ambassador the u.n. issued a warning. >> it has created a dangerous situation in which a nuclear war may break out at any moment on the peninsula. >> reporter: question of what mr. trump will do next followed him to the white house easter egg roll. >> behave. >> reporter: question remains just what that next move will be. a state department official told reporters yesterday that the u.s. will not stand idly by and when asked about the possibility of u.s. strikes said we will -- we are committed to defending our people if necessary. >> all right thank you. now let's go adrian diaz who is in beijing with new information on the type of missile that north korea tried to test over the weekend. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. despite the vice president reiterating in japan that the u.s. is committed to the

denuclearization of the correspondekorean peninsula, north korea has other ideas. they displayed their largest weapons over the weekend. u.s. intelligence has not severe fiduciary duty if they are real. ic b ms are capable of reaching the continental u.s. but the north has never tested one. they tested police department of shorter range missiles including one sunday that exploded seconds after launch. u.s. officials believe it was a solid fuel medium-range 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 in the military parade this weekend were carried on chinese made ships. chinese made trucks rather. they could have been sold to north korea and repurposed. when asked about this today the chinese government said they are strictly complying with u.n. sanctions. though for the record chun's overall trade with north korea

so far this year is up nearly 40%. >> thanks so much. our national security analyst is a former homeland security adviser to president george w. bush. good morning. the testing of the ic b m if successful is a critical decision point for the president. >> that's right. look the good news is the most recent missile test failed. but they made significant progress. 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 we've seen and he's right. it's 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 do worry about kim jong-un

miscalculating the rhetoric. look, 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 has got this huge trade relationship. china has real ability to sort of impede the supply chain into north korea. there are banks, there are businesses. so china really does have tremendous leverage. can we grinning pyongyang to where they will use it. >> the chinese still pose the defense system in south korea. >> let's remember what china's strategic isn't it here. they don't want to see chaos in north korea but they also are not fans of a unified korean peninsula because what they don't want to see is u.s. military force on their border. so we have to understand what each country's strategic interest is and try to pray that

to our best advantage. >> for someone who knows these type of conversation, there's a lot of tough talk on both sides. what do you think is going on behind the scene? >> no question. you see the diplomatic effort playing out between the president, president trump and president xi. we ought to expect there's clandestine activity on both sides. north korea has cyber ability and the united states does as well as electronic warfare capability. while we don't understand the details of that, behind-the-scenes those sorts of plays are being made to try to influence. >> any evidence that chinese are changing just a bit? >> we saw them turn back the cold, but, you know, as we heard from margaret, trade supis up 4. the president said maybe they can't do much. i don't buy that. i think the chinese have tremendous leverage on trade, diplomacy, sanctions.

all sorts of things they can do. we better start to see that happen quickly. >> the president said he will soften up on trade if they do something with north korea. >> we need to see definite signs of chinese activity before he does that. >> always good to have you here. this morning democrats are trying to turn a congressional election in georgia into a referendum on president trump. 18 people are running for the 6th district seat. that's just north of atlanta. the national democratic party is backing a first time candidate john ossoff. the president is targeting him with phone calls and >> reporter: good morning. these democratic volunteers are getting ready for one last round of door knocking on election day and you know that the entire political world is focused on this election. when president trump himself tweets about it twice before 7:00 a.m.

on twitter that ossoff wants to protect criminal, allow illegal immigration and raise taxes and he cut this robocall. >> liberal democrats from outside of georgia are spending millions and millions of dollar trying to take your republican congressional seat away from you. >> more georgians have chipped into my campaign. >> reporter: ossoff has benefitted from a fractured republican field, 11 gop candidates competing against all five democrats today in what's known as a jungle primary. >> do you feel more pressure knowing that democrats across this country have invested their hopes in you? >> i feel so well supported by thousands of volunteers in this community. i want to make them proud. >> reporter: to win outright today ossoff needs to win 50% of the vote. that's a tall order in a gop district but what would be even tougher, charlie, would be a run off in june where all gop voters

