said all of his predecessors had been outwitted by north korea's leaders. >> you look at different things over the years with president obama, everybody, he's been outplayed. they've all been outplayed by this gentleman and we'll see what happens. >> reporter: in japan today, vice president mike pence reassured the u.s. ally that military action is not the first choice, but it is an option. >> all options are on the table. and there they will remain. >> reporter: in a show of force the "uss carl vinson" aircraft carrier has been directed to the korean peninsula and will arrive next week. in an effort to push kim jong-un to the negotiating table the u.s. has continued to increase sanctions and cyber sabotage its nuclear weapons program. mr. trump is betting china will do for him what it has failed to do for past u.s. presidents cut off financial support to destitute pyongyang. on monday north korea's ambassador to the u.n. issued a warning. >> it has been in the situation in which the nuclear war may

erupt at any moment on the peninsula. >> reporter: question of what mr. trump will do next followed him to the white house easter egg roll. >> say hi. >> say hi. >> behave. behave. >> reporter: the question is what the next move will be. a state department official told reporters yesterday, that the u.s. will not stand idly by. when asked about the potential for u.s. strikes said, quote, we are committed to defending our people if necessary. >> thank you, margaret. >> to adriana diaz in booing with new information on the type of missile that north korea tried to test over the weekend. adriana, good morning. >> good morning. despite the vice president reiterating in japan that the u.s. is committed to the denuclearization of the korean peninsula north korea has other ideas. they displayed their largest weapons over the weekend, including what appeared to be

intercontinental ballistic missiles. u.s. intelligence hasn't verified if they're real. icbms are capable of reaching the continental united states but the north has never tested one. they have tested plenty of shorter range missiles including one sunday that exploded seconds after launch. u.s. officials believe it was a liquid fuel medium-ranged missile known as a kn-17. it's an anti-ship weapon that north korea may have been testing to intimidate the u.s. strike group that arrives off the peninsula next week. some of the missiles that were displayed at the military parade this weekend were carried on chinese-made trucks. they could have been sold to north korea for civilian use but repurposed. when asked about this today the chinese government said that it is strictly complying with u.n. sanctions, though for the record, their trade with north korea is up so far this year, nearly 40%. charlie? >> thanks so much. adrian diaz in beijing.

fran townsend is a former homeland security adviser to former president george w. bush. good morning. >> good morning. >> the testing of icbm if successful is a critical decision point for the president. >> that's right. and i think look, the good news is, the most recent missile test failed. but they made significant progress and so when the president says others have been outplayed, i think what he's talking about, is both the development that we've seen in the missile program, and the nuclear test, the underground nuclear test that we've seen and he's right, it is very concerning the amount of progress we've seen over the last 12 years, in the north korean program. >> is this thing ratcheting up so intensely somebody could make a mistake and we're all at war? i don't worry about the u.s. miscalculating. i worry about kim jong-un miscalculating the rhetoric. i don't think anybody wants to see that sort of an escalation and i think mike pence's statements this morning in japan

signal we're not looking to make a first strike, but we also won't sit idly by. china's got this huge trade relationship. china has really ability to sort of impede the the supply chain into north korea. there are banks, there are businesses. china does have tremendous leverage and the question is can we bring them to a point where they will use it? >> that's the question. and jerry from "the wall street journal" raises this today the chinese still oppose the missile defense system in south korea. >> let's remember what china's strategic interest is here, right. they don't want to see chaos in north korea, but they also are not fans of a unified korean peninsula. they don't want to see u.s. military forces on their border in a unified korea. we have to understand what each country's strategic interest is, and try to play that to our best advantage. >> fran, as someone who knows how these type of conversations go, there's a lot of tough talk on both sides, what do you think is going on behind the scenes?

>> well no question, look, you see the diplomatic effort playing out between the president, president trump and president xi. but there's -- we also ought to expect there's covert and clandestine activity on both sides. we know that north korea's got cyber ability and we know the united states does as well as electronic warfare capability. and so while we don't understand the details of that, behind the scenes, those sorts of plays are being made to try to influence the way people -- >> any evidence that the chinese are changing just a bit? >> we saw them turn back the coal, but, you know, as we heard from margaret trade is up 40% and so we have to watch for the president has said maybe in today's interview, maybe they can't do much. i don't buy that. i think the chinese have tremendous leverage on trade, diplomacy, sanctions, there's all sorts of things they can do. we better see that start happening pretty quickly. >> the president said he will make a deal by softening up on trade they'll do something with north korea. >> that's right. we ought to see he vert and real

definite -- overt and real definite signs of chinese activity before he does that. >> fran townsend always good to have you here. thank you. >> thank you. >> democrats are trying to turn a congressional election in georgia into a referendum on president trump. 18 people are running for the sixth district seat. that's just north of atlanta. the national democratic party is backing a first-time candidate jon ossoff. the president is targeting him with phone calls and tweets. nancy cordes is in atlanta at a rally of ossoff supporters. good morning. >> good morning. and these democratic volunteers are getting ready for one last round of door knocking on election day and you know that entire political world is focused on this election, when president trump himself tweets about it twice before 7:00 a.m. for national democrats, still stung by his surprise win in november, this race is one small shot at redemption. >> are you all ready to flip the

