All of the residents here and associates of the nursing home are being monitored. About 100 people live here. Were told if anyone has a temperature, shortness of breath or a cough, theyre being put into isolation. George . Okay, kaylee, thanks very much. We want to get more on the travel screenings going in effect for people returning to the u. S. From countries with high number of coronavirus cases. Maggie rulli in london with those details. Good morning, maggie. Reporter george, good morning. Were seeing some Surprising New numbers out of china this morning. They have reported their lowest number of covid19 cases in more than a month, at 125. Now the second largest outbreak is in south korea with cases now topping 5,000. Just today the countrys president declared a war on covid19. Italy has also seen a jump in cases and all of this has led the u. S. To put some severe travel restrictions in place. As of just a few hours ago, all passengers coming into america on direct flights from italy or south korea will undergo multiple screenings before they can leave those countries. The checks will be organized by foreign airports, but the white house has also said that people would be screened again when they arrive back in the u. S. , but as of now, there are not any details about how those screenings would actually work. Now, guys, whats also still unclear is what happens to people who are flying indirectly to america from these countries, but have a layover in a different city. Now, with all of this unknown, Many Airlines are starting to offer travel waivers. Delta is now offering these waivers for any international destination. George . Okay, maggie, thanks very much. Were joined by dr. Anthony fauci, the director of the National Institute of infectious diseases, the top expert on that subject. Thanks for joining us. Weve reported on these latest numbers in the u. S. And were starting to see this Community Spread as you have been warning. I know theres so much we dont know but help everyone set expectations. How many more states and how many more people are likely to be affected in the United States . You know, george, you really cant give any kind of reasonable guess except to say very likely will be more and the reason we say that is the very fact and concept that you have Community Spread means that the source of these infections are not entirely known. People are cropping up in the community with infections and you cant really trace where they got it so the best you can do and this is what the cdc is doing together with the state and local Health Authorities is to then take that person who you know is infected and do the Contact Tracing to try and get the individuals with whom they came in contact with. But a prediction of the numbers is very, very difficult to do that accurately, george. And i know youre ramping up the testing as well. But is it time to start it and maybe you have surveillance testing even trying to capture people who arent showing symptoms so we can get a better sense of how far its spread in the community . Thats a very good point, george, and thats exactly whats starting to be done right now. Now that we have many, many more tests that are available, unlike a little while ago, whats going to be happening is that people are going to get the kind of screening where they may come in with a respiratory illness, and if they dont have the flu, test them and see, and if you do that, you may get a feel for if there are people under the radar who are there in the community who do have coronavirus. Thats going to be markedly racheted up by the cdc. Another big question how this will be treated. Whether a vaccine will be available. President trump spoke out on that yesterday. Lets take a look. We had a great meeting today with a lot of the Great Companies and theyre going to have vaccines, i think, relatively soon. And theyre going to have something that makes you better and thats going to actually take place, we think, even sooner. So its a lot of good things are happening. What exactly is the president talking about there . When do we expect to have a vaccine, and what is this treatment he seems to be talking about . Two things, george. First, a vaccine with regard to initial testing for safety, well likely do that within the next month and a half, six weeks or so. But once you determine test safety thats going to take at least three or four months. If you then establish it in order to prove that it works, its going to take another six to iegt eight months . So were at least a year away . At least a year away. The idea what the president was saying about the treatment is true because there are treatments now that are being tested in randomized controlled trials in china as well as here in the United States, for example, at the university of nebraska. We could know within a period of a few months, maybe in early summer, late spring whether those therapies work. If they do, unlike a vaccine, you could make them immediately available. Dr. Fauci, thanks for joining us this morning. Good to be with you. Robin . And george, now we turn to super tuesday, the most crucial day so far in the race for the white house. Voters going to the polls in 15 contests. A third of the delegates up for grabs and four major candidates still in the race. Overnight, those candidates out campaigning until the last minute. Joe biden surging after that big South Carolina win hoping to overtake Bernie Sanders as a frontrunner. Eva pilgrim is in dallas where last night joe biden picked up four major endorsements from three of his former rivals. Good