contribution. >> her contribution is amazing. >> it's a story we can get so caught up in the science of it because it's still so 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 especially when you look at her family today and see all the things that they don't contribute two generations, three generations later. i think it's an empowering story that should inspire all of us to tell our stories to our children. >> i thought the same thing. rose, you play scoot, the author, the journalist, her dogged pursuit to tell the story, to form this friendship with deborah, to help her discover her mother. it's such a beautiful story. what did you learn in meeting with rebecca? >> rebecca is incredibly smart and incredibly determined and

when she has her mind on something she will get it. she's an impressive person. i got to spend quite a bit of time with her. she was very candid with me. she's very candid and shared a lot of stuff with me that's not in the book about her own personal life. >> i love how norah said formed this friendship with deborah because deborah is a little crazy and you had a bumpy journey to get to a place. >> understandable. she was paranoid. >> she had been abused. >> there are a couple of times when we were really sitting together being friendly george said no, no, no, too friendly. >> there's a great scene where she grabs you, deborah grabs you and throws you up against the wall and you tell her shut the [ bleep ] up. >> nobody said that to me in real life. >> there's a moment where you

i did this because i wanted to work with george and die this because when i first heard the tapes that rebecca skoot, the author of the book had of deborah, she had hours and hours of tapes, deborah actually wanted me to play her. >> oh, my gosh. >> i have the chills. >> did you watch the oprah show? that's what they did oprah. i can hear her voice saying that and i can hear her saying she wished i would perform -- first she wanted me to play her mother and then realized i was too old to play her so it would be better to play her. it feels prophetic. this coming to fruition is part of her dream. we always felt on set if anything went right or wrong, henrietta was there. >> telling this story is the immense contribution that henrietta lacks made to science but also a story of abuse. >> yes. >> the abuse of her and her

contribution not only taking her cells without her knowledge which now has been changed you have to get permission but not even acknowledging her, they tried to change her name. >> they didn't want anybody to know those were her cells and didn't want to be identified as this african-american woman. i think -- you think of all the people who had benefitted from her cells through, you know, medical science, a lot of them not knowing that this was an african-american woman's contribution that, you know, toledo 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 that i am. you know, it wasn't an intentional thing, charlie. you know, this -- i held this as a producer and had thought of other people who should have played the role and it's because of george and lynn who said you need to do it. when i heard the tapes of

deborah, okay i'll do it. 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? >> she was fantastic. >> we had a lot of late night scenes. >> we did. very conserving your energy and meditative throughout the whole process. >> rose would come in the morning because she had been up with the baby all night. rose is in the chair asleep. >> that's right. >> she had a late night with the baby. >> you got to come to die. that was the other thing. >> i'm funnier than most people know. laugh out loud roll over funny. i'm much funnier than i appear

member. >> okay. >> okay. >> you'll be part of us. >> welcome to the family. >> i have my first tomorrow. >> congratulations. >> congratulations.

angeles clippers owner steve ballmer's newest project tackles numbers far beyond the basketball court. the former environment is launches usa facts a comprehensive database for information about government. it combines federal, state and local data from more than 50 government sources. the database provides an in depth look at the american population, government finances and government's impact on society. steve ballmer returns to studio 57 to discuss this first of its kind project. welcome. >> thanks, norah. pleasure to be here. >> this is a massive endeavor. why did you commit to do this? >> i got interested in the context of learning about, you know, the way government serves kids who group in disadvantaged situations. and it was hard to find the numbers i was looking for. i thought, gee, if it was a company i would look for the 10-k. couldn't find anything like that. now government is not a business. it's measured on its impact not

on its p and l. i said it's not about finances it's also about impact. the 10-k format made sense to 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.

i bring in the context of basketball. where does virtual reality, augmented reality fit in. we're doing some work. >> can i talk about game two because we got to go. i want to know about game two because you'll be court side tonight. half the fun of going a clarps game -- going to a clippers game is watching you. >> i cannot sit there quietly and enjoy the game. i can enjoy the game but not quietly. i get graded on it. >> every time i've seen a plus plus. >> we got the jazz second game of our playoff series. we got a lot of work to do tonight. if we play fast and we play with the right spirit we'll win this puppy tonight. >> go chris paul. >> go clippers.
