the republican system is a -- >> i do question her judgment. >> this is a phony attack. >> thank you. thank you from the bottom of my heart. good morning and welcome to sunday "today." i'm willie geist. i'm usually w sunday today.he i'm usually where you are this time of the week, but from now on i'll be here spending the morning with you. you get to keep your sweat pabts on. we're going to take you to a rare backstage look that is hamilton. the musical's breakout star is

sneaking a thin showing up to show what it is to be the center of the hysteria. >> how crazy is this for you right now. >> it is the most exciting, wonderful, trying, challenging time ever. >> then we'll go inside the world of artificial intelligence. there's a big debate at the highest reaches of hill son valley. olivia sterns looks into it. >> ai might be a really good thing for us and it might be a really, really not god thing for us. >> and with the boston marathon tomorrow, a group of survivors is gathering there again. their story a bit later. let's begin with the race for president. after nearly two weeks of campaigning and some painful

displays of panderings the debate on thursday night and bernie sanders sus led off to the vatican with a brief meeting with pope francis. hillary clinton was at an event friday that cost $353,000 per couple. sanders supporters threw dollar bills at her motorcade as she drove into this event. >> it is an obscene amount of money. the sanders campaign is absolutely right. it is ridiculous that we should have this kind of money in politics. >> thank you for having the very first guest on sunday today. good to see you. >> great to see you and congratulations on the new show. i'm so honored to be your first guest. >> you have one candidate in california hanging out with the

cl clooneys. >> first of all, secretary clinton still has to raise money the old fashioned way. she has to go to these high dollar fund raisers where senator sanders can raise millions of dollars in small donations online. we've seen him do it every single month. he's the true progressive. he's the one that's going to fight to get money out of politics but the bottom line, it's not clear that what happened, those differing optics are going to impact the polls here. what could happen senator sanders up with new ads so could it hurt her where you have leaning voters and i think the fact that senator sanders decided to go to the vatican i

think he thinks the cake is baked here. this is a personal decision for him. he got to meet with the pope but he did give up some critical campaign time here in new york. >> as you mentioned hillary clinton up big in the polls there in the state of new york. let's swing over now to the republican side of things. donald trump dominating the polls in his home state of new york while railing against the republican party over what he calls a rigged system of delegate allocation. >> but the system is a bad, bad system and they've got to do something about it. the republican national committee, they better get going, because you're going to have a rough july at that convention. >> also on saturday ted cruz picked up 14 delegates in the

state of wyoming. that's where we find hali jackson. dlt has been all week on this rant against the rnc, against the party saying it was a rigged system. last night issuing that warning that it's going to get crazy in july. what is his strategy here? >> his campaign would be foolish to not be looking at a contested convention. he's struggling when it comes to keeping up in the delegate race with ted cruz, so the best shot is to win outright. that's why you're seeing him take aim at the process. the risk is the very people that he's kidding are the very folks that will be at a convention in cleveland. for trump, the key to winning out now as he's been doing is to try to look for presidential. it's why you're seeing him head to the new york military

commander today. he's got a shorter, tighter stump speech and he's looking forward to hitting hillary clinton even harder. he's got a new nickname, crooked hillary. and the strongest earthquake in decades hit ecuador. it struck last night collapsing homes and buckling roads. the damage stretching for hundreds of miles. pope francis brought refugees back to italy. all three families escaped the fighting in syria. they will be cared for by a catholic community. and he was asked a question about quantum computing at a press conference. >> what quantum states allow for

is much more complex information to be encoded into a computer disk. it's either a one or a zero. a quantum state can be much more than that. >> bet you didn't expect that answer, did you? check out the woman's face behind you? yes, very impressive. joining us now to make sense of this wild week, the charter members of our table. owner of the single finest head of hair on the united states. and she worked most recently on ryan paul's campaign race. wes moore is a rhode scholar. and wes is here because he's going to be president someday and i want the first interview.

