7:03 am
online overnight, and you can see the shooter crawling into position on that rooftop before firing those shots. it is raising new questions this morning about that security surrounding the event. >> meantime, the former president is now speaking out in a series of interviews calling the shooting, quote, a very surreal experience and saying, quote, i'm not supposed to be here, i am supposed to be dead. >> president biden delivered a rare oval office address last night trying to tamp down political rhetoric saying we cannot allow this violence to be normalized. >> all of this unfolding with republicans now gathering to officially nominate donald trump at their convention which gets under way today in milwaukee. >> we have much to cover for you, including an update from one of donald trump's senior advisers live just ahead. but let's start with nbc's tom llamas who is at the rally site in pennsylvania, tom, good morning. >> reporter: savannah, good morning to you. we have new information about how that gunman may have been experienced in hitting long-distance targets. so just behind me, underneath that american flag that's where former president trump was speaking saturday night, and there in the distance, that tree
7:04 am
line that you see right there, that's where the would-be-assassin took up his position on a rooftop. you're about to hear from a woman in that area, she describes it as a free for all on saturday night. there were people all over the place and she says no security. remember, that's where the gunman was on the rooftop, about 150 yards from where trump was speaking. we've now learned overnight that the gunman was a member of a shooting club, a local shooting club in town, and that place had long-distance target practice with targets up to 180 yards. former president donald trump speaking out overnight after arriving in milwaukee for the republican national convention. >> take a look at what happened -- >> reporter: just 24 hours after his attempted assassination by a gunman at a campaign rally in pennsylvania, the former president discussing what we called a very surreal experience with the "new york post" saying i'm not supposed to be here, i'm
7:05 am
supposed to be dead. earlier in the night president biden addressing the nation from the oval office urging all americans to reject political violence. >> there's no place in america for this kind of violence, for any violence, ever, period, no exceptions. >> reporter: footage and firsthand accounts of the shooting show an apparent breakdown in security leading up to the attempt on mr. trump's life. >> yes, someone's on top of the roof, look. >> reporter: this new video emerging of the shooter earlier in the rally. >> he's on the roof. >> reporter: the crowd reacting as they see the shooter crawling on the roof, just outside of a protected perimeter some 150 yards from the former president. it's right there in that brown building where that would-be-assassin climbed up on the rooftop and took his position. valerie shared these photos, she says the lack of security she
7:06 am
saw surprised her, pointing to this gate, secured by zip ties. >> there was no security on this side at all. >> reporter: are you shocked you're this close to the president that there was no security? >> i kept asking her -- >> thinking about it now, yes. >> reporter: authorities say the gunman fired multiple shots before he was killed by a secret service countersniper team. the shooter identified by the fbi as 20-year-old thomas matthew crooks. the fbi has not identified a motive. investigators say they have no indication crooks had any mental health issues, previously unknown to law enforcement the 20-year-old was a registered republican who, according to campaign finance reports, donated $15 to a democratic group three years ago. former classmate jason kohler describes the 20-year-old as a loner who was regularly bullied for wearing hunting gear and a surgical mask to class. >> he would sit alone at lunch. he was just an outcast. >> reporter: the shooting
7:07 am
claimed a life of 50-year-old firefighter corey comperatore who died shielding his wife and daughter from the gunfire. >> corey died a hero. >> reporter: two others were also shot and are in stable condition, david dutch and james copenhaver. melody hook was sitting with her children behind mr. trump. when the shooting started. >> what can we take away from this, do you think? >> we need to be praying for our country and our children and hold your kids close. >> reporter: right now the fbi believes that the shooter did act alone, as for those victims, foundations have been set up to help with fund-raising to cover their costs, and former president trump has indicated he hopes to personally reach out to them and offer his condolences. savannah? >> tom, thank you very much. >> let us bring in tom winter, nbc news national law enforcement and intelligence correspondent, good morning, we're learning about thomas matthew crooks but there's little online about him,
7:08 am
no manifesto, little social media presence, but you're slowly putting together a picture of who this is. >> last evening the fbi operational people, and the special agent in charge of this investigation briefed reporters and they say right now to your point there is no indication specifically of what the motive might be, one of the things that they're focusing on right here, the key to this potentially is the phone, his cell phone has been taken to fbi's research and laboratories in quantico, virginia, trying to break through the security, download everything on that phone. it's important for people to understand, these cell phone forensic programs, even if you try to delete something it can typically find a record of what you tried to delete if not the actual thing itself. they can get that information off of there. it's what might be deleted that can be as helpful as what is actually on the phone, text messages, photos, apps, everything he's doing. >> anything he tried to google, anything. >> anything he tried to google, his recent web history, how
