Thank you. Dylan is in for al, watching this ongoing storm threat. Theyve really had a hard time there. Its been really bad. I want tyke you through the next four days. Those are the days were going to see some severe storms. The next two days, well lower the threat of tornadoes, but as we go into saturday and sunday, well increase the threat of tornadoes again. We do have some thunderstorms moving through just west of knoxville, but its the second round of storms that were going to see later on this afternoon that could produce large hail and also damaging winds. But we have a lot of cloudtoground lightning approaching little rock, heavier downpours, too, but in this area that includes omaha, nebraska, where we could see 2inch diameter sized hail, thats baseballsized hail and wind gusts up to 75 miles per hour.

I come from savannah, 25 miles out of macon, dead stop, bumpertobumper. Reporter this year, aaa says road tripping is how americans are choosing to travel, with a potential recordbreaking 38. 4 million expected to hit the roads on thursday or friday. In terms of road trips, those are really booming. And that gives people just more flexibility. The National Gas Price average is at 3. 61, about the same as where it was this time last year, and a price point many travelers say is reasonable if they want to head out of town. The Biden Administration announcing this week it would release a Million Barrels of gas from a reserve to drive those prices down even further, but its unlikely to make a big difference this weekend. It goes up, it comes down, its not a factor for us. Not outrageousoutrageous, but definitely noticeably higher. Reporter if you do plan to travel by car, experts say the best time to do it is early on thursday or friday, and try to avoid returning home on sunday or monday during afternoon hours.

They are saying that all service has been restored and back on schedule in the region, at least so far. Hoda . All right, like to end on the good news there. Priya, thank you so much. Also this morning, calls are growing louder for Supreme Court Justice Alito to recuse himself from any cases related to january 6th. This comes after another image has surfaced, showing a second controversial flag on display at one of his properties. Nbcs senior washington correspondent, hallie jacksons got the story this morning. Hallie, good morning. Reporter hey, savannah, good morning. We are seeing a fresh chorus of criticism from democrats this morning. And it comes as the Supreme Court is set to decide key cases this term, related to the Capitol Attack and election interference, including whether former President Trump is immune from prosecution, for trying to overturn the results of the 2020 election. Reporter another Supreme Court controversy this morning, involving Justice Samuel alito, over a new report of a flag flying outside of his new jersey beach house, according to the new york times. The socalled appeal to heaven flag, a green pine tree on a white background. A symbol carried by some rioters outside the capitol on january 6th. You see it here and here. Photographs it obtained from outside of alitos property from last summer, along with accounts from a halfdozen neighbors and passersby, as well as this google street view picture from last august. The flag, rooted in the revolutionary war, has more recently become a symbol of support for Christian Nationalism and for donald trump. But now, renewed calls from the democratic chair of the Senate Judiciary committee for alito to recuse himself from cases related to the 2020 election, calling the incident yet another example of apparent ethical misconduct. Other democrats agree. At a very minimum, he has to recuse himself from these cases now coming before the court that will determine whether or not trump is held accountable. It really encapsulates all of the problems weve had with this rogue Supreme Court and its refusal to accept any rule of law. Reporter its the second time in less than a week alito has faced questions, after the justice confirmed another provocative flag, an upside down american flag, flew outside of his Northern Virginia home in the days after january 6th, telling the times, i had no involvement whatsoever in the flying of the flag and that it was briefly placed by his wife in response to a neighbors use of objectionable and personally insulting language on yard signs. The upside down flag, long considered a distress signal, but its been adopted by some Trump Supporters backing the former president s Election Fraud lies. Some republicans after that report dismissing calls for recusal. I dont think that he should be recused. I think it was a mistake. But ill leave it up to him to explain it. We should note that Justice Alito did not respond to the times request for comment and the court did not respond to nbc news, savannah. Another note from 2024, Donald Trumps former rival, nikki haley, who was fiercely critical of him, has now, essentially, endorsed said shell vote for donald trump. What do you know about that . Its a huge shift, savannah. Shes coming out now, publicly saying that she will vote for the former president this fall. Very different from how she described him during the primaries just a few months ago, when she was running against him. Thats when she called him unstable and unhinged. She said, hes not qualified for the office. That he cannot win a general election. That he didnt deserve a drivers license, much less the white house, after he jabbed at her husbands military service, but now she says shes making this decision because, in her words, while donald trump is not perfect, President Biden, she believes, has been a catastrophe. She also hopes the former president does some outreach to her supporters rather than just assume that theyll fall in line behind him now. Savannah . Okay. Hallie jackson, thank you so much. 7 13. A lot more to get to. Craig joins the table. Hoda, savannah, good morning. Good morning to you, as well. The Uvalde School shooting, one of the deadliest in u. S. History is back in the spotlight this morning.