thanks for being with me. >> here we are. >> i saw you tweet last night about the prime minister and his beautiful mind moment. >> he's just trolling the united states right now. he's like an internet commenter on all the shortcomings of the united states. >> let's begin with the democrats. it seems to me, watching that debate on thursday night hillary clinton is outright annoyed that bernie sanders is still in the race. he's got the money to go as far as he wants to go. what does the dynamic look like? >> i think for a while bernie was in it as a mage candidate and the risk now is now he's basically really angry too at hillary clinton. it seems like there's genuine animosity between the two so he's going to stretch this out as long as he can too. if it keeps becoming

increasingly personal and it's not about the message that attracted grass roots support, it's not going to go anywhere. >> so what's the end game for bernie sanders here? >> i think as a tactical end game is can he get the nomination or not? but i think we're at risk of turning it into a personality contest and i think it obscures the philosophical choice that has emerged. a kind of win-win model. the rich are doing great, let's other people join them. a lot of people are not doing great preskiesly because some people are doing great. they are the barriers and i think that's an exciting and interesting debate that now is getting merged into like who's yelling harder. >> and she has absorbed many points of his message over the

course of the campaign. >> and at this point they're almost vigorously agreeing with each other. >> the two is they have energy. people that occupy wall street and on the republican party they are finding themselves to be very, very wrong. these are moments that have grown and now have become politic political. at this time in 2008 senator obama was far outpacing. that's not the case this time around. so bernie sanders has the financial momentum to be able to keep going and drag this out farther. >> you got out with paul a few months ago. donald trump, it appears is preparing his strategy, but the

warning shot last night in syracuse where he told the rnc, if you're trying to take this away from me, you're in for a tough july. >> he's figured out how to tap in to what people are thinking. however, contatactically he neee rnc more than they need him. there are other men who would like the nomination for president ie ted cruz. >> but i don't think donald trump believes he needs the rnc. he believes he can take it all the way to the finish line. >> i think if he's done something that maybe the republican establishment and the democrats can learn from he's identified a lot of white working class, anger, fear, pain, that he has kind of uniquely been able to speak to and i think if they're smart, the establishment or the

democrats, they're going to try to seduce people that have been swept up in that move with that less hateful movement. >> we're learning more about the delegate selection and it turns out it's not the voters that choose the candidates. does donald trump have a point with that? >> he has a point and he's exposing the idea that this is not people playing by the rules, this is about people playing by the rules but they're against you. and this happened with wall street. where the frustration was about why is no one going to jail for this? and then the frustration became i'm frustrated because no laws were broken. and he's basically saying this system is not made for you to succeed and therefore, i'm not just running to become the president. i'm running to completely

reinvent the way we view these rules. >> and his paddling story in georgia. we learned this week protected by the supreme court in a 1977 ruling. there's no federal prohibition of paddling. you watch that and you just recoil. >> i felt like a little bit broken for several minutes after seeing that video. it is -- i think we -- these are nost not isolated incidents. we need to think about this violent strain in our country which shows up in so many different forms and is not normal in most developed countries. >> but there is an argument out there. there are biblical arguments out there. and there's a reason it's legal. but what are some of the outcomes in that kind of punishment in a school? >> i was a child where beatings and these type of things just

came. if you were acting up, that was something that just happened. and the challenge of it and why i think about how it works out with my kids, i have a 4-year-old and a 2-year-old and i couldn't imagine doing it or vg having someone else do it to them. i'm not sure it's going to get the results that we're looking for. if we have a situation where we have people who their response to acting out, their response to someone doing something wrong against you is violence, then the unfortunate thing is we might be then creating someone who thinks that's how they need to react. >> we showed a tiny bit of it this morning. other big story in sports this week. we had a couple of things. kobe dropped 60. also, the warriors set the record. they go 72-9.

one better than the bulls 72-10. so the question for the table, are the warriors now the greatest team of all time? it's hard for me to accept -- i grew up watching jordan and the bulls. it's kind of like music. the mudsic you grew up with is always the best music, that's how i feel about the bulls. i got to see the warrior yours in a game a few weeks ago. >> i go michael. >> i go michael. i can't -- it's just childhood. the glory days. >> wes moore, the dissenting opinion. >> i think micheal jordan is the best player of basketball. curry has the best season. if you look at how the '96 bulls would have compared. who would have covered him?