7:09 am
important might that be? because right now we're told federal investigators don't have it. there's nothing there on the motive front. we know a couple of additional things, one, the gun was purchased legally. it's our reporting it was purchased by the father and folks will immediately ask questions about that and say, okay, did the father know, was the family aware? it is our understanding from the fbi, they've said it on the record, the family is cooperating and there's no indication at this point that the family knew about this in advance or had any sort of role in it. he did leave behind some canisters, or containers in his vehicle that were also found at the house, there's some question about that, they've been described as rudimentary explosives, those have been taken to the fbi laboratory and they're going to look those over, they'll be more incendiary, the type of things he could have used to distract law enforcement while he climbed up on the roof. >> the politics, it's political violence in the sense it was a political candidate who was targeted but we don't know if it's a political motive, we don't know yet. when we think about john
7:10 am
hinckley who shot president reagan not, a political motive, he was trying to impress jody foster and had mental illness. and the shooter who shot gabbie giffords, not politically motivated. but the baseball shooting of steve scalise, that was politically motivated. we don't know yet, a registered republican, but donated to a democratic cause. >> was he buying a hat for somebody in his family or did he have political views? we don't know and we don't know the last time he voted and whom he voted for, very much in question what this motive could have been, and i know people are going to say he shot at donald trump, what motive could there have been other than something political? but it is important as they go through this to try to determine exactly what this was involving. we do know at this point and we've been told there's no sort of foreign involvement. i think that's also important for people to know at this stage of the investigation. >> tom, great reporting, thanks. >> thank you.
7:11 am
as mentioned, former president trump is now in milwaukee where the republican national convention will be getting under way later today. authorities there say they have made no changes in the wake of the shooting to what they call a robust security plan already in place. nbc's garrett haake covers the trump campaign, joins us from the convention site, garrett,
7:12 am
7:13 am
his message going back to 2016 and 2020, about securing our country's secrets. here, a federal judge whom he himself appointed as president now finds that the constitution forbids, essential, such an appointment as was done here for jack smith, the special prosecutor. now, we've yet to hear any official word from the trump campaign but his allies are rejoicing on social media, suggesting this was not just the right decision, but a necessary one, constitutionally, matt gaetz, a prominent trump supporter and something of a pro-trump twitter troll suggests aileen cannon ought to be named to the supreme court. there's been so much talk about mood of the convention after the attempted assassination of the former president on saturday, this development from the district court down in florida going to infuse i think a celebratory atmosphere here in
7:14 am
milwaukee once this convention gets under way in the next few hours. >> and garrett, as you point out, this, in some ways, had been seen as one of the more serious cases for him in terms of the stakes of it, where he's obviously running for reelection while accused of doing something to violate our nation's most closely-held secrets. >> that's right. >> it's hard to almost underscore what a win this is for him, obviously he had the new york conviction, he's going to be appealing that one, the d.c. case essentially gutted because of the supreme court saying that he's immune from most prosecution. the georgia case also bogged down in a completely unrelated delay with no hope of a trial. and this one was still sort of in limbo, but the stakes were high here for him politically and legally. >> reporter: that's right, and it appears that donald trump and his attorneys are going to pull the political equivalent of an inside straight in poker here, just an absolutely unbelievable
7:15 am
run of luck or skilled lawyering, depending on how you want to look at it here with, as you said, the georgia case bogged down over allegations of how the prosecutor was conducting herself in that office, the d.c. case, the federal case related to election interference as you point out essentially gutted by a supreme court immunity that in this particular case might not have applied. the conduct alleged here, essentially the hoarding of classified information, some of the country's most sensitive nuclear secrets was all conduct charged after he was citizen trump, ex-president trump, did not in the argument of the special counsel at least have anything to do with his conduct as president but rather haze conduct as donald trump the citizen whom he became once again after being president so theoretically would not have been subject to that immunity ruling. here a novel legal theory, something donald trump's political advisers thought was less likely to be the thing that threw him a lifeline here, doing