morning, eva. Reporter good morning, robin. A show of unity and force. Pete buttigieg, Amy Klobuchar and beto orourke, not just endorsing joe biden, but traveling here to stand next to him. Overnight from competitors to a coalition. Folks, this is a team. Reporter in a matter of just hours, two of joe bidens biggest rivals for the nomination, senator Amy Klobuchar and Pete Buttigieg, becoming two of his most powerfuleisu biden, lastminute critical boost. Buttigieg walking side by side with biden at a Campaign Stop after ending his own run. Im looking for a president who will draw out what is best in each of us and im encouraging everybody who is part of my campaign to join me because we have found that leader in Vice President , soontobe president , joe biden. Reporter on an electric stage klobuchar officially closing her campaign at bidens rally calling on voters to come together in support of the former Vice President. If you are tired of the extremes, you have a home with me. And i think you know you have a home with joe biden. Reporter former candidate beto orourke also backing biden. We need somebody who will fight for democracy here and abroad because democracy is under attack here and abroad. We need joe biden. Reporter and no question there has been a massive momentum shift. Now biden telling me he doesnt need to win today, but he does need to stay within striking dance. His campaign saying their goal is to win delegates in every single super tuesday state. Amy . All right, eva pilgrim. Thanks so much, and going into this super tuesday, yes, joe biden, showing momentum, but Bernie Sanders remains the frontrunner, and Martha Raddatz has more from sanders hometown of burlington, vermont, one of the states voting today. Good morning, martha. Reporter good morning, amy. They are already voting lining up at 7 00 a. M. This is Bernie Sanders home state here in vermont and he will be voting here in this polling place today. He goes into super tuesday with very strong numbers. He has money. He has organization. And strong support especially with young voters. He feels very strongly that he will take california which is, of course, the biggest prize and he is cautiously optimistic about texas as well. Despite bidens huge win in South Carolina, Bernie Sanders is not changing his strategy at all. He criticized joe biden heavily last night at a rally in minnesota calling him part of the political establishment. But he had very kind words for klobuchar and buttigieg trying to welcome his voters to the sanders campaign. Good luck there, right, george . Thats right. Martha, thanks very much. Cecilia vega will be down in miami where Michael Bloomberg will meet with voters. Cecelia, he spent 500 million already. Will he do well enough to stay in the race today . Reporter yeah, well, george, that depends on what happens today. You know its a strategy that has never been tested before. Bloomberg skipped those early contests to focus on todays super tuesday and the numbers you said it just astounding so far. He has already spent more than 500 million of his own money on this race, on ads in super tuesday contests alone he has spent more than twice of what all his democratic rivals have spent combined, but it remains to be seen if this is a winning strategy. He has struggled with women. He has struggled with voters of color, and of course, he had that disastrous first debate. He says hes the guy who can take on donald trump. They have not shied away from going headtohead on twitter but, george, bloomberg is facing serious questions about whether he should drop out because he could be siphoning moderates away from joe biden. Lets see what kind of delegates he picks up tonight. Cecelia, thanks. Lets bring in jon karl for more on this. Elizabeth warren is still in the race a shes facing a fair amount of pressure from progressive allies of Bernie Sanders to get out. Absolutely. The argument from the progressives to Elizabeth Warren is, look, the centrists are coalescing around joe biden. Its time for progressives to coalesce around Bernie Sanders. But, look, the play for Elizabeth Warren here is to win delegates and hope for a contested convention and bring those delegates in and be a force in milwaukee. But, george, heres the key thing, two of her home states are voting today, oklahoma where she grew up, massachusetts that she represents in the senate. She has to at least win one of those states to show that she can win somewhere. Youd have to imagine. As we head into tonight as well, the magic number for delegates is 1,991. Thats the number of delegates the candidate will need to win on the first ballot. Well have a real understanding tonight of whether someone can get there or we arre headed to contested convention. No question about it, and Bernie Sanders is the one that can pull away tonight. Bernie sanders won in the west, won in the midwest, won in new england. Bernie sanders led in the polls in many of these states going in. Thquestion is does biden hav the momentum to stop him . Heres what to watch for. At the lead at the end of tonight if its less than 200 for Bernie Sanders i expect we are headed towards a long, drawn out free for all. It could take till tomorrow to count. Jon karl, i know youll join us for the special coverage of super tuesday and well be here all night long. Ill be anchoring with our whole Political Team starts at 8 00 eastern. We are following a lot of other stories this morning including that cable news stunner last night. That happened on live tv. Chris matthews announced hes retiring after allegations of harassment.

