overindexed on the "washington post" tonight, i would like to begin with you with i note what is an npr/pbs/marist poll out tonight. and in plain english it says 65% of us think this is going to be our life for the next six-plus months. i don't know how to ask this. how about lawmakers not named donald trump? is this sinking in more widely than would be believed? >> certainly if you look at our poll or any number of other polls, people are concerned. and people are concerned about a second wave. about 75% of people in our poll are concerned there will be a second wave. and if you dig in deeper into the numbers in our poll, you find there are partisan differences, that democrats and independents are more concerned than republicans. democrats and independents think that this new normal is going to last longer than republicans think. and also that african-americans, gen x-ers and college-educated women are more concerned than some other demographics. >> and robert costa, in the midst of a pandemic we had something familiar today that you and i have talked about on this broadcast so many ti

i this weekend went on fox news, my friends on fox news, i've been on npr with my friends at npr. you know anyone says to me before and in my year now when i'm waiting to go on? one thing that both sides agree on is the way we talked talk th other right now is disgusting. it's disgusting. we are doing it wrong. we are doing it wrong. we need to do better. we need to defer to "the better angels of our nature." i'll be give one last thought and then mark and i will answer any questions you have and we will talk about new things as well but i think one of the things that's important as a put together this book is you get to see -- we all know abraham lincoln at the end of the story. we know at the emancipation proclamation, we know he went to the civil war. he is saint lincoln almost by the time and, of course, when he takes a bullet in the head, becomes even more so. what i love about this story, this is abraham lincoln at the beginning of the story. he's making mistakes. you'll see in doubt himself. when he gets the nomination to be president, do you know what he's doing? he's in a

. >> woodrf: even as states are trying to reopen the economy, a new pbs newshour/npr/marist poll found 77% of americans worry about a second wave of infections yet to come. this comes as computer-based models suggest the u.s. will pass its own grim milestone by june-- 100,000-plus deaths. that higher projection is arriving even sooner than some of the models estimated just weeks ago. but models are not crystal balls. the work that goes into making them-- and their ultimate rpose-- is more complicated than you might be able to tell from the headlines. miles o'brien explains, in his latest report for our ries, "the leading edge." >> reporter: we live in a complicated world, filled with more data than insight. finding a patho clarity is not easy-- even on a good day. and these are not good days. so how can we take a huge amount of data and make it understandable, so we can see the future? >> you can't believe every number that comes out. but if we don't try to formulate our thinking about a complex process, then we'll be running blind. >> reporter: betz halloran is an infectious disease m

and tamara keith of npr. she also co-hosts the "npr politics podcast." hello to both of you. tam, let me start with you and bring up somethingt we puhing uch earlier in the eprm country, the president, pushing the country to reopen asmut thes away from the health side of this pandemic. but u've got peple who work at the white house coming down with co id,sting positive for covid. how does that complicate whatter in's trying tdo? >> it certainly complicates theg meg. you know, the way the white house has been dealing with the safety of its own empyees has been too rely very heavily on testing in the las.t month or to rely much more heavily on testing than on social distancing. though testing that is not widely available for the rest of the public.la most wors don't have a test that they could just administer ts ye c in.ovemee pso tlohe white e houase has ine a lot of measureat you can probably expect to see at workplaces if and when peo begin returning to them, things like people wearing masks in the west wing. >> woodruff: and amy, how does it complicate white house efforts t

and tamara keith of npr. she also co-hosts the "npr politics podcast." hello to both of you. d before i turn to yo, i want to let you listen some of what president trump had tsao y at this fox townhall last night. ed also some of what biden townhall that had to do with helping essential workers,th particularly ilatino community. let's listen both of those and i will come back. you-- make more money, frankly, i think that will happen. i think we will have an incredible following y r. we will to a transition in the third quarter nd we're going to see things happen that look good, i really believe i have a good fee this stumplet have i done it for a long time. >> i have put out a detailed plan about what ik we should be doing right now to support our front line workers and address the disparities we're saying with covid-19 impacts all across the country. and i truly think that if we do this right, we have an incredible opportunity to not just dig out of this crisis but to fundamentally transform the country. >> woodruff: so amy, i'm going to come to you first. you have the presi

thankfully joining me is nina toten berg, npr's correspondent. thanks for making the time. >> and it's a pleasure to be here and to actually be able to have put on a little bit of make up. >> well, for me, you never have to although i appreciate it. >> the radio i definitely don't have to. >> that is fair enough. this is what attracted me to radio in the first place. let me just ask you as i just set up what i saw today in those hearings and what i think is at stake in these cases, let me just ask you to steer me right and correct me if i laid that out in a way that's naive or wrong. >> i think you basically have it right. the two things that are missing from what you said is that they didn't subpoena the president. neither congress nor the grand jury in manhattan subpoenaed the president. they subpoenaed the accounting firm and deutsche bank and the capital one bank, i think, all of which have information that they think is relevant to their investigations. now, normally this is a pretty straightforward thing. when you subpoena a third party, th