7:16 am
exactly that, the timing that could not be more fortuitous for the former president as he opens his convention as his opponent president biden has been peak waekenned and hobbled by the democratic response to his handling of that first debate with his own campaign ads off the air, democrats essentially sitting back in this moment, after the former president was the target of that attempted assassination over the weekend and now just this incredible legal and political break for a former president, just as he's about to seize the national spotlight for his four-day convention. >> the timing could not be more fortuitous. stand by for a minute as i go to legal analyst danny cevallos. you've been working your way through the decision, from judge cannon, appointed by the former president, it is lengthy, a motion filed by his legal team and not one, frankly, they expected to win. anybody else who looked at this said the special counsel jack smith was rightly appointed, there was no constitutional issue, but she agreed, is this reasoning going to stand up, danny?
7:17 am
>> it might, but your question really implies what we all know is that it does not end here at the district court level. this will go up because this is not just a ruling on this specific case, this is a ruling on the constitutionality of the appointment of jack smith. so, you better believe that trump's team is loading this into their arsenal for any other case, of course, the documents case, the january 6th case, they're going to use it. the argument is surprising in the sense that we've all been talking about immunity for the last couple weeks, the supreme court's decision there. this is not based, really, on immunity, it's based on the appointments clause of the constitution and also the appropriations clause, which the court didn't even reach, but implied that that would be a grounds for tossing the case as well. and the bottom line is this, the appointments clause requires, in the constitution, that someone like jack smith, according to the court, be appointed by the doj, or by the executive branch, but it must be confirmed by the senate. and so the argument there is
7:18 am
that this violates that portion of the constitution because jack smith was not appointed through this procedure and the judge essentially says, there's a way to do this. you can appoint jack smith the way all u.s. attorneys are appointed. >> danny, the special counsel, if he wants to, could try to appeal this ruling now to the 11th circuit, the federal appeals court, but given how things are going, given the timing issues, this, of course, has no hope of any resolution before the election. >> it had little hope of getting to trial before the election, now it has zero chance because the -- whoever appeals, obviously the jack smith team will appeal and yes, it will go up to the circuit court. i expect this is going to go pretty quickly to the supreme court, but however quickly it goes to the supreme court will not be quickly enough for the election. now, i say that, and as you know, laura, federal courts have a lot of power, circuit courts can put things on high speed in a way they can't in other cases,
7:19 am
it's theoretically this could be decided in a matter of weeks but it will not be in all likelihood if donald trump is elected this federal case is likely over and maybe the other federal case against donald trump in d.c. as a result, at least tangentially of this decision, even though this decision has no precedent there, no controlling value over judge chutkan in d.c. district court, it certainly gives the trump team a blueprint going forward. >> yeah, can't underscore enough what a win this is for him, and i was just in touch with his legal team who was briefing him just as we were coming on the air about this enormous win for them, can't underscore enough that this is essentially gutted the case, they did not expect to necessarily win on this issue, but i want to go back over to garrett now, with more on sort of how the political and legal landscape has intertwined here, garrett, because you wonder, given sort of where we are with everything that happened with the attempted assassination over the weekend, i wonder if we might not hear from even the
7:20 am
justice department about this, given everything of the context of what's going on here. >> reporter: well, laura, the justice department, as you know, likes to speak in indictments and in paper, and not necessarily on camera or on the record, particularly in situations like this, so i expect we might -- we're more likely to see a filing than a television statement. but the former president goes the other way. i think if he's got something to say about this we will see it and hear it from him perhaps on camera as early as today. i've covered politics for a long time, and i have never seen such an incredible months-long lucky streak by a politician, starting with an immunity ruling by a supreme court, surviving an assassination attempt, and to now having another case thrown out the moment his convention is expected to open, an extraordinary moment in our politics. >> garrett, you will have your hands full, thank you. that concludes this nbc special news report, much more ahead on your streaming network, and a

full wrap-up tonight on nbc "nightly news." we will return you to the "today" show, i'm laura jarrett, this has been an nbc news special report. >> good portion of the country next week with cooler than average temperatures although out west still say staying warm. we'll get to your local forecast in the next 30 seconds.

