so from-- where did the musical, you know, concept come from, if you're motivated by dick gregory? dick gregory was a speaker. he was a man who organized movements. why did you do it through music? well, my earliest recollection of music is always in my household. my mother listened to motown, stax, atlantic, from roberta flack, aretha franklin, stevie wonder, you know. "chuck, do your chores." and you've got music playing, just, you know, seeping into your bloodstream and ear stream. and my father liked jazz here and there. but i was mainly into sports. i was into the organization of sports, and a lot of black folks made strong inroads into sports, and that captivated my interests. and the whole hip-hop thing that hit me in the middle of the 1970s got me into the music, because it was the technical aspect of it. technology. two turntables, a mixer, a microphone. i was totally confused. i was like, "why do they need two turntables? in case the one over there breaks down?" [laughter] "this person is very prepared." but that struck me as being, you know, something to get involved wit

it's interesting that gregory wallace, an african american man, was supposed to play mr. oge, an excentric neisei who likes literature. i thought it would be an interesting thing to do. but after a while we did a reading and we realized as good an actor as gregory is, it was pushing his limits for him to play a japanese american character in the late 40's. >> i imagine him as being much older. >> in the course of writing the play and using various actors, he became younger. this chinese actor is more like a character in his mid to late 30's, excentric, a career bachelor who is into russian literature and who fashions himself kind of patterned after the japanese artists of the 30's and 40's. he has round sort of glasses and a braid. but getting back to the question of creating characters, for example african american characters, i'm also caution -- i had written another play called johann that was about an african american gi and a japanese wife that got married in post war japan. i wrote that play 20 years ago. i wouldn't do it for about 8 years or so because i just didn'

david gregory, from "meet the press." spending a long night with us, after getting up early for "meet the press." david, let's continue a conversation we started earlier. the changes to american life, try totally them up, the foreign policy, caused by the attack that was launched by osama bin laden. >> i am looking at the images that you have been describing aptly, back at the white house. i think back to 9/11, running outside of the white house, in fear that it was the target of another hijacked airliner. this is an amazing photo. to see the crowd good morning. a young manual, a freshman at the university said he saw students five miles from the white house, running toward the white house. it occurs to me that part of that change was for a generation of americans for whom 9/11 was a childhood nightmare. i call them kids. these are young people, maybe 20 you no. 10, 12 years old when 9/11 happened. for my young children this is something i describe to them, i don't want them to be as scared as they were then. the emotiona

just because while newt was on this week's "meet the gregory" he seems to support the requirement that everyone buy health insurance in obama care. >> i have said consistently we ought to have a requirement to have insurance or post a bond or indicate you'll be held accountable. >> that's the individual mandate, is it not? >> it's a variation. >> stephen: yes, just like wife flee say variation of wives one and two. of course, newt's honesty so alarmed the beltway crowd they took off the belts and spanked newt's ass until it was so pink and swollen it looked like newt's face. jim? >> i think the number one thing you don't want to do when you start a campaign is alienate your political base. >> newt gingrich has cleaning up to do if he's going to get his campaign rolling again. >> he blew himself up not just as a candidate but in a real sense as a republican. >> jon: wrong. newt can't blow up any further. he is already inflated to maximum pressure.

>> you listen to the question david gregory asked me i should have said i'm not going to answer it. > stephen: yes, no one has any reason to be upset about newt's ideas because we're not supposed to know what they are. besides newt granted himself full immunity from himself. >> let me say on the record any ad which quotes what i said on sunday is say falsehood. >> stephen: right. any accurate quote of what newt said are falsehoods about what newt said because -- >> i have said publicly those words were inaccurate. >> stephen: so -- [laughter] -- the more accurate you are about his inaccuracies, the more false you'll become -- i need some help.

david gregory set him up with an easy one. what do you think of paul ryan's medicare. >> should the republicans change medicare? yonch think right wing social engineering is any more desirable than left wing social engineering. i don't think imposing radical change from the right or the left is a very good way for the society to operate. >> jon: wow appealing to the moderate wing of the republican party, a wing closed for renovations. [laughter] i'm sure they respect the gravitas. >> he detonated his campaign on sunday. >> does he want to be nominated by the republican party. one wonders. >> he was never a likable guy. >> this is a capital offense. >> how can i say this politely? he was urinating inside the family circle.

i'm david gregory in washington, in tonight for brian williams. the buildup to today's oval office meeting between the president and israel's prime minister, benjamin netanyahu had all the trappings of a showdown rather than the meeting between stalwart allies. and one day after obama urged palestinians and israelis to agree to a palestinian state with the pre-1967 borders as a starting point, the israeli leader made it clear he was not on board. this was more than an awkward day of diplomacy as ramifications for the unstable middle east and political implications for the 2012 campaign here at home. we begin our coverage with chuck todd. >> reporter: good evening, david. the president did a diplomatic dance today. he was trying to bridge the rhetorical divide with the israeli prime minister. it was no easy task. 24 hours after igniting a mini firestorm with the leader of israel, the president tried to cool tensions. >> obviously, there are some differences between us, and the precise formulations and language. and that's going to happen between fr

kurt gregory, nbc news. >>> despite the fact that it seems like every other car in the bay area is a prius, the bay area may be the exception to the rule. there is pretty strong evidence out there that americans just aren't buying into an idea that was supposed to save gas and save the environment. more from nbc's chris clackum. >> reporter: so you think with gas prices this high that sales of hybrid or electric cars would really get charged up. but think again. so far they make up only 2% of all vehicles sold in the u.s. now we do see that moving up to about 8 to 9% by 2016. but by no means is that going to become the predominant choice for consumers in the car market. just last month, general motors sold only 500 of its plug-in compacts, the chevy volt, while april sales of its gas compact, the cruze, topped 25,000. research by marketing firm j.d. power and associates found a not so surprising reason. the sticker price. case in county, chevy's cruze is priced about $16,000. the volt, $41,000. nissan's electric leaf is $33,000, while a decked out gas versa $13,000. of course, tax cr

gregory brown sees bigger potential in the government side of the business, despite budget cuts. >> i think, diane, what we've been pleased with is, even though there are headwinds in government spending, not all government spending is equal. and, there is a high priority on national security. there is a high priority on interoperable, mission-critical communications, which has afforded us the ability to perform and reinvest and grow. >> reporter: with that in mind, what are governments buying right now? >> they want to make sure they have interoperability, so fire police, ambulance, local, state, municipal can have interoperable communications on the voice side. equally important though. and the united states is evaluating-- and congress is evaluating-- giving more spectrum to the first responder community in the u.s. it is critical that that happens. >> reporter: let's talk about the enterprise side. retailers continue to struggle. are you seeing evidence there is a turnaround in those businesses? are they willing to spend money again? >> we're definitely seeing that they're looking
