>> thank you, al. now for a legal split screen for former president trump. his federal trial in florida related to classified documents found in his mar-a-lago estate. that trial is on hold indefinitely. here in new york he is on trial when he came face to face with stormy daniels during a day of graphic testimony at his criminal hush money trial. nbc's senior legal correspondent laura jarett watching it for us. laura, good morning. >> reporter: the courtroom was captivated from the moment the people called stormy daniels. her testimony at times graphic, uncomfortable, combative. the judge repeatedly reminding her to keep her answers short, but the details kept coming. former president donald trump finally coming face to face with the woman at the center of his criminal trial, stormy daniels. the adult film actress

recounting in explicit detail, her story of an alleged encounter with mr. trump in 2006, a story he vehemently denies, but would have been catastrophic had it come before the 2016 election, hiding his records to how she was paid off. >> mr. trump, how is it going in there? >> did stormy pay you? >> reporter: daniels speaking quickly, testifying she was invited to a massive hotel suite in lake day hoe, recalling everything from the giant flower arrangement to the pert plus she said was in mr. trump's toiletry kit. he said, you remind me of my daughter because she's smart, beautiful, and people underestimate her as well, and it's there, he said, they had sex after a celebrity golf tournament when she was 27 years old, telling the jury, i blacked out, adding there was an imbalance of power for sure, but i was not threatened. daniels recounting other intimate details, testifying mr.

trump told her that he and his wife, melania, slept in separate beds. the judge agreed some parts of daniels' testimony was probably better off left unsaid. saying, quote, i understand your client is upset but he is cursing audibly and shaking his head visually. i won't tolerate that. the defense request for a mistrial denied on the spot, leading to a heated cross examination as mr. trump's lawyer tried to cast doubt on a story daniels told previously, about an unknown man threatening her in 2011. >> a guy came up to me and said, leave trump alone and looked at my daughter and said, a beautiful little girl. it would be a shame if something happened to her mom. >> mr. trump's attorney questioning her motives now, asking, now, am i correct you hate president trump, to which

daniels quickly replied, yes. >> reporter: new york city's mayor eric adams told reporters yesterday that city officials discussed the eventual possibility of the former president being jailed for violations of his gag order saying the department of corrections is prepared for whatever comes on rikers island, guys. >> let's talk about stormy daniels. how is she coming across to the jury. >> when she starts initially, the jury is directly engaged. they're taking notes. they're following the evidence. but as the testimony sort of went on and as she continued to talk and the judge is interjecting saying please just answer the question, you can see their attention start to wane a bit by the end of the day. >> i see some coverage saying now it is a credibility contest between stormy daniels and donald trump about whether this affair happened. it isn't.charge, but the defense is so much it's totally irrelevant to the charge, isn't it? >> it is totally irrelevant to the legal charge, but the defense did so much with it with cross, i think that's why it has gotten so much attention. they're hammering her about whether she's motivated to lie and about whether she's motivated to make all this up

for money. none of that matters towards the falsification of business records, which is what -- >> it doesn't matter whether she was lying or telling the truth then or yesterday because the case is falsifying business records for a cover-up. >> the alleged cover-up. >> let's talk about the florida case for a bit. it's been delayed. there are many, many rulings pending before this judge. what is the significance of this? >> the significance is he will not go to trial in florida before election day. she's made that all but certain. she's come under scrutiny for sitting on the motions, but she's now citing the number of motions for the reason that the trial cannot happen now. >> all right. laura jarett, thank you. also this morning, new developments tied to the israel-hamas war both in the middle east and here at home, including the pentagon now confirming that it did, in fact, pause a shipment of bombs to israel amid concerns of their potential use in gaza. we have two reports for you this morning, and we start with nbc's raf sanchez.

raf, good morning to you. >> reporter: craig, good morning. we're in one of the communities that was over run by hamas on october 7th. and today it is one of the places praying hardest for a cease-fire deal. there are 36 hostages still being held in gaza. while cease-fire negotiations are continuing in cairo, there are new tensions between the u.s. and israel. this morning president biden sending a message as israel's military continues its operation in rafah, a senior administration official saying the u.s. stepped in to pause a shipment of arms to israel out of concern of a possible invasion. the shipment which was delayed last week included heavy weaponry like 2,000-pound pounds. the u.s. worried they will be used in rafah, where over 1 million civilians are sheltering. the officials saying israel has still not addressed its concerns about a military operation there. >> we will continue to make clear we oppose a major military

operation in rafah, and making that clear to them privately as well as publicly. >> reporter: the rafah crossing from egypt, a vital lifeline for humanitarian aid remains shut and israeli strikes in the area continue. residents sifting through rubble. they said this was a safe area, this man says. there is no safe place in gaza. where to go? throw ourselves in the sea? israel says hamas is hiding among civilians in the area but it's continuing negotiations for the release of hostages. as pressure grows inside israel, the cia director involved in the talks. the latest proposal agreed to by hamas, which would be a full withdrawal from gaza doesn't meet its security needs. but still considering a deal as tensions build over rafah. israel says it is re-opening another crossing into gaza.