look in milwaukee where the republican national convention gets under way today, less than 48 hours after that stunning assassination attempt against former president trump. >> there are many unanswered questions this morning, and the incident is bringing new focus on the secret service, the agency designed to protect presidents. >> nbc's ryan nobles is following that part of the story for us. ryan, good morning. >> reporter: hoda and savannah, good morning. in just the last few minutes we received a statement from the director of the secret service kimberly cheatle who responded to some of the criticism the agency has received. she said they are working with all federal and state and local agencies and they understand -- to understand how it would happen and to prevent it from ever happening in the future. she also says that they're prepared to participate in the independent oversight that president biden has called for, and also to work with the oversight committees in congress. it's important to keep in mind the secret service was already the subject of great deal of criticism from members of
7:32 am
congress for a series of lapses at the agency. the assassination attempt against former president trump has now led to a flood of calls for investigations into what went wrong, and how the agency should be changed. >> take a look at what happened -- >> reporter: from the moment after the attempt on former president trump's life, the reports of security lapses came quickly. >> we're like, hey man, there's a guy on the roof with a rifle and the police are like, huh, what, like they didn't know what was going on. >> reporter: the building with the alleged shooter's body was found was roughly 148 yards from where the president spoke and outside the secret service's security perimeter. and two sources familiar with the agency's operations tell nbc news its roof was identified as a potential vulnerability ahead of the event. a spokesperson for the secret service says they designated that rooftop under the jurisdiction of local law enforcement, and worked with them to maintain event security,
7:33 am
but no one was posted on this particular building. the local district attorney says his office provided support, including sniper teams, but the secret service was in charge of security outside of the venue, and ran the show. many on capitol hill are demanding to know what went wrong. >> we need to know how could an individual be at that elevation that was seen by apparently bystanders on the ground, how could that not be noted by secret service? >> reporter: local law enforcement leaders say they are investigating their preparation for the event and their response after the shooting. already, a bipartisan pair of lawmakers are calling for increased secret service protection for all major presidential candidates. and the house homeland security chairman mark green sent a letter to secretary alejandro mayorkas demanding information about the security plans around the rally. pointing out in his letter,
7:34 am
quote, had the bullet's trajectory been slightly different the assassination attempt on former president trump might have succeeded. the secret service pushed back on reports that they reduced security presence around trump, a spokesman saying, quote, this is absolutely false. in fact, we added protective resources and technology and capabilities as part of the increased campaign travel tempo, but members of congress want answers. >> we need to know, is this a protocol failure, is this a resources issue, or is this just a failure of those who were on site that day? >> and director cheatle said in her statement this morning she's prepared to work with congress, the oversight committee already has plans to invite her to testify at a hearing on july 22nd. savannah and hoda? >> ryan, thank you. >> we want to bring in two people who have deep expertise on this subject. nbc news contributor and former secret service agent evy poumpouras, and clint watts. good morning to both of you. let's talk about the security
7:35 am
and let's acknowledge these are very, very difficult jobs that you have to get right every single time. but when we put the map up of this location, and you've secured locations, evy, before as a secret service agent. this was outside -- that rooftop was outside the security perimeter, what should have happened? >> here's the thing, we have the inner security perimeter, which traditionally, and i've done these before, as you said, you put your secret service assets there, my hard core area, i'm going to put my personnel on the outer perimeter, going to ask local police to help me, and based on the statement that we got from the secret service spokesman, he's alluding to that. he's saying -- it's actually a really important statement, to me, of all the statements they've made he's saying, and it's not us, it's them, we worked with them, and we asked them to secure that site, and the concern is, why wasn't that site secured? now -- >> the buck ultimately stopped with the secret service, let me check on you and make sure you're doing what you're supposed to do.
