Announcer from nbc news, this is today with matt lauer and savannah guthrie, live from good morning, everybody. Welcome to today. Its president s day, monday morning. Carson day ly is in for matt.

Well also talk about all of this with republican president ial hopeful jeb bush live in a moment. Lets begin with pete williams, who is at the court this morning. Good morning to you. Savannah, good morning. Its been more than 50 years since the Supreme Court was in this position, facing the busiest part of the term without all nine justices. That cast a big shadow of prepares to take up some of the most controversial cases. Reporter draped in an american flag, the body of Antonin Scalia arrived in virginia late sunday night. The death from an apparent heart attack was a month shy of his 80th birthday at this west texas guest ranch. He was in the company of friends before dying in his sleep in his room. Found himself in a very congenial group. He was surrounded by admirerers of him and his work. Reporter the other reagan appointee said scalia will be remembered for his brilliance. The Supreme Court split, five conservatives and four liberals. With eight justices, it raises the possibility of a 44 tie. A tie leaves the Lower Court Ruling in tact, a victory for whoever won in the lower court. Among the big cases this term, a tie would maintain tough new texas restrictions on abortion. States to pass similar laws. A 44 vote would leave the legal hold in place on president obamas plan to let 5 million undocumented migrants stay it. It would head off an effort to weaken unions representing public employees, including teachers. If president obama put scalias successor on the court, it would mean a liberal majority. Its never been so clear that the balance of power ied ideologically is affected. Reporter two on the washington, d. C. Court, and a judge in california. Well soon know the funeral arrangements for Justice Scalia. If the family wishes, he could lie in repose in the great hall of the Supreme Court building, just inside the bronze doors at an honor last given to william renquist. Justice scalias death has set off a political battle. Peter alexander has that part of the story. Good morning. Good morning to you. The Court Vacancy is reframing the 2016 campaign. This is now the rarest of president ial elections. One where control of the white house, congress and now the Supreme Court are all in play. In a moment of silence for Justice Scalia. Reporter the moment of silence for Justice Scalia lasted a moment before the political pileon began. We ought to make the 2016 election a referendum on the Supreme Court. I think the real plan for it would be Somebody Just like Justice Scalia. Reporter the now empty seat upping the ante in an already fierce battle for the white house. There is no way the senate should confirm someone that barack obama tries to appoint in his last year in office. Leader Mitch Mcconnell arguing it should not be filled until we have a new president. With 11 months left in his term, president obama insists he will nominate a new justice and expects the senate to consider his choice fairly. These are responsibilities i take seriously, as should everyone. Theyre bigger than any one party. They are about our democracy. Reporter if the president sees the third justice, that could give the court its first liberal majority in 40 years. Ted cruz who once was a law clerk vowed to block any obama nominee. Were add vise ing e ing a lame duck couldnt tip the court. Reporter this ad highlights whats at stake. Marriage, civil liberty, were one Supreme Court justice away from losing them all. Reporter fiery feuds in the republican field. They lie. Liar, liar, liar. Reporter saturday nights debate, the most combative so far. Between donald trump and jeb bush. Obviously, the war in iraq was a big, fat mistake. It took jeb bush, if you remember, at the beginning of his announcement, when he announced for president , took him five days, he went back. It wasnt a mistake. Wasnt a mistake. Took him five days before his people told him what to say. On this president s day, former president george w. Bush will campaign alongside his brother here for the first time. After that dispute with donald trump this weekend, jeb bush said that trump is no longer invited. In fact, the two men didnt even shake hands after the debate. Savannah . Peter alexander, thank you so much. Republican president ial hopeful governor jeb bush is with us now. Good to see you. Good morning, savannah. I want to make sure i understand your position on this. Senator mcconnell of the Republican Leadership suggests a nominee put forward by president obama would not get a vote. That it wouldnt come up in the some of your rivals, namely, ted cruz and marco rubio, seem to support that approach. Where do you come down on it . Do you think a nominee of the president should come for an up or down vote in the senate this year . Its up to Mitch Mcconnell in the senate. Im not a senate and not running for the United States senate. If hes going to take that path, i respect that. What shouldnt happen is in an Election Year, a president in a very divisive kind of time, should nominate someone and have it be passed. There shouldnt be deference to the executive, is my point. Is that a cope out, saying its up to senator mcconnell . Shouldnt you take a position . I am taking a position. If there is an up or down vote, it should be rejected based on the history of how president obama selects judges. If there is no vote, its fine, too. What im saying is there shouldnt be an Obama Justice shouldnt be appointed in an Election Year. The election process. Theres a lot riding on this. The second amendment, religious freedom and other causes important for this country will be determined by this pick. For those saying that there shouldnt be an up or down vote, and i understand youre not necessarily one of