sixth? >> reporter: 30-year-old jon ossoff is hoping a surge of anti-trump energy will help turn this suburban atlanta district from red to blue for the first time in nearly 40 years. it's a prize so tantalizing to democrats that they poured $8.3 million into his campaign in more than two months, 18 times more than the top republicans have raised. in his final week he's seen an influx in volunteers from other states, joining forces with local democrats. >> going canvassing with us? >> samuel l. jackson cut this ad urging democrats to vote. >> remember what happened the last time people stayed home, we got stuck with trump. >> reporter: republicans have attacked ossoff as an inexperienced opportunist. president trump who won this district by just one point, said op twitter that ossoff wants to protect criminals, allow illegal immigration and raise taxes. he also cut this robocall. >> liberal democrats from

outside of georgia are spending millions of dollars trying to take your republican congressional seat away from you. >> georgians have chipped in to my campaign than to any of the other candidates in the race. >> reporter: ossoff has benefitted from a fractured republican field, 11 gop candidates, competing against all five democrats today in what's known as a primary. >> do you feel more pressure knowing democrats across this country have invested their hopes in you? >> i feel so well supported by thousands of volunteers here in this community. i want to make them proud. >> reporter: to win outright today, ossoff needs to win 50% of the vote. now that's a tall order in a gop district, but what would be even tougher, charlie, would be a runoff in june where all gop voters would be united around one republican candidate, instead of 11. >> thanks nancy. the supreme court justice neil gorsuch waited 11 minutes

the story most of us have never heard of. >> a story we can get caught up in the science because it's controversial but i love to talk about the beauty of just a woman who was so young, and seemingly so disenfranchised and the impact she had, and especially when you look at her family today and see all the things they continue to contribute to generations, three generations later. it's been empower story that should inspire all of us to tell our stories to our children. >> i thought the same thing. rose you play the author, the journalist who her dogged pursuit to tell the story to form this friendship with debra, to help her discover her mother, it's such a beautiful story. what did you learn. >> she's incredibly smart, incredibly determined, and if she has her mind on something, she will get it, and she's a

very impressive person and i got to spend quite a bit of time with her. she was candid with me. here we are. and you know, she's very candid and shared a lot of stuff not in the book. >> rose, i love how norah says formed this friendship with deborah. she was a little crazy. you had a bumpy journey. >> it was understandable. she was pour noid and abused. >> it's interesting, because there were a couple of times when we were really sitting together and being friendly and george goes no, no, no, no. too friendly. too friendly. that's enough of that. friendly. but there's a great scene where debra grabs you and throws you up against the wall and you tell her to shut the bleep up. oprah has anybody said that to you? >> nobody has ever said that to me in real life, shut the bleep up. when you get told shut the bleep up there's a moment where you just go, wait a minute.

who you talking to? >> i wondered that about you because, number one, you were so convincing when you said it. and i thought, god, i wonder how she's taking that in. >> we did that many times. >> it was a long day. >> we shut the bleep up all day long. >> yes, we did. george was a -- he was a great leader. we all lent on him. >> just ask what he added to this. >> he's a jgenius, he's a national treasure. he's a broadway iconic writer. >> audrey mcdonald told you you would become a better act? >> audrey mcdonald and i had done a table read for "night mother" with george wolf and scott sanders that never came to be. but audrey mcdonald said to me if you ever get a chance in life to be directed by george wolf, take it, because he will change you as a person and as an actress. >> because you weren't even going to be in this movie because you wanted to work with

george. >> i did this because i wanted to work with george and i did this because when i first heard the tapes that rebecca, the author of the book, had of debra, she had hours and hours and hours of tapes of debra, debra actually wanted me to play her. >> oh, my gosh, i just got the chills. >> she had watched the oprah show. girl, guess what they did on oprah today. so i can hear her voice saying that and i can hear her saying that she wished that i -- first she wanted me to play her mother and then realized i was too old to play her mother and would be better playing her. >> and it's prophetic. >> it feels prophetic and i feel like this coming into fruition is a part of her dream. we always felt on set any time something would go right or wrong, henrietta was there. >> telling the story too is the immense contribution that henrietta lacks has made to science that nobody knew about, but it's also a story of abuse. the abuse of her and her

contribution, not only taking her cells without her knowledge, which has now been changed, you have to get permission, but not even acknowledging her. they tried to change her name and call her helen lane. >> they didn't want anybody to know they were her cells. you think of all the people who have benefited from her cells through medical science, a lot of them not knowing this was an african-american woman's contribution that led to their own personal healing, so we feel it's a victory to get the story made. >> are you acting more and enjoying it more? >> it seems like i am. it wasn't an intentional thing, charlie. this -- i held this as a producer and had thought of other people who should have played the role because of loerj from hbo who said you need to do it.