at this point no aid trucks have gone through, but the un says it is absolutely critical to get the rafah crossing open to aid once again. at this point, israel has given no timeline for when that might happen. >> raf, thank you. meanwhile, the president used a speech at a holocaust remembrance ceremony to condemn what he calls a ferocious surge of anti-semitism in the country. he weighed in on protests at college campuses nationwide that intensified overnight. liz kreutz joins us from usc, one of many campuses on edge this morning. liz, good morning. >> reporter: hey, savannah. that's right. good morning to you. here at usc, starting today is starting its scaled-back graduation ceremonies and commencements after the major schedule was canceled because of these demonstrations. the university one of so many nationwide dealing with these anti-war protests as administrators try to diffuse tensions with president biden now weighing in. this morning after a major

after the october 7th attacks in israel, the president drawing a hard line at what he says is a ferocious surge in anti-semitism, including in some campuses. >> but there is no place on any campus in america, any place in america for anti-semitism or hate speech or threats of any kind. the jewish community, i want you to know, i see your fear, your hurt, your pain. let me reassure you as your president you're not alone. >> reporter: the campus chaos reaching beyond washington, protesters and police facing off at the university of chicago and overnight at umass. meanwhile at arizona state university -- >> you are disrespecting my religious boundaries. >> what does this have to do with religion? you're spewing hate. >> reporter: they are investigating this minute-long video of faculty member appearing to harass a woman wearing a head scarf sunday. it is unclear what happened immediately before or after that recording was made. asu saying he's been placed on leave pending the outcome of that investigation.

it's called spaving, which means spending more to save more. >> how it works and how to manage it, christine romans. it's as old as "father of the bride" if not more. >> it's the american past time where we justify to ourselves that i can spend more money and somehow saving money. you're not. here are some examples. free shipping for spending a certain amount. the website tells you, oh, but if you buy another thing, you are going to be -- you are going to save $10 in shipping. >> i fall for that all the time. >> yep. buy one, get one. think about that. you only need the first one. you don't need the second one. it has enticed you to spend more money. enticing language and flash sales and emails that say, we saw you browsing for this and there's only six left, get it now. those are all things designed by very smart people to separate you from your money and buy things on impulse. >> well, forgive me, christine, for i have spaved. for years i have spaved. but i think there is probably

something to the algorithms now on different social media sites that really tap into that. but here's the thing. people are doing it now, and they're doing it with the interest rates sky high. >> so this is really dangerous. this is always bad behavior. we should spend money when we need to buy something and save more money than we're spending, right? but when you have interest rates like this, you put it on a credit card, you are talking about 20, 22, 23, 24% interest. these impulse purchases can be dangerous. look at this trend. in 2020, people said they had their impulse purchase was about $183 per month. >> geez. >> by 2022, that jumped to $314. >> it's the algorithms. >> the most recent numbers are down from 2022 because of the interest rates. we're aware if you put it on the credit card, it can be dangerous. >> that's what can get you, they say you can save $100 if you get this credit card, and you are tempted to do it. a lot of people do. let's talk about ways to guard against this. >> sure. okay. so first of all, the algorithms, they're coming after you.

you have to outsmart them. what i like to do is a digital detox for a whole week. 53% of americans bought something online while drinking, so don't drink and browse. >> forgive me, christine. i have spaved while inebriated. >> yeah, also create hurdles. say, i'm going to purchase something on the list or i'm going to only spend this much this week. you used to be able to go and make sure your credit card information wasn't on these websites. but now they're everywhere. you know, it is in your apple pay and google shop. it's already there. just remember, you have got to keep your burn rate less than your earn rate. it is the oldest piece of financial advice there is. you cannot spend more money than you are bringing in. >> that's good advice. >> outsmart them. you have the power! >> yes. thank you, christine. i'll tell you who probably doesn't spav at all, al roker. >> i'm just as guilty. we all are, come on.

