backstage. >> jimmy: he had it on backstage at the honeywell factory, you know, where the workers get their hair and makeup done. backstage. clearly he did not wear a mask, and he's sitting there with a bunch of nurses, not wearing a mask, saying this. is it really a surprise? if there's one thing we learned from stormy daniels, wearing protection is not his concern. trump had an almost comically distant sit-down with david muir of abc news last night. there was enough room between them to park a bus. david muir asked him if he thought the election would be a referendum on how he handled the health crisis, he gave an interesting answer. >> nobody's ever done things like this. i hope it's not solely on this, because this is like rubber. it's very, very amorphous. >> jimmy: so he doesn't know what amorphous means, but go on. >> you know what? i hope in a certain way, i hope i can say this in a couple months, i any a certain way, our best work has been on what we've done on covid-19. but, but, we h

you were backstage at "hamilton," and explain to me this tradition that happens backstage at "hamiltongrammy? shots off -- >> "shots out the grammy." >> seth: "shots out the grammy." explain. >> so, daveed diggs, who played jefferson and lafayette -- >> seth: yes >> i saw that he was doing -- when they won their grammy, they were doing tequila shots like, anyone who came into his dressing room or their production office, he would have them do shots out the grammy so i got to go on lin, leslie, and phillipa's last night. >> seth: wow >> it was a big night. >> seth: big night >> and i -- the crew -- we were backstage, we were on stage, and i met jane fonda that night. >> seth: wow >> and made friends with troy garity, and his wife was like, "you met my mother-in-law? and i was like, "oh, have i met j -- no, i haven't met jane fonda before. [ light laughter ] so we were just chatting with people, and i saw daveed, and i' met daveed before, and i kind of know him so i went up to him. i said, "you were great as always." the only thing i regret from my run -- "my run" -- of "hamilton.

he says he did wear a mask off camera backstage.are joined by our chief medical correspondent dr. sanjay gupta and john harwood. sanjay, here's how the president explained why he didn't want to wear a mask touring this plant. watch this. >> well, i did wear. i had one on before. i wore one in this back area. i didn't want to give the press the pleasure of seeing it. where i had it in the back area i had a mask on. >> so what's that sort of example is the president in the united states setting, sanjay? >> well, he should be wearing a mask, wolf. i think most of the country gets that by now. we recognize he gets tested on a regular basis so that does offer a little bit of core. we know someone can test negative at some point and test positive the next day. we know that it's interesting, three of his top public health officials, the head of the cdc, the head of the fda, the head of the institute for infectious diseases all are on some quarantine because of potential exposure at the white house. the same exposure president trump has bee

he said he wore one backstage with goggles. he basically does not want to be seen on camera wearing a mask. that's what he told reporters there. that has been a fight inside the administration. some aids argue it's easier if he wears one. the talk to michigan is this reemergence of the manufacturing plant and not whether or not the president wore a mask. now he says he wore one backstage where there are no cameras. he did not wear one in front of reporters, he didn't want reporters to see him wearing a mask. that will be an emerging headline that comes out of this aids did not expect him to wear one in front of the cameras because of that and, of course, he did not. >> it seems an odd thing to worry about given the fact that reporters have been relaying that health officials think it would be a great idea for all leaders to wear them in public. i do not know why he would not want that image out there. thank you so much. appreciate it. >>> coming up, or actually right now in our national lead, a cry for help from the mayor of mo

i wore it backstage. this is not a reality show, you are president of the united states. today he said it was windy, blowing away from the high-risk group of veterans he was with. somebody show him how to put a mask on please, it goes around both ears, won't blow away. what does it mean for others when he doesn't wear a mask when he could have been exposed? one of our top doctors is here next. imagine what you would say about somebody else who did that. next. hill is irresistabale. children's claritin. feel the clarity and live claritin clear. (vo) what does it mean to be america's most reliable network? at verizon, it means putting those who serve first, with our best pricing ever. $30 per line for all nurses, teachers, first responders, military, and their families. because the people we rely on deserve a network they can rely on. if you have a garden you know, weeds are low down little scoundrels. with roundup sure shot wand you don't need to stoop to their level. draw the line. the sure shot wand extends with a protective shield to pinpoint those pesky bedfellows. it