shut him down is questionable. this is team that has done things. they beat, you know, the spurs this year is arguably also a top ten, top 12 team in history. this team is spisecial. >> we've got michael jordan on line one for you. this is? ja pampa japan. next on sunday today, the highs and lows of the week including america's greatest toddler. we'll begin the campaign to get him a two dollar bill. >> and sunday today already back after your local weather and a short break.

everybody else will be in the 80s. it will be hot. remember that spf as you get going. i was in the pool at my apartment with our kids and just out there ten minutes and the sun was just beaming down and this is about 4:00 in the afternoon. so it's going to warm up by noon and all the way until about 5:00. >> good to know. >> wear the sunscreen. >> maybe time to fire up the grill. >> oh, yes. >> anthony, thanks. return now to developing story in san francisco where a beautiful day at the beach took a deadly turn. five teen boys were swept out to sea at ocean beach, two have not been found. it happened yesterday just before 4:30 in the afternoon. the search for the boys was called off last night around 9:00. officials say a huge wave separated the two from their friends who had all locked arms before heading into the water. >> five boys who were in waist-deep water and they were swept out to sea. three of the boys were able to self-rescue. they came back into shore. two, unfortunately, were not and

our thoughts and prayers go out to the family. >> the coast guard says the boy could be 6 to 15 miles from shore and it could be a week before they're found. the teens lost in the surf are from vallejo. police are searching for suspects in a drive-by shooting in the south bay. it happened last night in san jose just before 7:00 p.m. officers say they found the victim suffering from life-threatening injuries when they got to the scene. he died a short time later at the hospital. so far no details on the suspects or their car. we have a follow-up on a devastating fire at a sunnyvale apartment complex. the entire 81-unit complex has been declared uninhabitable following that fire on friday. more than 100 people are displaced, many now staying at the sunnyvale senior center which has been turned into an emergency shelter. two people were hurt in the fire. several others had to be rescued by firefighters after flames and smoke left them trapped on their

it happened, the room where it happened. >> i want to be in the room where it happened. >> so when you come in from home, you see the rogers sign, you see the hamilton sign, you still get that feeling? >> i can imagine what that 17-year-old kid would have thought, you know, about something like this, about a moment like this. he would be really proud. >> i want to be in the room. >> you're saying at first not on stage but in church, you weren't drawn to musicals and broadway and all that. >> i didn't really even know what that was until rent. we didn't grow up going to see broadway shows ap stuff. >> you get that role when you're

17 years old. you leave home to take the part, but i imagine an easy decision when rent calls, you go. >> i had been aauditioning all summer. no caller id, even, but i promise you. >> reporter: there was something that felt different about that ring. i don't know what it was. i picked up the phone and it was new york. >> thank you. >> nice to meet you. >> i'm going to cry. >> don't you do it. >> pardon me. >> on a real show night, what time do you get here? a half hour before. i get dressed relatively quick. >> can we go to work? >> he's fully dressed. i'm not, but i will be.

notorious for that. >> it makes people very nervous. >> i'm going to shoot him in like three hours. don't shoot anybody. >> what were your impressions about him before he got into this show? >> i knew what that commercial told me. >> today's $10,000 question, who shot alexander hamilton? >> there's that line in the show where you say i'm the villain in your history books. i guess this is the way it's going to be. was he aville lawn? >> the world was wide enough was his own quote. that's lifted right from his lips. the world was wide enough for hamilton and me. >> tommy and david our production designer, he did all the set, helped me find a place that i could watch the audience

for a couple minutes before the show. they couldn't see me, but i could see them. it would freak them out if they knew, but i watched them from here. >> what do you want to see? >> i'm looking to see are they happy, are they excited? are they tired? are they a little drunk tonight? >> can you pick that up. >> sure. okay. they're going to get a little tired around the end of act one, you've got to know that kind of stuff. we do the lottery winners in the first row. the first row is only paid $10 and there you're going to get a lot of your super fans. we get these kids who will cry through the whole show or just seeing a jaw on the floor for the entire thing as they're watching this thing. >> this is the famous -- yeah, the hall of fame wall. lynn put this up and this is where everybody signs.

there's oprah, joe biden, that was big when they came because when new people come, you see the show through their eyes. and i know they had just lost a son and so we had that whole section right there. >> and you talked about the president of the united states coming to see it. world leaders, athletes, people you probably grew up in awe of now coming backstage to tell you how great you are. is that a mind bending experience? >> yeah, the also beautiful thing of it is that you're meeting you're heroes in a way that they are disarmed a bit, because they come backstage and we spent three hours together. we fought a war together, we've come out of that together. we've had some life, we've had some deaths and some celebration and there's a deeper connection there which has been really special.