al is back with a closer look. >> we're not only worried about tornados but also flooding. we're specifically concerned about southern kentucky on into central, tennessee. that includes nashville. we do have the risk, though, for severe weather for 56 million people, damaging hail, wind gusts of over 75 miles an hour. these straight line winds can do a lot of damage. of and we've got this hatched area from st. louis, bowling green, lexington, a risk of ef-2 or stronger tornadoes, twice as deadly. then for tomorrow, we've got 60 million people at risk from the mid-atlantic all the way into texas, including waco, where we could see some damaging hail, tornadoes possible, more wind gusts. and here's the big problem. heavy rain on top of saturated soil from paduca to knoxville, nashville included. we are really worried about flash flooding. some areas may pick up 5 to 7 inches of rain.

guys? >> all right, al. we'll come back to you in just a moment. meanwhile, the body of a sixth person missing after the baltimore bridge collapse has now been recovered. investigators identified the victim as 37-year-old jose lopez. on march 26th, a container ship lost power and crashed into one of bridge's supporting columns. crews are now working to clear the wreckage so they can reopen the port by the end of the month. now to a dramatic emergency landing. it happened at an airport in istanbul. watch as this fedex plane touches down without its landing gear. landing on its nose and sparks and smoke fly there. thankfully no one was injured and the crew safely evacuated the aircraft. an investigation into why the landing gear failed to open is now underway. tiktok is suing the u.s. government over its efforts to ban the social media app if it does not sell the company in the next year. tiktok's lawyers say that is a violation of the first amendment. this fight may just be getting started. savannah sellers is here with

looking at the law, saying the law regarded less extreme alternatives and it is simply not possible. going on to say, the chinese government has made it clear it would not permit a divestment. lawyers also arguing that tiktok is protected under the first amendment's guarantee of freedom of expression. do you think there is a chance here that tiktok successfully challenges this? >> i think tiktok has a chance, and if they can articulate that their first amendment rights are being denied, then the government may have to show that the legislation was necessary to achieve a compelling interest. that's a really difficult test to satisfy. >> but lawmakers have argued the app is a threat to national security, causing concern over the safety of american data. democratic congressman co-sponsored the bill in the house. >> there is no first amendment right to espionage. there is no first amendment right to harm our national security. the united states government's efforts to work with them over a period of years to mitigate those threats did not work.

we are back with our very beloved series "today's 5 things." it is all about making your life easier. what experts would never do in f their areas of expertise. we will help with the transition from spring to summer. they are ready to share their tips. kicking things off, we have a garden consultant who spreads joy on social media with her blog, plots and pans, cute. >> good morning! >> i love to see the garden's bloom. let's do the first tip. never water your plants without a watering schedule. >> absolutely. you want to water your plants first thing in the morning. like us, your plants need

hydration first thing. so i wake up really, really early during the garden season and make sure i get them watered soon so the sun doesn't have the water evacuate. >> next you say never skip out on pruning. >> never. >> why is that? >> so, so often people think, you know, i want to see the plant grow. i want to see it big. but, really, you are taking away the growth. you are taking away the energy by not pruning. so you want to take away the bottom leaves that aren't really serving a purpose and you will see things get bushy and full. >> how do you know what to prune? like if it looks like it's dying? >> no. they're still alive and green. something like basil. sometimes you see the tall and leggy basil. take the top part of the basil off. >> okay. >> yep. >> this is an interesting one. never throw away seeds. >> no. i love seed saving. so it is my favorite part of gardening. some people don't actually get to taste some of the fruits and vegetables from my garden. so i like to make sure to save my seeds so they can get a piece of my garden later on on their own. okra and peppers, yeah. >> that's a very cute gift. you say never forget to inspect

your plants for bugs. i feel like they're there, but i don't want to deal with them. >> there are good bugs and bad bugs. we love to see bees and earthworms. but then there is aphids we don't want to see. check the bottom of your leaves, the root of the plant just to make sure those bad things aren't there. >> if you see them, take them away. >> absolutely. trash them for whatever. >> you say never grow plants you don't enjoy. what do you mean by that? >> i love cilantro, but i don't love growing it. i'm growing watermelons, hot peppers, things like that. but things i can buy from the store cheaper, i go ahead and buy those. >> okay. so garden what you love. dominique, thank you so much. craig, over to you. >> okay. we got you covered with gardens. now i am here with a travel expert mark ellwood. can't be summer without a

vacation or two. you maintain that you would never travel without travel insurance. that's regardless of where you are going. >> wherever you are going. i think of travel insurance a bit like a parent where you can turn to when things are going wrong. if you have booked your summer trip, don't worry. check whether the credit card includes insurance. it's going to cost you about the same as a fancy coffee per day. go to marketplaces where you can pick what's right for you. >> you say never overlook considering all airports. what do you mean by that? >> think about it. new york has jfk, new york, laguardia. but it also has westchester, stewart. there are nearby airports wherever you are going, so make sure to broaden your search because secondary airports can often have great deals from different carriers. >> so they're not always more expensive? >> nope, not at all. in fact, we will talk about different carriers. >> you say you would never exclude a lessor-known carrier.