7:36 am
>> yes, so here's the thing, one is, i would say, was there clarity in telling them what they needed to do? even though you work with local police like protection and policing not the same thing. so you have to be very clear when you are working with your counter parts, hey, here is my concern. i want you to secure this area. also, we know that no person was put on the rooftop. why? why didn't they designate and say clearly we need somebody on top? >> because of that, there is actually some video of some bystanders yelling at local law enforcement saying, look, there is a guy on the roof. there's somebody up there. you can hear donald trump's speech going on while this is happening. in that particular setting, is there anything that the law enforcement should have done right then or could have done? >> i think the key thing is comparing this to the rnc coming up. when you look at these locations, you have state, local and federal assets all working together. and this is not a routine location. if you do something in new york
7:37 am
city, nypd, fbi, everybody works together in a jttf all the time. they know how to do this. go to these local organizations. they may have had to bring in law enforcement from outside that area just to cover this. now open air, protecting the president with secret service. i imagine the fluid sort of communication we see even during active shooter drills, for example, probably not in place during that time. >> just while i've got you, you know about investigations after something like this. it is so interesting that this shooter who was 20 years old, has almost no social media profile. investigators are, as far as we know right now, scratching their heads about what could have possibly motivated this. >> what have we seen a lot of? lonely guys, weapons, being bullied. but what we aren't seeing this time, social media presence, online presence. no big statements or anything from the community that he had political affiliations. that motive piece is really
7:38 am
curious. the other thing i just keep asking every time i watch this is reconnaissance. how did this individual know to go there, get up on top of the building and get into an elevated position to do that shot? did he do reconnaissance? has he been there before? there is a lot of open questions. i think those two things are huge gaps and very different from other investigations we are seeing. >> this conversation will certainly continue, evy and clint, thank you very much. coming up next, what will change in the wake of the shooting? we'll take a closer look at the growing calls for unity at a time of rising political violence across the country. also ahead, the tributes pouring in for shannen doherty. how her family and costars are honoring her life this morning. but, first, these messages. of e reached an a1c under 7 and maintained it. i'm under 7. ozempic® lowers the risk of major cardiovascular events such as stroke, heart attack, or death in adults also with known heart disease.

from. former president donald trump speaking out overnight after arriving in milwaukee for the republican national convention. >> take a look at what happened -- >> reporter: just 24 hours after his attempted assassination by a gunman at a campaign rally in pennsylvania, the former president discussing what he called a very surreal experience with the "new york post." saying, "i'm not supposed to be here. i'm supposed to be dead." earlier in the night, president biden addressing the nation from the oval office, urging all americans to reject political violence. >> there is no place in america for this kind of violence. >> reporter: footage and first-hand accounts of the shooting show an apparent breakdown in security leading up to the attempt on mr. trump's life. >> yeah, someone is up on the roof.