them, are they on weak constitutional ground . In other words, you said the other night, youre an article ii guy. It makes clear the president nominates, is senate advices and consents. It doesnt say, except in an Election Year. The president has the right to nominate. That was my point in the debate. The senate has the right to carry out the rules. My point is, irrespective of that, there should not be an appointment based on the record of president obamas selection of judges. Theyre way out of the mainstream. This should be an important point that we have in the election. Im more than happy to litigate that. Even though im not a lawyer, im happy to litigate the constitutionality of this case. President bush, george w. Bush, will be on the trail with you this morning. Hes made a point to stay out of the political race since he stepped out of office. Was it a hard decision to make . This will be the first time hes gotten involved, and i respect the fact that he has been out of the political fray. Its a good tradition. Like president clinton, i guess, supporting his spouse, and, you know, he wants to help his brother. I dont have a problem with that at all. Im proud of his service. Im proud of my familys service. Im running for president based on my own merits but the fact hes supporting me will add to the primary in South Carolina, for sure. You say youre your own man, but donald trump said it was your brother who, according to trump, lied about weapons of mass destruction. He said 9 11 happened on your brothers watch, so didnt keep us safe. And he added there was an economic collapse at the end of the election of barack obama. I guess the question is, by having your brother out on the trail, does this kind of invite that relit litigation of the past . Its interesting that donald trump praises putin and attacks my brother. I think in a South Carolina primary, thats probably the wrong place to be. Did your brother give you any advice for dealing with someone like donald trump . I dont think my brother ever had any experience with dealing with a person like donald trump. Hes a bully and you have to stand up. Im the only guy standing up against him. Hes hijacking the conservative cause by running as a republican. Theres nothing in his past that would suggest he is a republican. I think its important to stand up to him. Do it respectfully, do it with civility, but you cannot allow a bully to take over this party. Governor jeb bush, well be watching today. Thank you for your time this morning. Appreciate it. You bet.

Well meet two of the ground makers coming up. First, lets get a check of the mornings top stories. Natalie . Good morning. Flags today at federal buildings are flying at halfstaff on this president s day. Two days after the death of Supreme Court justice Antonin Scalia. His death leaves a key vacancy on the Supreme Court. Pete williams is at the supreme good morning. Natalie, good morning to you. The body of Justice Scalia arrived overnight, draped in an american flag. It came from texas, where he died over the weekend of an apparent heart attack. We dont yet know the funeral arrangements, but if the family wishes, he could lie in repose at the great hall of the Supreme Court building. For now, president obama says he will nominate a successor, but the republicans say that decision should be made by the next president. The court itself is in its midwinter break. The justices return to the bench in a week. For the first time in 50 years, theyll face the busiest part of the term without all nine justices. That raises the prospect that some of the most controversial cases could be decided by a 44 tie, which would be the same as no decision at all. This is a time of uncertainty, both politically and for the court. Natalie . Pete williams at the Supreme Court for us. Thank you, pete. The death of Justice Scalia sent shock waves through the some republicans including cruz and rubio want the next president to be the one to pick the next justice. Earlier on today, former Florida Governor jeb bush weighed in when he spoke to savannah. If there is an up or down vote, it should be rejected based on the history of how president obama selects judges. If theres no vote, thats fine, too. What im saying is there shouldnt be an Obama Justice should not be apoint pointed in an Election Year. Theres a lot riding on this. Governor bushs brother, former president george w. Bush, will join him on the campaign trail today. Democrat Hillary Clinton says its outrageous some of the campaign trail are talking about blocking any Supreme Court nominee named by president obama. She says the president has a responsibility to nominate a new justice and the senate has a responsibility to vote. Her challenger, Bernie Sanders, agrees that president obama should name the successor, saying in his words, lets get a Virgin Atlantic flight from london to new york was forced to turn back sunday after a dangerous incident in midair. It happened when someone on the ground aimed a laser into the cockpit, leaving the copilot feeling unwell. We have a medical issue with one of the pilots after a laser incident after take off. Were going to return. Officials are looking for whomever aimed the laser. There was an incredible sight over the weekend off the coast of florida. Professor from Florida Atlantic university shot this video. You see there, it shows tens of thousands of sharks off palm beach. All those dots you see down there, those are sharks migrating to warmer waters. This shark is relatively harmless, so they say. The professor hopes to tag some of them to learn more about the way they migrate. Hopefully they migrate off the coast, away from swimmers. Back to savannah and carson. Natalie, thanks so much. Sports illustrated swimsuit edition is out today and its ground breaking. Oh, yes. It features three cover models, putting body image back in the spotlight in a whole new way.