The 500 million suit naming 92 texas dps officers, the school district, and staff. Including the thenschool District Police chief, Peter Arredondo as defendants. These were the last lines of defense for these children. But they were failed long before the shooting. Reporter more than 300 officers from local, state, and federal agencies were on scene that day. But they waited more than 70 minutes before taking down the gunman. The district acknowledging the lawsuit, sharing its open to exploring a resolution. The suit following a stunning doj report in january, which found cascading failures of leadership, tactics, and training. Body cam footage inside the school shows officers fumbling with keys, hesitating to move in, and waiting in hallways, as children were killed inside classrooms. Following the dojs report, i spoke to belinda ediola, who still wonders if her 10yearold granddaughter could have survived . They had the opportunity to go in and they didnt. Reporter the family said they have also agreed to a 2 million settlement with the city, which has pledged to work with the department of justice to develop enhanced training for police. This has been an unbearable two years. Reporter now, xavier, who lost his 9yearold daughter, jacqueline, is hoping this marks the start of a new chapter. Weve been let down so many times, the time has come to do the right thing. Reporter now, the Texas Department of Public Safety has not returned nbc news request for comment. Back in 2022, arredondo did defend the Police Response to that shooting. Meanwhile, the city of uvalde has now agreed to mark may 24th, the day of the shooting, as a day of remembrance. Craig . All right. Morgan chesky for us this morning. Morgan, thank you.

This morning, as millions of americans make their plans to attend concerts this summer, reports of a bombshell new lawsuit that could reshape the music industry. The Justice Department and a group of states plan to sue concert giant live nation, which owns ticketmaster. The doj plans to allege the company has used its monopoly power to suppress competition, according to people familiar with the matter who spoke to the wall street journal. The lawsuit would seek changes to the companys business practices, including by asking a judge to effectively undo the 2010 merger of live nation and ticketmaster, which according to the wall street journal. In 2019, the Justice Department found that they were pressuring venues to use ticketmaster and the government plans to challenge exclusive ticketing contracts that ticketmaster has with major venues, the journal reports. Live nation has also faced backlash for some time over high ticket fees, but the Company Pushing back earlier this year with a top leader writing with that the company is subject to low demand and high supply, saying that promoters dont set prices, artists do.

Reporter live nation responding at the time. We apologize to the fans, we apologize to miss swift. We need to do better. So we reached out overnight to both the Justice Department and live nation, and have not received comment from both. You mentioned that this antitrust lawsuit would seek some changes to their business practices. Sure. Do we know what kind of changes . What would be included . Look, this company, which was a merger from 2010, right . This Company Controls everything from the beginning to the end of the process, right . So concert promotion, ticketing, even the artist management, it owns and controls the venues and the festivals, the festival sites, hundreds and hundreds of them around the world. So it really its a pipeline here that the Justice Department, anywhere, along the way could say, look, we want you to allow some competition in other parts of this business. All right.

Nbcs emilie ikeda is here with no relationship to taylor swift. In this story. I know. Surprising. If youre not hungry yet, you will be now. Wendys launched its National Breakfast menu back in 2020 and its doubling down on the most important meal of the day, reintroducing a lowcost bundle for your mornings just after mcdonalds announced the new value meal for lunch and dinner time. An english muffin and seasoned potatoes for just three bucks. Reporter theres a new fast food meal bundle on the market, aimed at budgetminded consumers.

Wendys news just a week after mcdonalds said it will introduce a limited edition 5 value menu at the end of june. The move after the golden arches ceo told investors in april consumers are being more discriminating in spending and thats putting pressure on quickservice restaurants. Restaurants have to get people back in their stores. The best way to do that, sometimes, is to offer them some kind of value. Particularly given the way inflation has hurt a lot of u. S. Consumers. Only 5 bucks whooper jr. S time two reporter from burger king to taco bell and pizza hut, menu meal deals are coming in hot. Starting at 6. 99, its the ultimate solo deal. Reporter as National Chains look to bring back customers left with the sour taste from fast food inflation. People are paying an arm and a leg to order food for their family at fast food. Reporter more budgetconscious americans are cooking their burger and fries at home instead of going to the drivethru. One survey says, 30 of consumers say they will not try a restaurant without a coupon or discount offer. The price of food away from home up more than 4 over the past year. Fast food has completely lost its value. This is outrageous. Look at the prices reporter with foot traffic slowing, Fast Food Companies need a hook to get consumers in the doors or through the drivethru. Now its not just about the better burger, but the lowest price. People really want prices to be cheaper at fast food chains.