Veteran anchor Chris Matthews abruptly retiring on air last night at the beginning of his msnbc show hardball, apologizing after a series of recent missteps. Paula faris is here with that story for us. Good morning, paula. Good morning, robin. Chris matthews walked into his washington, d. C. Studio last night with his family by his side reportedly telling members of his longtime crew just an hour beforehand hed be retiring and on air he made it clear this decision was not his. Let me start with my headline tonight. Im retiring. Reporter overnight a stunning announcement. Msnbcs Chris Matthews out at hardball. This is the last hardball on msnbc, and obviously this isnt for a lack of interest in politics. As you can tell, ive loved every minute of my 20 years as host of hardball. The younger generations are ready to take the reins. We see them in politics and the media promoting their causes. They are improving the workplace. Were talking about better standards than we grew up with, fairer standards. A lot of it has to go with how we talk to each other. Compliments on a womans appearance that some men including me might have thought incorrectly were okay and were never okay. Not then and certainly not today and for making such comments in the past, im sorry. Reporter matthews referring to this scathing editorial that was published friday in gq magazine by journalist laura bassett. In it bassett claims matthews has repeatedly lusted over women in politics on air. And goes on to describe unsettling personal encounters she claims to have had with matthews behind the camera writing, in 2016 right before i had to go on his show and talk about Sexual Assault allegations against donald trump, matthews looked over at me in the makeup chair next to him and said, why havent i fallen in love with you yet . Adding that his repeated flirtations undermined my ability to do my job well. She also points to what she calls a number of onair incidents describing them as long, exhausting and creepy using Erin Burnetts appearance on the show as an example. Come in closer. Really close. What are you doing . Just kidding. You look great. Reporter matthews under fire by several womens organizations after he asks senator Elizabeth Warren why she believed a woman who accused former new york city mayor Mike Bloomberg of pressuring her to have an abortion. And two weeks ago matthews also apologizing to senator Bernie Sanders for comparing his Campaign Wins to the nazis winning a key battle during world war ii. Overnight bassett reacting to the news on twitter saying, since calling out Chris Matthews, this week has been really rough. The harassment has been invasive, cruel and personal. And its all worth it if he will never have the platform to demean and objectify us again. Now, matthews made that announcement at the very beginning of his show, and left with his wife and family. Didnt finish the show. The timing coming as a huge shock to those at the network but it is believed that msnbc will use a series of hosts in the interim until they find a permanent replacement for that 7 00 slot. Guys . All right, paula. Thank you so much. Now that meeting between the queen and harry. The two sitting down for hours at Windsor Castle on the heels of that royal exit, and Erielle Reshef is here with those details. Good morning, erielle. Good morning, amy. Royal sources have confirmed to abc news that prince harry and his grandmother, the queen, had an intimate lunch last sunday. The pair chatting grandmother to grandson about harrys future. This morning, abc news has learned the queen told prince harry he would be welcome back any time as a working member of the royal family. The two had a oneonone lunch last sunday during harrys final visit in the uk as a working royal. The lunch was private. There were no palace staff or courtiers in attendance. It was a chance for the two to talk grandson to grandmother. Harry and meghans Frogmore Cottage home is just a stones throw from the queens Windsor Castle and the prince often pops by to Windsor Castle for tea. Last sundays Family Reunion coming after tense negotiations resulted in the palace saying harry and meghan can no longer use the brand sussex royal, once they step back as working members of the royal family. The pair finishing their official duties at the end of this month. Ladies and gentlemen, please give a big warm scottish welcome to harry. [ applause ] reporter harry kicked off his final trip to the uk as a working royal last week promoting an organization he launched just last year about sustainable travel. We believe that travel is a good thing. It is the heart of human experience, of cultural connections and of new friendships. Reporter meghan expected to join him and the rest of the fab four, william and kate and the queen for a public appearance in a few days. When the family appear publicly together at Westminster Abbey, we wont see any signs of division behind the scenes but we do know those divisions have very much existed and continued to exist within the family. And that service in Westminster Abbey will be prince harry and meghans last official engagement as working royals. Its worth noting though that harry and meghans new arrangement will be reviewed by the queen, and she has made it very clear to them that theyre welcome back to their official royal duties if the chance arises. So well see what happens. Stay tuned. I know. Seems like its always changing. More teas to come. Coming up in our next hour, that surprise twist on the bachelors women tell all contains a message about hate and cyberbullying. And next on gma, we have a coronavirus reality check.