it was nothing like feeling that energy >> when i'm able to meet fa fa a backstage. >> reporter: do youof that itch yesterday? >> definitely, to have a guitar in my hands and be on a stage felt extraordinary, felt like breathing again. >> god bless you guys. >> is >> a final note when we come back. outstanding nutrition with the power to change lives. this is purina pro plan liveclear. discover a new world ♪ discover what's good - pantene nutrient blends only roomba uses 2 multi-surface rubber brushes to clean all your floors. and with patented dirt detect technology, roomba finds dirt throughout your home. if it's not from irobot, it's not a roomba. it won't wait for a convenient time. or for hospitals to get back to normal again. that's why, at cancer treatment centers of america, we aren't waiting. we're right here, still focused on the only thing we do, providing world-class cancer care, all under one roof. because cancer isn't just what we do, it's all we do. cancer treatment centers of america. call now for an appointment. >>> and finally tonight, over these past turbulent months

there was a lot of backstage, behind the scenes information that i have not known about, but all of it was centered towards public events, and i'm wondering if you can tell us first, how do you become a press secretary to the first lady of the united states? give us your first impressions of nancy reagan. tate: well, i carefully planned the whole thing. not. named bobs a guy gray, who was well-known in republican circles, and he had taken a leave and gone over to the campaign as the communications director. he called me one day in mid december and said, "i need your resume, and i need it right away . there's a white house job that i think you qualify for, and i just want to put your name and -- your name in. -- your name in." he worked on the campaign. john robo calling for conyers. i got him a lot of money. [laughter] i sent him the resume, and he called me back and said, "the at blair house at 6:00," so i scrambled to make myself presentable. i started to figure it's got to be nancy reagan. i did not think it was ronald reagan because he had already named jim brady. i was so nervous

i wore one backstage, he said, as if this is all a reality show. why does it matter whether or not the president is wearing a mask? messaging aside. medicine only. >> i'm going to say both things, chris. messaging is terribly important. this is a big weekend. much of the country is opening up. the pizza parlor owners, the folks who run nail salons, the barbers, the beauticians, as well as the grocery stores that have been open. no one should go into any of those establishments who's not wearing a mask. and the personnel in those establishments should be wearing a mask when they deal with their clients. and the white house should be showing an example. this is very, very important. we need to protect our national leaders, absolutely. and that's why the staff inside the white house should, also, be wearing masks. you wear the masks to protect the people around you. >> now, one -- one point of pushback. one, you're right. the messaging matters, even in a medical capacity. you're right to make that point. thank you, doc. in terms of masks, you guys hav

. >> we talked backstage about 70 things. but in this book, what -- we talked backstage about so many things. in this book, what is in the book but not the exhibition? >> while number one what is in the exhibition but not the book are the live artifacts you can see up close. the book allows us to give more details, tip meat on the bounds of why there was a where one. why the entire world went to war in six weeks. -- why there was a world war i. also detail between the difference between that 92nd and 93rd division and why the 93rd and 369 and 370 and 371 and three 72nd was so important. you have that in the book. in the x mission, we have a few additional vignettes. -- in the exhibition. the difference is they both have a shelf life. the exhibitions shelf life will end on 14 june. this book, if you buy it, and as a shelf life that will be on your library forever. so that is a big difference between the book and the exhibition. the exhibition will leave and we will mount another very important exhibition. i will not say what i

i had it on back -- backstage. >> seth: okay.f all, it's a factory there is not a backstage "let's give those machines everything they've bargained for, boys. also, to trump everything is a beauty pageant he was probably expecting the machinists to be wearing sashes. "hi, i'm ted from tucson and well, i guess my talent is, i don't know making masks." "very good, ted, now, do a twirl. okay and now can we see the swimsuit portion of the factory is that nearby?" second, what do you mean you can't help it if we didn't see you? we saw you you weren't wearing a mask you were wearing goggles, which is notable, because it's very weird to see a renowned moron like trump wearing something a scientist wears in a lab it's like watching a dog use a calculator [ banging aroo but there is something much more revealing about this episode than just the fact that the president is a compulsive liar trump didn't need to wear a mask, because he and all the people around him have been tested for coronavirus which is obviously quite the luxury, a luxur