She was diagnosed with a terrible disease and at one point she wondered if she was going to make it, whether she was going to live through it, and she talks about what its done to her voice and the possibility of a comeback. Weve missed her and it was a very emotional interview. And well see where she is in her journey of coming back. But i know people are cheering her on. She sang a little for you, too. She did.

Then we go into saturday and sunday, and were going to reup the chance of a tornado outbreak.

Final preparations are in full swing this morning as the city of paris gets ready to host the olympic games, which, oh, by the way, start in just 64 days. But it comes at a challenging moment for the world, with wars raging in both ukraine and gaza, french president Emmanuel Macron sat down for an exclusive and wideranging interview with cnbcs andrew ross sorkin, who joins us now from paris. Andrew, good morning. Craig, good morning to you. I sat down here in paris with president macron, as he met with some of the biggest leaders in Artificial Intelligence and technology, and we talked about a lot of things, jobs, inequality, geopolitics, but then the conversation turned to the olympics, just 56 days from now. And i asked him about his efforts to try to create what looks like a temporary truce between russia and ukraine during the summer games. Look, a truce is not for me the end game. Sustainable peace is the end game. I think its very important, first, this is a tradition. And its very important to use this window during a tradition to have a truce during during the olympic games. And i think that this is a very good opportunity, first, diplomatic, precisely, to engage with china and others. Okay, you are on the peace side. Get with us and help us to do so. And second, to maximize the level of pressure on those who decided to launch a war. And this is why, i think this is a big clarification moment. Because over week until now, president putin was claiming to be available for peace. So today we enter in realtime, money time for peace, okay, are you ready to start the 26th of july, the 12th of august . No, im not ready. To everybody in the world, it is clear, he is the one who launched this war and not ready to make peace. Part of putins objection to a truce during the olympics relates to decision by the ioc to disallow russian athletes to participate in team sports. But folks, this is not a story thats going away any time soon, craig. And were going to watch it play out. There is an ancient tradition starting back in ancient greece to have a truce during the olympics. So well see what happens. Yes, we will. Andrew ross sorkin for us in paris. And you can hear more of andrews conversation with french president Emmanuel Macron coming up tonight, 8 00 eastern on cnbc. All right, an update now on a story weve been following all week.