President kennedy knew settling for halfmeasures wasnt good enough. So when candidates say we cant guarantee health care for all, make College Affordable for all, combat climate change, or create a world at peace, remember that america is best when we strive to do big things, even when its hard. Im Bernie Sanders and i approve this message. Back now with a coronavirus reality check. Stephanie ramos took a deep dive at the office looking at everything from door handles to elevators, even the kitchen sink for clues on where the virus lingers and how it spreads. Hey, stephanie. Hey, there, george. Doctors say some germs like the one that cause the common cold can live on surfaces from hours to even days. Now, the everyday preventive measure we can take is washing our hands regularly. Weve heard this but especially if youre coming into contact with germ hot spots which is likely happening more often than you think. As coronavirus fears spread across the country, many are wondering how to best avoid getting sick at work. We invited dr. Sara mcdodd, they health and Hospitals Special Pathogens Program to our offices in new york city to learn about where germs may be lurking, and it starts with you. If your hands are dirty youre toughing your face. In a typical time perih ce 20 times in one hour. Thats a lot. Up to 500 times in day. Reporter and if your germy hands touch your eyes or mouth, you can set sick. Watch this. In this gma business meeting, the worst offender touched his face 44 times in 25 minutes. And germs can really move. A cough or sneeze can create a viral cloud that extends about six feet according to the cdc. With the coronavirus disease, a person infected with coronavirus, if they cough, if they sneeze those droplets can become airborne. Reporter the most germs are found on places where a lot of people touch but that may not be regularly cleaned like the elevator button. This is another area that gets a lot of attention, a lot of people pushing the buttons. What do you do if youre trying to stay germfree . Sure, so, again, another high touch area right here so in terms of, you know, using these buttons, if you are going to use them, again, washing your hands often. Thats another key thing. Reporter theres also a correct way to disinfect, and its not by using the same wipe over and over again. So we want to make sure when we are cleaning and disinfecting, we want to make sure were getting into these crevices and making sure we do a thorough job in terms of disinfecting. Reporter the office kitchen, even yours at home is ripe with germs on high touch surfaces, refrigerator and microwave handle, sink handles and for our staff, the spigot on the water purifier. Talk a little bit about the concern with that water bottle top touching that surface. So ideally you obviously want to have a gap, and that way its not touching where the water is dispensing, and in this case since it is obviously touching where the water is dispensing, then the germs that are obviously on that water bottle, you know, that you are drinking out of can obviously crosscontaminate here. Doctors say it boils down to basic infection control. If youre greeting someone and you shake their hand you dont really know what germs may be on that persons hand so it may just be best to wave from a distance. Guys . Stephanie, thanks very much. Dr. Jen ashton has been saying that for a couple of weeks. Yep. We know about washing hands and saw those tips that stephanie outlined. What are the most important things people should be thinking about . I think this is really common sense, george. Its not histrionic, we do it anyway in the middle of flu season. Social setting, again, its just ingrained in us. Were just so conditioned to shake hands, hug or kiss each other. We need to kind of back off that. It just is something that has low risk and likely to have some benefits so youve seen us here doing it. You know, the elbow bump, theres going to be a whole lot of creative and sometimes a little funny maneuvers to do things that are not shaking hands, hugging and kissing. Weve seen all these empty store shelves, sanitizers, a run on sanitizers. What things do people need . People can go to re theres a long and though st decade. We saw it needed after things like hurricane sandy, so this is not just for coronavirus preparedness, this is stuff that most people should have in their home or apartment and its not just for you. We have to remember, you know, its not a selfish thing to prepare like this. It actually does what we call flatten the curve of spread which means it slows it down and protects your community.