. >> we were talking about that backstage tj. edgar hoover fresh out of law school in this town and taking over the military insei intelligence. he said he was the most dangerous negro in america. so that's interesting. he's in part and maybe we are saying in terms of the title you picked and also what's in the exhibit that's not in here and vice versa. >> did you ask that question already? >> no. i do want to ask you though relative to we return fighting, that's a quote from dubois. >> yes. >> but randolph, i think they do brilliantly in this book, randolph is distinguishing himself from dubois. the conservative blacks, a lot of us and a lot of howard students out here tonight, they came to see you, brother, elaine lock is credited with the new negro. >> howard is like atlanta. everybody knows somebody that went to howard or worked in howard just like they know somebody in atlanta. but randolph is very critical of dubois and elaine lock, some of the conservative folks. and dubois himself, he writes to the war. why do you pick "w

. >> i spent so much time backstage just now i was almost late, signing autographs.st time-consuming is explaining to people who you are. >> it is i frederick c. trump. >> you know what you need? >> what? >> you need some chumba and some wumba. >> thanks for your help and directions getting here. you're right. the bus stops right in front. >> since you're here is there anything you'd like to say to donald directly? >> ooh, yes. listen, you little [ bleep ]. when you get down here i'm going to personally ask my friend satan, who's a great guy incidentally. >> jimmy: really? i'm having a little trouble believing this is you, justice ginsburg. >> oh, so you think i'm just a random loony who wandered in here, high as a kite off pain pills he stole from a dog? >> jimmy: yeah. maybe. kind of. >> bingo. >> it works like this. our thing hits the space thing. and whoa nelly. it just sort of skedaddles around and boopity beep bops off in another direction. planet saved. >> what if the pieces of the asteroid come hurtling toward earth and hit us? >> well, jimmy, i think we just

the president saying he had a mask on backstage. >> i can't help it if you didn't see me. i mean, i had a mask on but i didn't need it and i asked specifically the head of honeywell, "should i wear a mask?" and he said, "well, you don't need one in this territory." >> the president answering questions about whether he wore a mask in the factory. eva, we've been trying for some time to track when the virus may have first shown up in the u.s. there is new reporting and evidence tonight that it might have been circulating in florida back in december? >> reporter: that's right. florida health officials realized it appears the virus was already there. patients with possible symptoms going back to late december. the first reported symptoms in florida didn't come until march 1st. >> eva, thank you. >>> and tonight, we have news on coronavirus and possible mutations. scientists around the world and in the u.s. are trying to track this. is there one type of the virus more infectious than another? here's kaylee hartung. >> reporter: tonight, scientists tracking mutations of the coro

. >> we were talking about that backstage. a. phillip randolph said it -- i'm sorry, jay edgar hoover, fresh out of law school, said ai phillip randolph was the most dangerous negro in america, an open socialist. that's interesting. because he's, in part, we were just saying in terms of the title you picked, and also what's in the exhibit, that's not in here, and vice versa, we can get the housekeeping. i do want to ask you, relative to we return fighting, that's a quote from dubois. >> yes. >> but randolph, which i think they do brilliantly in this book, randolph was distinguishing himself from dubois. >> yes. >> and even as you narrate here, these conservative blacks, a lot of us and a lot of howard students are out here tonight, they came to see you, brother, elaine lock is credited. he was in douglas hall. >> i was professor of military science. >> yes, indeed. howard is like atlanta. everybody knows somebody that goes to howard or worked there, everybody knows somebody in atlanta. randolph is critical of not only dubois but