We are very honored to have admiral Lisa Franchetti, chief history becoming the first woman ever to lead the u of Naval Operations joining us this morning. Just months ago, she made history becoming the first woman ever to lead the u. S. Navy and the first female member of the joint chiefs of staff. Well talk to the admiral in a moment, but first, a look back at her remarkable journey. For nearly four decades, admiral Lisa Franchetti has been a trailblazer in the u. S. Navy. Good morning charting her own course since 1985, when she completed the naval rotc program at northwestern university. At the time, there was only one female admiral. There was even a law that barred women from serving on combat ships. But that never stopped the young recruit from setting her sights far beyond the horizon. Once the ban was lifted in 1993, she quickly rose through the ranks and redefined what was possible for women in the navy. Shed go on to lead at every level, commanding destroyers, Carrier Strike groups, and the entire u. S. Sixth fleet, where she faced some of americas biggest adversaries at sea. Her path has taken her around the world, from asia to africa and now all the way to the pentagon. Last year, President Biden nominated the fourstar admiral to lead the navy, and after a Senate Confirmation hearing it has been the honor of my lifetime to command at every level of our navy. She was officially sworn in as the new chief of Naval Operations in november. Congratulations. Becoming the first woman ever to assume the navys top position, and the first female member of the joint chiefs of staff. Her historymaking career all mode possible through the support of her family, including her husband, jim, and her daughter, isabel. Jim and isabel, thank you for your inspiration every day. I always say that families are the glue that holds our navy together, and i know in my case, that glue is extra strong. Reporter admiral franchettis dedication to service now inspiring the next generation. When youre young, you think your life is going to be like i95, but our life really is more like the potomac. Its windy, it has lots of turns, but if you know what you want to do and you have your eyes open to all the possibilities that you can achieve all those things that you want to do in your own life. Admiral franchetti, good morning. Good morning. Its such an honor to have you here. Good morning. Its wonderful to be here today with you. We just saw you rise through the ranks, your remarkable career, but lets go back to where it really started. You were the coxwain of a rowing team, all male, rowing boat back in the day. We have the picture. There you were. So it was a little bit of foreshadowing. It definitely was. When i was back at northwestern, i was a journalism major, i wanted to be you one day. And across a chance meeting with some rotc students really got me on the path of write am today. But the rowing team, it definitely was. Because, you know, as a coxwain, youre responsible for training with your boat, leading your boat, building a great team and motivating them through a lot of adversity. I think they liked you. Is i think a big fan. When you walked in this morning, you couldnt help but watched when you walked by and were high fiving all the members of the military that were outside. It is fleet week. Do you just stop for a second and reflect where you started back in the day and where you are today. I definitely do. First, its an honor to lead our amazing team. We have about 600,000 active and reserve sailors and civilians. And they are an incredible americas warfighting navy. And i never thought i could have done this job. In fact, when i joined the navy, there were a lot of laws in place that really didnt allow women to serve in combatant positions that would enable me to get to this job one day. I was just fortunate, always in the right place at the right time with the right different experiences that when the laws changed and policy changed, i was able to walk right through those doors and move on, really to command a destroyer and a lot of other things along the way. What was it . Because it was a mans job back then. Well, until you had it, it was a mans job, and rising through the ranks. Did you encounter resistance . And you know, do you remember any of that and how you handled it . Well, i would say, really, only at the very, very beginning of my career, when women were first serving on ships, it was new. And people werent used to that idea. Not everybody was a fan of it back then. But when i fast forward now, you know, 38 years later, women are serving everywhere in our navy. We have women on submarines, you can be a pilot. I just met one of our blue angels thats a woman. So theres really nothing that you cant do. How did you deal with it back in the day . Weve all come through. There was a certain period of time where were like, we have to have our suit of armor on. We have to push your athrough. How did you deal with those times . When i was younger, i saw this quote from admiral nimitz that says, learn all you can, do your best, and dont worry about what you cant control. And if you focus on getting all of the experiences, staying positive, Everything Else will stay into place. Your job now is about naval readiness around the world. What keeps you up at night . Whats your number one concern . Well, im always concerned about our people, you know, we can have great platforms, we can have all the best equipment and everything in the world, but without those amazing people, that operate it, really, our navy doesnt go anywhere, do anything. Im worried about our folks all the time. Im worried about their quality of life, their families, but im making sure that they have all the training they need to be able to do our Mission Every single day. Recruitment is a big issue, the navy set some goals, didnt meet them last year. Now youve raised those goals even higher. So here is your molt. Whats your pitch for a life in the navy as you have lived . The navy provides an incredible amount of opportunities. We have about 150 different specialties that you can be in. I just created a new robotic rating. We have cyber warriors, work in a hospital, be a nuclear engineer, drive ships like me, serve on submarines and really serve all around the world. I think, our navy, a lot of people dont get to see it. Maybe we have a little sea blindness. If you dont live near the navy, you dont know what we do, but were deployed all around the world. We preserve the peace, were ready to respond in a crisis, and if necessary, win decisively in war. I couldnt be more proud of that team. We have people operating in the western pacific right now, with one Carrier Strike group. We have another one going around south america right now. And of course, we have the uss eisenhower Carrier Strike group with her ships leading operation prosperity guardian in the red sea to protect the free flow of commerce. And your navy is out there every day protecting your way of life and i couldnt be more proud of team. Were so happy you came to see us today, admiral. Thank you so much. We appreciate it. Thanks for fleet week. Well have a great time here. Stick around. Your Navy Band Northeast is with us this morning. Weve been enjoying them all morning long and will in a moment, but right now, we have dylan with a check of the forecast.

But on the west coast, lots of sunshine, highs in the0s and 70s. 6 and if youre running out the door, remember to find us on sirius xm channel 108. All right. If mr. Roker were here love the navy.