Why was it important to you to highlight the three different women . I think its a very, very timely moment that were having right now. People are very aware of all the beauty in the world. Sports illustrated is certainly one of the publications. Traveling to every country in the world, practically every continent, i see beauty in all shapes, sizes, forms, everything. It was time to highlight that and bring it to the world. How did you find out . Literally on tnt, on the show. They said, you got the cover. I thought it was three finalists. You didnt know .

I write this to you, my brothers, while still 53 million in personal debt. Pray we overcome. This is my true heart. If that wasnt bizarre enough, last night, kanye reached out to Facebook Ceo Mark Zuckerberg for help. Saying, i know its your birthday but can you call me by tomorrow . One of the coolest things you could ever do is to help me in my time of need. Kanye revealed in an interview last year that with the launch of his yeezy fashion line, it left him 16 million in debt. A side note to the story, it is not Mark Zuckerbergs birthday. Just putting that out there. Okay. Im so confused. He invested his own money. Usually when you start a clothing line, you have investors. Thats his argument there. It is very good, but theres this current now. You have a great trend of his, and he wrote a lot of songs and said that he needs some help. He also who trusts what kanye writes . He could why would you say that though . I dont know. The things that come out why would you tweet that out . There are a lot of nations that are bankrupt and need money. I dont understand it. I dont understand, is it a help .

To star trek fans, William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy will be captain kirk and spock. William shatner wrote, leonard. William is here this morning. Glad to be here. This book is a love letter to Leonard Nimoy, isnt it . It is. I loved leonard. We were like brothers. On the general term friendship, how do you make friends, what are friends worth, what is the definition of a friend, and how difficult it seems to me for men to make friends. So how cherished a singular male friend should be. Women, for some reason, and it more easily than men, it seems to e me. You write in the book that you didnt initially hit it off as personal friends. Well, theres life is never perfect. No, we had some disagreements to begin with. And in the end. But in between was a brotherhood. I loved it. I thought there was an irony. You write that at first, the star trek conventions, all that that happened after the show, you both were kind of like not sure you wanted to be a part of all that. But it was through doing those appearances that you really bonded. Not as much during the show, but after, that you became close. Thats exactly right. So many shows, i notice for example, you had friends on earlier earlier, thats extraordinary, for people to remain friends after the show has been is over. Usually, youre the best friends whatever the show is, and then when the show is over, stage, film, series, you say, ill see you tomorrow, and you dont because life takes you apart. In many cases, you never see each other again. In this case, fate threw us together with all these appearances. And the films we did. We became very close. You were very different, werent you . Well, they say your cells change every seven years, so thats a lot of changing going on. You were honest in the book because toward the end of his life, you write that you two had a falling out. Youre very honest about it. You say in a certain sense, youre still not really sure what that was all about. Thats true. I have no idea why. I sought to find out why and couldnt. So he i thought whatever it was would blow over and hed i would try to make amends or find common ground. But he died before that could happen. What do you think hed think of this book . Well, this is about how i cherished my relationship with him and how i miss him. Theres no substitute. And theres another thing, and that is when you lose someone you care for, and youve had experiences together, those experiences that you had together no longer have validation. Because the other person is saying, remember when, and you havent anybody to say that with. The experiences themselves disappear. Thats really the reason for the book. You miss him . Yes. 50 years since star trek, can you believe it . Incredible. This is the anniversary. Will it be hard to go through the year and people remembering without your friend . Yes. We had the best time on stage with each other. Communicated more on stage, at times, than we did in person. William shatner, good to have you here. Thank you so much. Glad to be here. The book is called leonard. Up next, is your email inbox out of control . Digital clutter. First, this is today on take a mountain of beads, an ocean of screaming fans, boatloads of shrimp, an ice cold cocacola, and youve got floridas biggest party. Universal orlando is mardi gras.