i did i think i was 15 or 16 when i was backstage at margaret show in vegas and an agent friend of hers came and looked at me and said you know i think you would be good in films and that's about all the thought i did but i said sure and then i stayed going on interviews and i got a couple song parts and then i met john derek for a film he was making and we ended up getting married so you call yourself a hippie when you're not put there at that age or a surf chick or what would you do what would you emmel yourself as yes sir. dropped out of school when and i play hooky and hitchhike to school when the waves are and my aspiration at that point was probably to work and serve shot or smoothies it just started as being a thing at all i would be a good smoothie maker in line well speaking to smoothies than john derek apples and that one i saw john recently in the broader crawford blanking right now but all that other place and yet he's so freaking handsome it's funny it was you as a young person john derek coming alive you must of. this is my knight in shining armor. it was really weird beca

backstage he can graduates the company. you. have this badly it is your reality so please. take care let it grow that it go in move let yourself grow as artists when you do it ok i will be thinking of you and it can be any moment i may come back and see what you're doing just simply care for ok i could be there any moment . if he sees dance as a form of human expression and its purpose above all is to convey a feeling. i don't care if you miss one step plan i don't kick you fall down but eat because you have a fantastic technique so it's not bob name moment is the equivalent of all of them is to is to project this this incredible pain inside it that you have listened to the create young about this year. thank you neal thank you very much thank you it was a great. new myers life is a whirlwind of premieres revivals and rehearsals his calendar is packed with engagements. today he's presenting his latest piece all feel billy d's to the press ahead of its premiere in hamburg it's a coproduction with us operas for no mire the challenge was to put the ballet and the opera on an e

not having conflict get out of control, there's a reason to collude in keeping secret or on the backstage and aspect of where which my drive escalation. the other byproduct of this is the open secrecy situation. i mentioned earlier, what i argue in the book is that seeing your adversary even after their covert intervention has been exposed to a certain extent, maintain that fiction that they are not involved, can become a sort of grammar or communicative mechanism to say, they still want to keep this under control. that provides a logic for why open secrets can be useful. in the book, i develop this argument and make a historical -- a broad historical claim and a series of chapters devoted to individual conflicts. the overall historical coverage of the book starts with world war i. the end book is the u.s. occupation of iraq, 10 years ago. world war i, i make an argument about how the nature of escalation, or the appreciation of how a situation works changed after world war i. this medication became much more salient. the destructiveness of a conventional nonnuclear, but conventional, glo

so they had this kind of backstage knowledge.ut i often found that the people you interview, it's important for, it's important to go in there knowing that you know more about them today, do not necessarily to say oh this is the horses mouth, as it were, so therefore i will hear everything unfiltered. warren distinguished. sometimes if you throw stuff out the more you contradict them, you get some interesting stuff out of them. >> did you find it sometimes your best interviews are people that are not used to being interviewed if you interview celebrities you ask a question, i remember when i dealt with jack dempsey, i would ask a question, he would never really answer a question it would remind him of another question but give me a stock answer, he'd given 1 million times before. and they are used to protecting their persona where is if you're interviewing somebody like a makeup artist, they are not used to being interviewed. sometimes i think you get better stories. did you find that? >> sometimes i also find if you have some so

>> not long, i had it on backstage. but they said you didn't need it. and if you notice nobody else had it on that was in the group. >> we saw the workers wearing them. >> president trump: yes, the workers had them because they are working next to each other. >> did you -- social distancing and not wearing masks? >> president trump: i can't help that. look, i'm trying to be nice and signing a bill and you criticize us. look, here's the story. there's nothing i can do to satisfy the media, the democrats, or the fake news. and i understand that. we did the greatest mobilization and history with the ventilators and i don't think there was a story. we are helping germany and many other countries, france and spain and italy, by the way, and nigeria, sending 252 nigeria, ventilators. the cupboards were bare. people have no idea. there's not a thing i can do to satisfy the fake news and there's not a thing i can do to satisfy democrats. i watch this phony chuck schumer, everyone in new york knows he's a total phony. he brought nothing back to new york except s