Not sure if he has a new record coming out. But well keep an eye out for that and that official announcement. And then bernie is like, i shouldnt have said something . Sorry. Up next, the brat pack, a new documentary is set to explore the group of hollywood stars who landed that nickname back in the 80s thanks to a new York Magazine headline. For the project, Angie Mccarthy called on members of his former click to talk about how they thought about donny the brat title. I hated the brat pack for decades. What a [ bleep ] disaster. If you could have the brat pack name not exist, would you . Hmm. It really irritated me. They said, whats more why did we take it as an offense . Because theyre calling us brat. Important, the movie or your life, and i said, the movie why did we take it as an offense . Because theyre calling us brat. Because we were young. Thats right, we were brats thats taking us back.

The first big animated movie i got was the lego movie, and that really was so fun and i just i love it. Its a great its i feel very blessed. Its a job that i can wear my pajamas to work and i can sleep in my own bed at night, so its a real blessing. You know, they said they thought about you for this movie before they thought about anybody. They actually used your voice when they were animating it, trying to make sure that this was the right fit. Yeah, our director had been working on this film because animation is going to take maybe four, five years to make this movie, they had been working on it for a couple of years, and he said, ive just imagined your voice coming out of this characters mouth the whole time. And i was like, i know how to do that voice. Yeah, you do. That i can do. So whats going on in the booth with you . How are you acting . What are you thinking about . Whats going on . Hmm, the process of an actor, where do i begin. No, you know, its just me, i flip my hat around, take my shoes off. And then i talk, and im telling you, this is important stuff. Give it. I talk. I say the words. And then its garfield talking. Listen, i dont know i dont even know how i do it. You dont even know. Yeah. Your kids first of all, your youngest just turned 2. Thats right. How is that possible . You just had the baby. I know, last week. How old is your older daughter . 3 1 2. And jacks 11. So, well talk about jack in a second, but how is it being a girl dad . Talk about that. I love it. I love it. What do you love . I love that oh. For theyre so sweet. Just recently for her for eloises birthday, i had a couple of these garfield plushies laying around. Here you go girls. You always want to give two presents to kids on their young birthday because you dont have to have the freakout. So i brought two garfield plushies, one has really big wide eyes and one is more the sarcastic, classic garfield eyes. And i said, well, eloise, you get to pick. And eloise picked the big, bright eyes, and of course, lila cried, because i call lila bright eyes, and shes like, but im bright eyes, and eloise is so sweet, she said thats okay. And she traded. The second child always does that kind of stuff. Shell work that out in therapy later on. Im sure. I never got the bright eyes. But, yeah. I really admire your relationship with katherine, too. Its just like a beautiful love story. Im lucky. Im a lucky man. She is great. She is fantastic. Such a devoted mom, just a wonderful person. Shes shes given me and jack so much. Yeah, were grateful to have her. And i would imagine that you get incredible advice from maria. It must be kind of cool to have her in your life. Like, what does she mean to you guys . Maria . Yeah. Oh, my gosh, shes like a living saint. I feel that. And shes shes funny and accessible and brilliant. Shes so involved in the lives of her children. Shes raised four she and arnold raised four amazing kids. And thats not always an easy thing to do. You see people in hollywood or people who have got like a lot of privilege and they end up raising kind of rotten kids. So i just want to ask her everything. Whatd you do . How did you not spoil them. How did you not ruin them . Does she ever say . Yeah, she does. She holds them accountable. When maria walks in the room, you stand up. Shes big on manners and shes big on accountability. And shes deeply rooted in her faith. And these are all things that i definitely want to take and implement in the rearing of our. Children. Well, i feel like youre such a great dad and a great husband. Ahh. But youre also just a lot of fun. You seem laidback, but i have a weird feeling youre kind of a perfectionist, is that right . My motto is perfect is good enough. Thats just how you roll. No, im not a perfectionist. I like 80 20. Dont settle for good enough 80 of the time. 80 of the time, get it as right as you can. And then periodically, you have to cut yourself some slack. And did you manifest this career . Did you always believe like one day, this would be you . Did you imagine this . I i always had belief in myself, yeah. I think that ive been driven, and you know, we didnt grow up with a whole lot. We have a lot of love and a lot of laughs, but other than that, didnt really have a pot to piss in. So i was a dreamer and i never had a plan b. Ill tell you that. Thats how you did it . Yeah, i knew what i wanted, i went after it, and you know, theres a certain level of luck thats involved and opportunities have to present themselves, but once those opportunities were brought to me, i hit them full force. You sure did. Its been an amazing 20plusyear career. Its going to be a lot longer than that, too. Lets go. I cant wait to take my kids to see garfield. Its going to be fun.