Plus fun in both universal theme parks. So grab an annual pass and catch all the fun of were back at 8 40. How many unread emails do you have . I dont want to say. There seems to be two distinct groups here. People who have too many emails to count or the ones who keep the number at zero. Either way, you could probably use a digital declutterer. Heres more from nbcs joe fryer. Reporter like a good cup of usually filled to the brim. I have 2,254 unread emails. Reporter just ask anyone sitting in a coffee shop. 3,158 unread emails. It looks a lot worse. Reporter all that clutter used to pile up on our desks. Now, its clogging up phones and computers, wasting our time. Email has the ability to suck our will to live. Reporter professional organizer beth knows that well. When people come to you with their overflowing email boxes, i mean, do they feel a sense of hopelessness . People come to me very overwhelmed and frustrated. They dont know what to do but they want a way out of it. Reporter her company, bneato bar, offers services on digital clutter, including naked inbox. What is this email . Reporter she tells clients to first take a sample of their email. Just like going through our physical stuff, were going to start at the top and work our way down. She suggests using an app called unroll. Me, which unsubscribes from messages you dont want and combines your favorite subscriptions into one email delivered daily. From there, its easy to focus on incoming emails. If you can respond to a message in less than two minutes, go ahead. If you cant, put it in a special todo folder. These are the things youre going to tackle today. We want to get the email out of the inbox. Reporter once youve dealt with an email, delete it or archive it. Is the goal to have a zero email mailbox . Maybe for a split second. Were always going to get more. Reporter here comes the hard part. She says to try to check your email less often. No more than five times a day. It can take 16 minutes to refocus after dealing with an email. That stat showed 28 of our work week is spent reading and writing emails. If we are constantly in our getting any good work done. Reporter photos are another form of digital clutter, sucking up all the storage in our phones. She recommends using Google Photos or dropbox to store and organize pics in the cloud. You can also dump some of the phone apps. Research says we only use 27 apps a month, but have far more on our devices. I think i actually have three or four todo lists, organizing apps on my phone, none of which i use. Let those go, absolutely. Reporter this might sound daunting. You wish it was zero but who has the time . Reporter she says its not hopeless. Take baby steps. This is going to be your new life. Why rush it and burn out . Lets take our time. Reporter consider it a home ec lesson, sweeping away the digital clutter in your life. For today, joe fryer, nbc news, los angeles. I just erased six apps during that. You did . I was inspired. Impressive. Its a start, carson. Im good without the apps. Were terrible. We need help. How many do you have . 77,000 and i have 11,000. You make me feel better. Work on that, ladies.

The hottest games and toys every kid is going to want, coming up right now. Announcer from nbc news, this is todays take with al roker, natalie morales, willie geist and tamron hall, live from studio 1a in rockefeller plaza. Monday morning, president s day, february 15th, 2016. Its why we have a huge crowd out there. Im al along with natalie and tamron. Willie is off. Natalies jam, blank space by taylor swift, who will probably be one of the big winners at tonights grammys. Shes nominated for seven. Kendrick lamar for 11. Grammys are tonight. Itll be a good one. Record of the year nominees, really love, deangelo. Uptown funk, of course. Mark ronson featuring bruno mars. Thinking out loud, ed sheeran. Blank space, taylor swift. Cant feel my face, the weekend. Kendrick lamar, 11 nominations. Record of the year rewards the song performance. What do you think . Its a tough one. I like uptown funk. I think itll possibly win the year, maybe taylor swift. Itll be kendrick lamar. Really . Its the social commentary. Theyre both brilliant, i love it. It seems like the songs have been around longer than i know. Ive listened to them over and over again. When you look at the list of songs, its like such an imprint in our minds. You probably know every lyric. Itll be a good night. Adele is not there because of the calendar year. The album didnt come out in time for the nomination. Itll be a hot night. A lot of people talking about the feud with kanye and taylor swift, kind of rekindled a little bit, right . So kanye has a new song out. He performed some of it on snl. Very strange performances on snl. One of his songs references save s s taylor swift. It refers to her in the he claims he got permission from her. He told her about the song. I find that hard to believe. I dont believe it. You dont have to because taylor says its not true. She says she never gave permission. Her girl squad, ruby rose, gigi hadid, theyve all gone after kanye west for the lyric. Kanye says hes 53 million in debt. He tweeted it out after his snl performance. He said he invested his money for the personal debt. Hes reached out to Mark Zuckerberg