he invites will ferrell and lauren michaels to come down to the library and there sitting around backstageu strategery. and michael's and carol looked at each other and say we tell him? mister president, we made that up and bush was crushed. he thought he had said it. and then he fought back and said youdidn't make up miss underestimated . so it's what did you say? >> what i was trying to say in my louisiana language was that music has a way of crossing all boundaries and one of the songs that i noticed when i sing that, no matter what i audience aui'm singing is when i sing a song live like you are dying and that's one of the songs i feel like i'm very privileged and blessed to be the vessel for that song and i don't feel like that's my song, that's a song that's meant for everyone and everyone finds a way to relate to that and i'm fortunate, thank you. i'm fortunate in my career and able to have songs like that a, it's one of my repertoire and as an audience that is ultimately what you want to do is move people to bring people together in a way that they might not have been brought toget

companies who are not selling any tickets but for the workers, the artists, actors, musicians, folks backstagere all out of work. if their work was tied to a performance there are no performances and they don't have work. >> i am glad you mentioned all those individuals. it's not just the actors. those who do costumes and set construction. back on march 20 and it's my understanding you started this performing arts worker relief fund and how much of you raise and how much have you given out to those individuals that have been impacted in the theater. >> we started this seven weeks ago and we are working in conjunction with their sisters organization that serves the dance community and serves musicians together. we have raised $200 thousand. most of that is from individual people and we have a hundred $80 thousand of that money into the hands of the workers who need it. most of the grants are around $1000 and they said this is what is keeping a roof over their head in the food on the table one or two already had gotten covid and use money to buy medicine they needed to recover from the pandemic.

i don't know if you ever run into each other backstage. >> i simply can't explain the coincidence, stephenry quick rudy with -- rudy poem, and i even have an illustration for it. it refers to him as a weather vane. so here's the illustration. it's rudy pointing in the wrong direction on a weaer v, he, in fact, does look uncannily like me. >> stephen: he really does. the poem is called rabid rudy. what goes on with rabid rudy, monster of ineptitude-y. dumpty's spinning weather vane botched his mission in ukraine, mixing bribes and dirty tricks, he soiled our geopolitics. filled with rage and babbling bluster, america's mayor has lost his luster. some of them are long and some of them are short. >> stephen: i love it. i love it. i want to read you a quote from noted wise man john lithgow. he gave this advice to actors -- have something in your life that is all yours, some creative thing that doesn't depend on somebody else hiring you. what did you mean by that, and did you always follow your own advice? >> well, it's a hard profession because it's a profession that absolutely depends on you

he had it on backstage he said, couldn't wear it around the elderly veterans because it was blowing off. what is the reality of what we need there? >> guidance is should be wearing a mask in proximity of people where you can't physically distance. that's it. frankly we're getting into a situation now where people probably want to wear masks in public, period. it's a very contagious virus. we are still, you know, having many people who become infected, obviously, and we need to do everything we can to try and slow down the spread. this is all i can say. people are going to say, well, i was 6 1/2 feet away, trying to find loopholes, we can do that. remember a conversation with you a couple of months ago, people saying it's okay to be running in close proximity to people on the embarcadero, that's fine. because it says exercise outside but they weren't keeping physical distance. now seems silly to have done that. three weeks from now idea we're arguing about hair salons and wearing masks is going to seem silly. we're focusing on the trivial aspects. wear a mask, people should get tested, w

they had this backstage knowledge. i find the people you interview, it is important to go in there knowing that you may know more about them than they do, and not necessarily to say oh, this is the horses mouth, as it were, so therefore i will hear everything unfiltered. sometimes, the more you throw stuff out, the more you contradict them, you get more interesting stuff out of them. >> do you sometimes find that your best interviews are people that are not used to being interviewed? if you interview celebrities -- you ask questions -- i remember when i dealt with jack dempsey. i would ask him a question and it would remind him of another question, and he would never answer the question, but give me a stock answer he heard many times before. they give you their persona. but like a makeup artist, they are not used to being interviewed. sometimes i think you get better stories. do you find that? >> sometimes. i also think if you have some sort of documentation you can present them with. i did american masters on richard