and tamara keith of npr. she also co-hosts the "npr politics podcast." hello to both of you. so here we have the two presidents. but i want to preface this, amy, by saying today attorney general william bar stated and we aired th earlier in the program, that he does not expected there to be criminal prosecution of either former president obama or former vice president joe biden, presume bleef over the russia investigation and yets that is what one of the main things president trump has been going after president obama, vice president biden over. any idea why right now president obama appeared to pick this moment to respond? >> well, it is interesting, judy, you're right that president obama using the one time we have seen him on this platform as you said for graduates to make a not so vailed swipe at president trump. but it was also, i thought interesting this weekend, we saw a story in "the washington post" that said the biden campaign is working very hard to baiferl turn the other cheek. they don't want to fall into the trap that so many other politicians since the rise of

i this week have been on fox news, npr with my friends at npr. you know everyone says to me in the green rooms before it in my ear now when i'm waiting to go on. the one thing both sides agree on is the way we talk to each other right now is disgusting. we are doing it wrong, we are doing it wrong and we need to do better, we need to deter to the better angels of our nature. one last thought and we will answer any questions we have and talk about new things as well but one of the things that's very important is you get to see come we all know abraham lincoln at the end of his story, after the emancipation proclamation he went to win the civil war. he is saint lincoln almost by that time it when he takes a bullet in the head becomes even more so but what i love about the story is this is abraham lincoln at the beginning of his story, making mistakes, you will see him doubt himself, when he gets the nomination to be president he's in an alleyway playing handball. is just a guy and i love him for that. i love that he goes to see -- he wants to go ho

a lot of the process of creating a show for the radio had to do with basically approximating the npr sound. it had to do with getting the show to sound like -- there's a lot goes into how many times one reads a script, whether to do a retake on jokes that come off extemporaneously and then trying to get that magic happen for take two and three. and thankfully we arrived in terms of our own legs in podcasting at a less varnished sound that i think is more honest as a listening experience goes. we're in an environment last i heard this may have been two month old data which had gone up by 100%. there were 400,000 podcasts out there. having "backstory" that exists in the top 1% of podcasts, still something people wanted to tune into, that means a challenge of coming up with compelling topics and finding the news topics. some ways the most exhausting thing the first year on "backstory" is it coincided with the arrival of the trump administration in january of 2017. so we spent week after week after week with no shortage of things to offer deep contextual views of, muslim bans, transgende

this is a story from npr just under a year ago, where they are using high-level gis to aggregate points down to a heat map, to find out where hot incident spots are in africa. as quotes say in the article, there is appreciation this epidemic is less homogenous than imagined. the story is changing. you can see the number of people in need of treatment and where most people are concentrated, and it is shifting over time. folks, that is our story. the only thing that is constant is change we talk about how things change over time. gis is helping us better grasp of those things. i don't want to go to gissy on you, what i will, because i love gis. think of our phones, we have gps locations, track friends, parents, watch pizza deliveries come to our house, they are using gps coordinates to tag addresses that they don't have addresses for. they are collecting reports from health centers and geo-tagging those and mapping the data. there is a fascinating story on the dustbowl where they mapped out the growth of the dustbowl by mapping out newspaper stories. it is not just information, you can ma

a lot of the process of creating a show for radio had to do with approximating that npr sound. so the strategies in the booth had a lot to do with getting our show to sound like this american life or prairie home companion, car talk. there is a lot that goes into many times when you read the script, whether or not you do retake on jokes that might have come off russia extemporaneously and try to get that magic to happen again for take two and three. and thankfully we have arrived in terms of our own legs in podcasting at a much less varnished sound that i think is much more honest as a listening experience goes. we're in an environment now where last i heard, this may have been like two-month old data which we have probably gone up by at least 100% that we are 400,000 podcasts that are out there. having backstory which exists in the top 1% of all podcasts will still be something that people want to tune into means there is a challenge coming up with compelling topics and really finding the news cycle. in some ways the most exhausting thing about that first year on backstory was

[ indiscernible ] howard: mike pence pretending to carry empty boxes of ppes into a hospital is the perfect metaphor for who he is and what he's doing, a big box of nothing. howard: that was picked up by andrea mitchell who said what can we say, fake photo op. but the video was edited, failing to show others laughing at the obvious joke. kimmel offered a semi mea culpa. andrea mitchell, glad we asked. turned out he was joking. maybe check first next time. cbs this morning has taken down part of a story on a drive-through virus testing situat