on his birth birthday. Which is not his birthday. Squg asking for money. Might want to put the touch on Ryan Reynolds. Go down rich guys and ask for money. That is something else. I dont feel bad for kanye. The film starring Ryan Reynolds expected to earn 150 million. Incredible. Fourday weekend. Biggest rrated opening ever. Biggest february opening. Beating last years 50 shades of gray by more than 40 million. Biggest opening for firsttime director, beating out our pal to lizbeth ban elizabeth banks. We had the cast and crew on last week. Theyre spectacular and deserve the success theyre having. In the movie, he jokes about, could this be a franchise . I think yes. I think so, but i also think itll be interesting to see what marvel now does with this. You know, the superhero genre is usually for families and kids. This shows you, there is an audience that wants to see it taken up a notch. It took Ryan Reynolds 11 years to get this made. He wanted to be true to the source, comic book material. Deadpool is this wisecracking, whats the super power . I saw the ads. He can heal himself. Hes got enhanced athletic abilities. You have to see it. Its hilarious. I want to see it, definitely. Apparently, everybody else saw it. Get right to the theater. Last night, the baftas, the british film awards made history. Leo dicaprio, a big winner for the revenant. But they had a kiss cam set up. The host was steven fry. Apparently, he took a moment to thank america for the many gifts weve given the world. Foam fingers, leaf blowers and the kiss cam. Who do we have here . Oh, yes its maggie smith and leonardo dicaprio. Thats a marriage made in heaven if there one were. Julianne moore and bryan cranston. Whoa they need to bring a kiss cam to the oscars. Here. This is a workplace. Come on. Hr today, of course, president s day, waiting patiently in the wings. We have a celebrity guest with us, a television president. Hail to the chief.

It stays right in the middle of the thats your latest weather. A lot of us probably started doing our taxes already. Targeted by criminals posing as the irs trying to steal our money and more. Today National Investigative correspondent jeff rossen is here with a warning of two of the biggest scams and what we need to know to protect yourselves. Good morning. How are you . Two key areas, what are they . Email. A lot of people, including people on our staff here, so its happening to a lot of people and im getting emails on facebook, as well, that people are getting these emails, supposedly from the irs, saying they owe money and thats one of them. Around. This one promises a tax refund. Youll get an official looking email like this. Look at the bolded section. You are eligible to receive a tax refund of 63. 80 to access the form, click here. You click on that email and, again, 63. 80, seems possibly legitimate. Not like we owe you 10,000. Its enough where a lot of americans will fill it out and try to get the 63. Bank information so they can wire you can money. The scammers join your account. Whats your red flag . The irs will never, ever ask you for personal information or Financial Information over an email. The only time theyre ever going to email you is if you already have an ongoing case. The irs will always contact you the first time through regular mail. Youll only get emails if youre already involved with them. Email. No. Via text or anything else . If you hear from the irs over social media, it is a scam. Theyll never contact you over social media or text. What about phones . We understand that is a phone call scam going on. Aggressive. This is where they really pound you on the fact that you owe money. Theyre going to stick the police after you. Actually, one of our senior producers at the today show, her daughter got a call. This is officer from internal ref venue services. We have been trying to reach you. This call is an official final notice call from Internal Revenue services. The reason that the call has come in for you that we have filed a lawsuit against you. For more information, call immediately our department. Call immediately our department. What is that, yoda . Oh, money, you do. You probably panic when you hear lawsuits. That. People say, id never fall for it, but thousands of victims every year. From people that way. Does the irs initiate calls like that . The irs will call you, again, if youre already involved with one of their agents on an ongoing case. Youd know youre dealing with the irs and they ever never ask for personal information. If you get a call, go on our website on today. Com. We have all the phone numbers to report this back to the irs or you should report it if you get one of these . Dont delete it or anything. Hang up immediately and never give information, but report it so they can go after the people. You also say we should note the irs is in the process of implementing legislation that will allow federal officials to make calls for back taxes. Maybe in the future, they may be able to send the robocalls out. Theyre not sure they want to do it. This season, if you get a call, its fake and a scam. Great information. This is not the irs agent youre looking for. You owe me 63. Up next, the toy fair is in town and we have our hands on this years hottest products. Grab the kids.