how they would traditionally happen, which is on stage, all appearing at events together, get time backstagewith the families. it's a much more complicated process this go-round, but one that still very much relies on chemistry. >> tiffany, do you have a sense in talking with -- i know there's no classes right now, when you talk with young black women and men, when you talk with people in the world through your work that you do, is there a preference? we saw stacey abrams sort of looking like an audition last night. there's a lot of talk about elizabeth warren being a very popular pick for a lot of people, including some black people. there's a lot of talk about kamala harris. do people have a preference, or is it just that he's making that statement that black women are important enough to reward with this position? >> so i think two things can be true. one, yes, i think there is a preference. and i think that overwhelmingly black voters -- it's not a question of how black are you, but how black are your policies? how does your platform speak to me? that's first and foremost. two also, i th

and maybe there's a little less enthusiasm for following the lockdown, modi has played more of a backstagee. maybe because he's aware that people aren't so happy with us anymore. but overall, you know, indians are still following the rules much better than in many other parts of the world. >> well, the fear, of course, is that if first world countries like the united states can't get on top of the coronavirus, what hope do third world countries like india have? do you think that calamity may be on the horizon in india despite the fact that everyone is abiding by the rules for now? >> it's really hard to tell. and you know, none of us want to kind of be spreading any more doom and gloom and making people depressed than we have to. so far india has not reported that many cases per capita. there's something around 40 to 45,000 cases right now in a country of 1.3 billion people. that's nowhere close to what spain or italy or the uk or the u.s. has reported per capita. there's fewer tests though done in india, so we don't really know the situation out there, how pervasive this various has sprea

published by the detroit free press shows the president wore a cloth mask with the presidential seal backstage away from the media. >> joining us now is democratic senator gary peters of michigan. thanks for being with us. why do you think the president is playing this game of pandemic hide and seek? >> it's hard to know why he's doing that. but i think really what it demonstrates is a lack of leadership. we expect our leaders to lead by example. it's a fundamental concept of leadership. i served in the u.s. navy reserve and in the military you learn, if you're in charge of folks, you lied by example. you show the -- lead by example. you're willing to follow the rules and willing to go the extra distance and willing to be out there and to have a president that says, well, i wear it in hiding. yet, when i'm out with the public i don't. that's not leadership. that's not leadership by example. it's interesting, the folks around him, the senior executives, the leaders of the company, all of them had the mask on. the men and women who work at the plant and i work with them and the uaw, they're conc

so thank you very much for that sort of backstage pass. >>> back here, steven mnuchin says the unemployment rate in the u.s. could go as high as 25%. so will americans see more financial relief or not? as homes become schools. at&t has created a $10 million dollar fund to help educators and families keep school in session. because the key to keeping kids learning, is keeping kids connected. "show me what you're made of." so we showed it our people, sourcing and distributing more fresh food than anyone... our drivers helping grocers restock their shelves. how we're helping restaurants open pop-up markets. and encouraging all americans to take out to give back. adversity came to town. so we looked it in the eye. and it won't be us... that blinks first. >>> we just want to make sure that before we jump back in, and spend another few trillion of taxpayer money that we do it carefully. >> i think that it is premature given the $9 trillion of aid that passed to the last three phases, given that that is still out there, there is still a bunch of it and it is going to be delivered over the next mon

he says he wore one briefly in arizona this week before later removing it at our back backstage. they said you didn't need it. cnn has also learned today that the cdc prepare detail guidelines for reopening the country. but the white house rejected them and asked for changes. the guidelines put together by health experts offered more details about reopening schools, churches and restaurants. but administration official told cnn the white house felt they were overly prescriptive because guidance in rural tennessee shouldn't be the same as guidance for urban new york city. the press secretary reiterated this week that the white house once governors to implement their own guidelines. we have this beautiful concept called federalism which means that the state's lead on this. >>the trump administration is speeding up the process of sending back immigrants who are apprehended at the u.s. mexico border is part of a public health order that has been in place since march an extended now through may the 20th border agents apprehended nearly 16,000 people last month all but about 1400 of th