>> for example, we have all heard of southwest, delta, whatever. new upstart airlines do interesting routes. there's an airline called breeze calls its the nice -- >> yeah, yeah. >> the nice low cost carrier started by the guy that startedr example. you might find jet blue. it services a lot of the southeast in secondary airports. it has a base in fort myers, for example. you might find you get a great deal on an airline that doesn't spring to mind. >> so you got to do homework. >> yeah. >> all right. never negligent to geotag your luggage. >> think of it like a digital leash. you are putting your luggage on a leash when you let it go. i like the cheaper version, which means you always know where it is. >> this one i find interesting because i always thought there was a best time to book a flight. you say never think there is a magic time to book a flight. >> this is a zombie travel myth that will never day.

there is not a secret day. tuesday is not the best time. otherwise, the sites would crash. get a monitoring service to help you. things like dollar flight club or go to google flights. pick where you are going, when you are going. set an alert. >> folks, you heard it there. mark says no magic time to book that flight, sheinelle. >> i learned something today. let's close out today's five things with home repairs and renovations. we have kevin o'connor of "this old house" and "ask this old house." you say you should never go on the roof. people go on the roofs all the time. >> yeah, i know, and it's a dangerous place to be. roofs can take a beating in the winter from snow and ice dams. so you understand the instinct to want to go up there and look out for a hole. stay off the roof. even on "this old house," we don't go up there without harnesses or scaffolding.

go up to the gutters. the gutters might reveal some damaged shingles and tell you there is more to look at. or step back from the house as far as you can get with binoculars. that might get you a good look at the roof. do you have a drone? i do. leave the chimney flu open. >> it has to be open for fires. now that it is my kids do. you can use that as well. >> there are probably so many injuries we don't have to talk about. next when he says never leave the chimney open. >> it has to be open for fires. now that it is springtime and you don't have the fires going, leaving it open invites pests. get in there, look at it, close it if it's open. >> all right. never paint over -- this is interesting. paint over rot. i think sometimes people don't want to do the work to chip it off. >> it will make it look good,

but it won't solve the problem. rot is like an infection. if you don't stop it, it will spread. dig it out, go back to clean, solid wood. if you have to, fill it with a good outdoor filler. then you can paint and it will stop the problem. >> are you saying never negligent your washing machine hose. i never thought about my washing machine hose. >> no one does. the number one cause of water damage in the house is those hoses breaking. connects your washer to the water supply. their life span is about five years. the insurance companies tell us the average claim for water damage from these is in excess of $10,000. inspect them and just change them out every five years. it is a cheap fix for a lot of piece of mind. >> every five years, okay. last but not least, never wait to line up a contractor. >> never. we are in hot demand. >> it's true. >> nobody wants contractors there during the holidays. if you are thinking of a

renovation, you want to be done by thanksgiving, it could take seven months. it could take you a couple months to find a contractor and then pull plans. >> book them farther out then you need it. >> if you are thinking about getting it done before the end of the year, you're already behind the eight ball. >> thank you to all of our experts today. if you want a full list of spring to summer tips, head to our website. now over to al for the weather. >> i learned that washing machine hose thing a little -- yeah, it was the hard way. make sure you check it out. for today, check out the severe storms we have in the mid-mississippi river valley, ohio river valley. sunny and warm through the gulf. showers here in the north through new england. some rocky snow in the northern rockies. a fire risk west texas into the south and southwest. windconditions but sunny ay lo

>> that's your latest weather. best time of the morning. >> okay. we will start today with cyndi lauper. paramount plus revealed a first look at "let the canary sing." it will highlight your impactful work as an advocate and an activist. >> cyndi just knew what to do. >> she had something to say, and she's going to fight the fight. >> you don't know where you came from. you don't know where you're going. but if you do know what you love, magic. >> okay. >> all right. it starts streams on june 4th on paramount plus.

i think we all know who might be tuned in for this one. any hints? >> i think i know. there she is. there she is. >> i forgot about this one. >> i forgot about it, too. pro >> that was a good one. next up, the acm awards. >> and is that pete brine there, too? >> yes, it is. >> our producer. >> that was a good one. next up, the acm awards. country music added a-list performers to the roster today. first up, gwen stenai and blake shelton. they are set to take the texas stage. noah kahn with kelsea ballerini. new male artist of the year nominee, nate smith will team up with pop punk star, avril lavigne. and then a must-see performance from post malone who recently