8:05 am
look. >> reporter: the crowd reacting as they see the shooter crawling on the roof just outside of a protected perimeter some 150 yards from the former president. valerie standing just below shared these photos, she says the lack of security she saw surprise her, pointing to this gate secured by zip ties. >> no, there was no security on this side at all. >> reporter: authorities say the gunman fired multiple shots before he was killed by a secret service countersniper team. the shooter identified by the fbi as 20-year-old thomas matthe matthew crooks. the fbi has not identified a motive. investigators say they had no indication crooks had any mental health issues. previously unknown to law enforcement the 20-year-old was a registered republican who according to campaign finance reports donated $15 to a democratic group three years ago. the shooting claimed the life of a 50-year-old firefighter who died shielding his wife and daughter from the gunfire. two others were also shot and
8:06 am
are in stable condition. 57-year-old david dutch and 74-year-old james copenhaver. we learned from high school classmates that the shooter was bullied growing up and they describe him as a loner. it is unclear what compelled him to come here and want to kill former president trump. >> thank you. we want to turn to kristin welker, moderator of "meet the press." she's in milwaukee where the rnc the republican national convention, kicks off today. kristen, what do you expect from this convention, especially in light of these events? >> reporter: well, savannah, i think the big question is what tone will we hear at this convention? i spoke to a source close to former president trump who has spoken to mr. trump. he describes the former president as contemplative. he feels as though he has a new lease on life. he's saying he's overhauling his speech to make it essentially a call for unity. a source familiar with his speech says he's been working
8:07 am
with his aides. he's rewritten a good chunk of it. he told the "new york post" overnight, quote, i had prepared an extremely tough speech, but i threw it away. i want to try to unite our country. worth noting that the rnc instructed other speakers here, savannah, not to necessarily tweak their speeches. but let's take a step back. on my plane ride over, on my conversations this morning, savannah, the assassination attempt against former president trump is all that anyone here is talking about. so something has fundamentally shifted here at the republican national convention and, quite frankly, throughout our country. so i would be surprised if we do not see reflections of this, the emotion of it, the terror that it instilled, the call for unity that former president trump says he is now going to deliver quite frankly infused into much of
8:08 am
what we see here. >> there is the business of the convention. and one of the open issues, who donald trump will name as his vice presidential candidate. jason miller, top adviser, said the president literally has not made up his mind yet. he's still thinking about it. there is three top contenders. but there may be someone we're not talking about. >> reporter: absolutely, and that was one of the big headlines from your interview with jason miller. the fact that former president trump hasn't made up his mind. you just showed three potential candidates, north dakota governor, florida senator marco rubio, ohio senator j.d. vance. who might we not be thinking about? nikki haley. she ran against former president trump at the primary. she will speak, expected to at some time this week. it is widely believed she would help him electorally. but will he make a gut decision? savannah, i'm told he is still literally undecided as jason miller indicated to you. >> whoever it is has a big speech to make wednesday night.

8:20 am
palace for us this morning. what a beautiful sight to watch kate walk into that stadium, the standing ovation that seemed to last forever. will you describe what that meant to the people of england? >> reporter: well, i think it was that moment where we had a bit of lump in our throats. it is not unusual for there to be a standing ovation on the finals day when we expect there to be a member of the royal family. but this just didn't feel like the ordinary. this felt extra special, extra loud, extra supportive. it meant a huge amount, not just to the crowds there at wimbledon and those gathered at center court, but to the nation. many of whom were tuning in. of course, we had a football later that evening. but to see them there, it is looking resplendent in purple, with little princess charlotte and her sister. very rare i see the princess lost for words, but she did look quite overwhelmed by that moment. i'm sure there was a lump in her throat. it was very special. >> she looked stunning, you said
8:21 am
she looked beautiful and very vibrant. not only did she watch the match. afterwards, she shook the hands of all the ball boys. she presented the trophy. she met afterwards. it showed her vibrancy was coming through on that day. >> reporter: absolutely. i had been lucky enough to be at wimbledon myself over at the tournament. i have to say looking over at that royal box when she wasn't there, it looked lackluster. so to see her turn up for the r this is a princess who is not just an avid tennis fan and watcher of te finals was wonderful. she always makes time for the ball boys and the ball girls. let's not forget that this is a princess who is not just an avid tennis fan and watcher of tennis, she's a brilliant player as well, herself. she loves the game. she's very tactical. it is the one time her and her husband get super competitive on the tennis court. for her to be there, soaking up the spatmosphere, being there at the final and awarding the trophy would have been a really special moment. i'm not sure if we are going to see her again later this summer. i think we have to wait and see. i was told there were two key moments in her calendar, assuming that she had a good day.
