parents help teens? how do they help them balance independence and structure? >> that's always a struggle. parents are the most important people in their teens' lives. little pressure for us. she also gives us tools to take advantage of this. she says, first, check in on yourself. take pause before responding to a difficult situation. second, consider your child's pointed of view. third, share your expectations and limits. finally, problem solve together and let those moments be a lesson. the teen brain is out monday.

themselves on and off the court. capital. we raised the capital two years ago, $75 million in capital. deploying that to get ready for this moment, quite frankly. maybe we didn't know we were getting ready for this moment. and then expansion is on the rise for us, as well as globalizing the game. really, just, it's all coming together at one time. >> robin: it's the perfect storm, the perfect storm. with the record viewership, how will that translate? how do you want to it translate to the pro game? >> well, i have been reflecting a lot on how it does translate. so when the one thing i learned in sports after coming in from a long career in business is you need household names, rivalries and games of consequence. march madness delivered on all three of those coming off last year's national championship with angel and caitlin, little rivalry. they met in the elite eight this year, then paige and caitlin on the friday night. then obviously undefeated south carolina versus iowa on sunday. there's a lot that translates into our game.

we do have a 40 game season not just a three week tournament. we're already seeing such positive ticket sales and merch. we just put out our broadcast schedule yesterday. everybody is excited about the matchups. that's drawing a lot of attention and lot of eyes to the game. >> robin: we talk about caitlin clark, the caitlin clark effect. angel reese. there are a lot of rookies coming in. this is a very deep draft. is it not? >> really deep draft monday night. camilla cardoso, most outstanding player in the final. she's 6' 7" and really increased her draft stock. rakia jackson. this was, robin, the funnest part of my week is calling these college players and inviting them live in brooklyn for the wnba draft monday night. funnest part of my job because they're so excited and so fresh coming off their seasons.