when i heard the tapes, i said, okay, i'll do it. but i was very much intimidated because everyone has done more films than i have so i'm not accustomed to stepping into a situation where, you know, i'm the person in the room who is the least experienced. >> was she any good, rose? >> you know what -- >> i would love to be on the set when she's acting. >> she was fantastic. >> we had a lot of late night scenes. >> we did have a lot of late night scenes. you're conserving your energy and managed through the whole process which i totally respect. you had a huge undertaking physically and emotionally. >> rose would come in in the morning because she had been up with the baby all night. we're tiptoeing around the trailer because rose is in the chair sleeping. >> and you got to do comedy. >> i'm funnier than most people know. >> laugh out loud roll over funny. >> i'm much funnier than i

appear to be. >> but of course the project comes with controversy because a member of henrietta lacks' family, one of her sons, is complaining that their mother is exploited. what do you say about that? >> well, that first picture that you showed, that was the first day we had all gone to baltimore to meet with the family. let me say, i think there's one family member who was disgruntled. the rest of the family were consultants on this film. the one family member who's disgruntled, as it turns out from a story i read in "the washington post," it was a great story, has never read the book. >> never read the book or seen the film. >> and so my feeling is you don't get a right to complain if you haven't read the book. >> and if you go to instagram, you'll see rebecca walking around new york city with henrietta lacks' daughter and daughter-in-law and granddaughter.

there are posters that are up. >> i think there is a disgruntled family member. >> okay. >> well, you'll be part of -- >> welcome to the family. >> missy, you're cbs too. >> i have my first one tomorrow. >> congratulations. >> oprah, renee and rose, congratulations.

me. my curiosity took over. >> i know a lot of rich people will say to me if i knew exactly where the money was spent i would be theep pay more tax. i just don't know how to find out where the money goes. >> well it takes a little bit of work. there's more working to be done. i won pretend we got everything solved. there's more and more data we would like to add. more currency in the data. you want to know about spending, charlie, you know, i would say, nice little picture here that, you know, sort of straightens things out. >> that's an example of what you uncovered in this data. >> look, you want to look at the spending. there's the revenue, there's the spending. >> you said it's not about politics this is just giving

people the facts. nothing but the facts. what were southeast things that surprised you and why dew point to make sure we knew what facts were. >> most important thing that surprised me was to find this stuff in any digestible form. you do searches. you find various things. if you want to know gems, government employs 22.2 million people. i didn't know that. largest segment of work in the government, professors and people that work around schools. almost half of government employees are in the education system. that felt good to me as an example. fires. small one. but the number of fires over the last 37 years because we go back to 1980, the number of cease-fires down 30% or 40% while the population has grown 40%. that's great. >> what did you find out about guns? >> we have a lot we know about how many guns are made.

we have a lot -- because we only used government data. license made. actual estimate of gun ownership government is not allowed to participate in that under law. >> why? >> one would presume that there was work done, you know, kind of encouraging that with the legislation but the congress. >> how much money goes to nongovernmental organizations, people who are doing philanthropic work? >> it's interesting. officially none. on the other hand if you take a look, particularly at the money that goes into aid to the disadvantaged, a lot of that money gets essentially contracted out to not for profits. sometimes community health clinics. sometimes it would be sort of organization running a head start program. providing community services that provide social and emotional health services which is a big issue among d disadvantaged kids. >> this is nonpartisan.

>> nonpartisan. these are numbers. adjectives can get partisan. numbers can't. huge, small but one number might be ten, another is 11 but can you call it huge or small. >> how did you decide what facts you would put in your book? >> we started with the structure of the constitution. the preamble of the constitution lays out the mission of government and then we had a structure for submissions and then started pouring numbers in. there will be more things we want to add. we had two goals. we wanted to be comprehensive. we wanted to have great context. looking at numbers out of context, you know without any history, without any related numbers, we still don't comprehensionible. we wanted to have a structure and let people drill in as deep as they want to. i got asked a question what does it cost to run national park system. it's not in our database. on the other hand, we can tell

you how many acres of land are in the national park system or managed by the national forest service. we have that. we'll don't extend the database. >> didn't your lovely wife play a role with this. didn't you wake up after microsoft what am i going do with my life. she said philanthropy. and you went ahhh. >> i was pretty tired after i retired. okay i'll play along. and she said no, you're going to pitch in here on our philanthropic and civic stuff. in a sense at least in the social service area philanthropy only goes so far. many not for profits are funded by government funds in part. she pushed me on it. i said come on, we'll pay our taxes. that's the best way to take care of the poor, the young and old because if we don't believe in our government that's a bigger problem, actually than anything we can to philanthropically. i started to look at these topics and decided not only do

you need to have a view of what government does do in this area but what does government do with the rest of its money. what would it mean to increase taxes and decrease tax. any program that you care about, at least in my view you look at as a whole like you do in business. you don't say we'll fund this, fund this, you have to have some sense of a budget. >> game two tonight. >> one quick question about microsoft. you are now, i understand it, the largest stockholder in microsoft. >> yep. i don't have to disclose my holdings. maybe a mutual fund or two that are bigger. largest. >> what influence are you having on the company? >> largely my focus is elsewhere. whenever usa facts, product creation, year trying to figure out how to use some mfl visu visualization tools. feedback to microsoft on various product topics and talking about the future of entertainment.