8:22 am

8:45 am
grounds? >> it was really wild because my grandmother was born there. she moved when she was, you know, out of high school. and my great grandparents were there. i found all these things when i was doing a family tree for my mom's birthday. and i found like the census documents of where they lived and their immigration papers when they came from eastern europe. it was really magical. >> what did that do for you? you know when you fill in the gaps of your life? what did that do for you when you did that? >> it's so amazing. i mean, i feel like every woman understanding your mother is such an important part of understanding yourself, and then your mother is who she is because of your grandmother, because of her mother, and so to kind of understand that chain is just so revelatory internally. >> well, you must be tough because bear grylls says so. you know, it's so funny.
8:46 am
i was just thinking about your mom in that sense because i wonder if she handed that down. bear grylls who has that show if you are out in the wild, he's met with everybody and done everything. yet, one of the things he says, and i think we might have some sound about this, one of the toughest people he's ever encountered is you. let's roll that. >> i think often that the girls really, you know, outshine the men. you know, i think natalie portman recently, she was incredible. you know, she's tiny but just unstoppable. >> tiny and unstoppable, wow. >> that is a high compliment from him. >> yeah. where did that come from? >> yes. i think my mom is like that. my mom is like, you know, happiest when she's out in the woods like making do with, you know, just nature. she's just magic. >> i was looking at your imdb. you have so many wonderful credits. the "bluey" credit surprised me. a little bit. okay, i didn't know this. >> it's the most important one. >> so you were part of the "bluey" cast.
8:47 am
what was your role? what did you do? >> i was a narrator of a nature documentary that they were watching, and it is very -- it's a very important show for my family, and i was really, really honored to get to be part of it. >> by the way, "bluey" is such a hit in our house, too. what is it about it? >> it's so wonderful. >> yes. >> it's just -- i don't know, it's just pure joy. >> yeah, which is something that we need. >> something we need. >> by the way, you are such a lovely, well-rounded person, just grounded. every time you come on, i feel that. i hope that people go and see this. you will come back later with me and jenna and visit a little bit more. >> yes, yes. >> okay. >> me too. >> natalie, thank you so much. >> thank you. >> we should mention "lady in the lake" is streaming on apple tv+, it starts on friday. with the remarkable ll sit down co

we we're back now at 8:49 with a man who is owning the spotlight right now. after more than 30 years as a working actor, colman domingo is a leading man, starring last year in "the color purple," which earned him a golden globe. and an oscar nomination. he's also won an emmy for his role in "euphoria" and now in the film "sing sing," he plays a man who finds salvation in a theater group. take a look. >> it's been a program that was established to help the population with management skills, and it's turned into something a bit more, i don't know, wonderful because it helps people be more in touch with their feelings and able to process and actually move through and get some rehabilitation. >> so are you acting at all in?