>> caught me completely naked. completely nude. you guys missed it. >> you're shooting the wrong way, man. >> when i watch not just the show, but behind the scenes stuff, you guys seem genuinely tight. >> when we are together, that original cast, when we step on stage to do our thing, there is a conspiratorial essence and so we're a family. and that makes you -- it just makes you better. >> i think for a lot of us, you kn know, what it gave me othe the

opportunity to go here's what i've learned in my entire life of training and loving this and we dump it all out and now i'm looking forward to the opportunity to take a step back and seeing what i've learned. >> is there any fear though? >> no, it's an amazing moment. >> and quite a moment it is. you heard him talking about stepping back from the show. he tells me he'll do that this summer to pursue his music career. the success of the show has brought a massive windfall. he clears $500,000 a week. you can see much more of our conversation including the story of the childhood karoake

us? >> so ai is actually all around us. you're driving a car, there is an engine, fuel injection system going on. and the parameters of that are fine tuned constantly by artificial intelligence. listening to pandora, that's ai listening to what you like and making better decisions. the ai around us is narrow intelligence. >> stay in your own lane. >> it is really good at one thing. you probably know what the headlines recently that google made when its ai beat the world champion gold player. really good at go. if you ask it for dating advice, not going to be helpful. >> alpha go is the latest man versus machine victory in a tit for tat race against tech giants like facebook, google and microsoft to develop ai beyond its current narrow form. remember watson. >> what is broke the bank in. >> five years after winning jeopardy, ai picked up a few new

>> if you look at the news recently, microsoft created this really awesome teenage girl, ai called taye she'll get on twitter and interact with other teenagers, learn their slang, but then a lot of people on twitter started trolling the situation and before you know it the teenage girl was saying incredibly bigoted things. >> reporter: yes. >> that's an example of how you can plan something and ai is learning on its own. >> reporter: you can train ai to be benevolent? >> people are trying to think about how we can do that. a nice family can come build a house, and they build a house on top of an ant hill, kill a bunch of ant ants. they don't hate ants. that's the fear, that the ai is doing its thing, and we end up being the victims by accident. >> reporter: a group of tech entrepreneurs including elon musk has committed a billion dollars to the nonprofit open ai whose aim is to avoid the ai accidents and make sure it remains a, quote, extension of

human wills and not something that is used against us. you say that we are at this key juncture in human history. >> people will grow up in a world that is completely different than the world they were born into. we haven't had things advance that quickly and the truth is this could be the last time we are the smartest things on this planet. >> and olivia sterns joins me now live. we heard all the benefits, watson can help us cure cancer. so why the alarm? i look at that and say the twitter bot went wrong but how bad can it be? >> right now we're still in control. there is a lot of concern that pretty soon the computers could outsmart us. you have to think about the fact that technology doesn't just advance steadily. actually advances at an exponential rate, doesn't just get smart, smarter, smarter, it accelerates. i think what steven hawking and elon musk are concerned about is that what if computers suddenly become human level intelligence and super intelligence and

quickly cruises right past us, we don't know what hit us and what if they suddenly decide it is inconvenient to have us around. obviously a solid camp of experts including mark zuckerbergs who thinks the computers will help us but something to keep an eye on. >> as elon musk put s it so subtly, summoning the demon. they survived the bombing at the boston marathon three years ago. this year they thought they would add a few thousand miles to the run. their amazing story after your local weather and a quick break. we're waking up to temperatures in the 50s for the most part. a few 40s in the north bay but it's going to be a hot day. we're talking temps near 80 doution in san francisco later this afternoon. inland valley will get to the mid to upper 80s. wouldn't be surprised if a few of us hit 90. grab the sunscreen and water before you head out to the day. it's going to be a toasty day in the bay.