8:51 am
>> absolutely not. >> during this interview? >> absolutely not. >> colman domingo, good morning. good morning. that one second right there, she took the air out of the room. >> she took all the air out of the room, out of the soul. >> you have been doing incredible work, but you say that this -- this movie is the best work you have ever done. "sing sing." tell me about that. >> i feel that way, hoda, because there is something raw and, i don't know, just vulnerable. there is a vulnerability that'so going through the film because it is really about tenderness and brotherhood. that means everything to me. i know that i -- i feel like i stripped myself bare in this performance, that i felt was necessary. >> yeah. it's actually filmed in an actual prison. tell me a little bit about that. >> well, that was also the thing. you know, this is about a program at sing sing prison. we actually shot in decommissioned prisons in upstate new york. >> wow. >> just going into a prison, you can't tell which way is north or
8:52 am
south. the air feels differently. you see the size of the cells. you see that it's not a place for rehabilitation. it doesn't feel that way. >> it is a beautiful, uplifting story. when i first saw it, i was like, oh, i wonder what sing sing is. you're like, wow. it will blow you away. i love your life because you live by the mantra which i love, too, which is it gets greater later. >> it sure does. >> and you are hitting it. it is your 50s and i just read all these nominations and wins. what is happening in this decade of your life? >> i feel my very best. i thought i would be cool in my 40s. but nobody tells you the 50s are great. you feel good. i feel like i'm in my story telling season but also telling my truth hitting season as well, too. i say what i feel. i feel a part of the world. i feel like purposeful, mindful. all those lessons that you feel like you try to stack up in your 20s and 30s i feel like are more realized. >> because you feel like, especially in your industry,
8:53 am
too, that when you get older it doesn't always serve you. but you are truly -- i have to tell you, i think every great thing in my life happened in my 50s. i got this job in my 50s. i got my kids in my 50s. >> wow. >> like, you don't know when your blessings are coming, but they're coming, right? >> they're always coming. i have always been a hopeful person in that way. i feel like i'm landing in a space where i feel truly myself and feel happy and joyful every day. >> was there a time because sometimes before something good happens, there is a lot of dry periods where you question yourself. >> absolutely. >> you wonder, why am i doing this? should i be doing this? am i getting a sign not to do this? >> we could go back to 12 years ago where i was going to leave the industry. i thought, if it's not -- if it's not working in the way i felt like i want to make smart decisions. i was in my 40s and things were not happening the way i thought they should. >> is that like 2012, something like that? >> yeah. >> 2012 you thought, let me quit. and then in 2024 you won one of
8:54 am
"time" magazine's most influential people of all time. >> you never know what's yours in this life. all i know is i was following my heart and my gut. that's the only thing i was following on this path. >> what stopped you from leaving the industry? what was it? >> i think believing that -- first of all, i had to build a new team of people around me that believed what i believed in my heart where i could be purposeful. i feel like it helped move me to the next place. i just dug back in deeper with what i started with. i want to tell great stories about humanity in some way. and i feel like that's been my north star. that's why i play in all these different fields, theater to television and film, because i just really feel like i want to be purposeful with story telling. >> how do you handle critics, good and bad? sometimes you get raves and sometimes it is tough. do you ingest those? do you take those in? >> something happened to me when i did this show passing strange where i had to learn the art of sort of not caring
8:55 am
what -- >> what people thought? >> what people thought. my job is just to tell the story. it is your job to distill it. that's my job as a story teller. everyone will get a different message. you have to respect that. maybe you didn't see it, you didn't see my intention. that's okay, too. >> there was a recent announcement that season 3 will start production in a few months. you won two emmys for your guest role. you have a lot going on. so what is going to happen? do you have anything on that? >> no. i wish i had something more on that. i'm just happy that the release is out there that we're going back because i know we're going back. it is such a dynamic series, and i love my costars. i can't wait to be back to it. >> so i hate to say what's next when you are right smack in the middle of something. don't you hate when people do that? so this is a great thing. but what is the next great thing? >> the next thing is a series with tina fey and steve carol. called the four seasons, based off that old film with carol burnett and rita moreno. it is beautiful. so i'm going to shoot that in upstate new york. i'm going to have a good time. >> okay. if this is you in your 50s, i'm scared of you in your 60s. you will be knocking it out of