You have to make a trek to get a [ cheers and applause ] now to that daring walk over one of the most active volcanoes we saw the masaya volcano up close monday in our series extraordinary earth. Now nik wallenda is getting ready to walk over the 2,000degree lake of lava, one of his most dangerous feats yet. Will reeve on the scene. Good morning, will. Reporter good morning, george. Nik wallenda is nervous and its understandable. If youll take a look, this walk of the masaya volcano over these whipping winds through the toxic gases above that boiling lava, its all uncharted territory. I spent the day with nik wallenda learning about his process and preparation. The stakes are high. Almost 1,000 feet high. The reality is im risking my life. Reporter tomorrow night Aerialist Nik Wallenda will attempt his most daring feat yet walking over one of the most volatile and dangerous volcanoes in the world, the masaya. When youre at the middle and you look down will you look down . I absolutely will look down. Its more about this beautiful environment and this beautiful piece of nature. Reporter located in the heart of nicaragua, the masaya is one of the worlds most active volcanoes. And this 1,800footlong wire just over one inch thick will be the only thing between him and the lava lake below boiling at over 2,000 degrees fahrenheit. The last week in the middle of the night ill wake up in cold sweats because of this walk. Every step is dangerous. Reporter masayas plume of toxic gas is unpredictable and hell walk straight through it. Ill be wearing goggles. What if they fog up . What if theyre not affixed right and my eyes start burning and i cant see . Reporter feats like this are a family generation. The 41yearold has walked over the grand canyon and Niagara Falls and just eight months ago in times square. But the walk across the masaya will be the highest and longest walk wallenda has ever attempted on a cable he hadnt seen before. Ive never until this morning walked on a cable this diameter. Reporter our cameras were there as he took steps on that wire. Wednesday night right about here. Reporter this is where it will all begin. What will go through your mind as you take these steps up . There will be everything from nerves to excitement, a little bit of fear. A lot of respect. Its a dream. Reporter wallenda told me the element that most concerns him is the wind because as he says it doesnt tell you how fast its going, its so unpredictable. Here at the masaya volcano, the mouth of hell down there, those winds can come out of nowhere with no warning whipping up those toxic gases. Theres a lot for him to contend with, george. Boy, there sure is. We cant even watch that gulf right there. But what surprised you most about his state of mind as hes heading into this . Reporter well, i stood with him, george, at this wooden pyramid hes going to be climbing up as he begins his 1,800foot walk across the crater and his honesty about the fear that he will be feeling in that moment and that hes been feeling leading up to this waking up in those cold sweats, he told me hes going to be very scared but all he can do is literally put one foot in front of the other. He says he has to do this, george. Its almost reassuring to know hes going to be scared. I mean he should be but its an amazing, amazing feat, will. Thanks very much.

Reducing our Carbon Footprint means changing our habits but change is hard. Sometimes we listen to our better angels but other times our devilish instincts have us taking the easy path. Thats why the epas carbon calculator comes in. It adds up all our little choices to help us see the amount of carbon we personally put into the atmosphere. Take recycling. The devil says dont rinse that out. Just toss it. Make that choice all the time and, boom, the average person helps create 692 pounds of carbon annually. Now lets talk gas and electricity. The devil says turn the thermostat up. Wash on high, leave your computer on all night. But using the epa calculator our angel advises setting up Power Management to turn it off automatically, a cold wash, it cleans just as well. And lowering the house temperature a few degrees. That sweater is just fetching on you. Thank you. Reporter to save 9,115 pounds of co2 each year. Not to mention over 70 per month in utility bills and driving, youre too tired to bike to work. Public transport, oh, no. Too much human interaction. But when our angel uses the carbon calculator. Angels do math . Of course, we do. Reducing your driving even 10 below average can reduce your Carbon Footprint by over 1,100 pounds of co2. Heres to a better angel moving us toward a better future. When we add up the co2 saved by those little angelic changes its a 19 reduction in co2. Its over 4,000 pounds in Carbon Emissions saved.

Semi retirement. On my face. You still have a few shows to go. We havent seen them all yet but we have seen the pictures of the final taping, the final table. Must have been such an emotional moment. I think the closest analog i can come up with is sort of like when you graduate from high school because weve been together for basically that amount of time, right . And so its felt like kind of all the feelings. Theres a lot of sadness but a lot of gratitude and you feel emotionally 18. And everybody is sort of overpromising like in high school where youre like im going to see you every day. Were still going to talk. Were going to have coffee every weekend, you know. Just like high school. Yeah, yeah. You know what, i got to tell you, when we think about over the years and the characters and you all have been so kind coming on this program and we appreciate that over the years. Its been a blast. Your character, lets just say phil has some mishaps. And were going to just a few. [ applause ] and mishaps. As youll see in this clip often his family members, well, theyre part of that mishap. Oh. Thats funny. Forgot about the humidifier for my mushroom log. It needed moisture and it must have rotted the wood. Wow. Honey, youre really wedged in here title. No kidding. Why cant you buy your mushrooms at a store like a normal person . Store bought mushrooms. You really dont get my generation, boomer. [ cheers and applause ] oh, my. To have those mishaps and get to be that silly. You know, its been like one of the great pleasures of my life and i hadnt really done a lot of like physical comedy before this show, but i am clumsy. Im a clumsy person. Ive always been clumsy. Ive been tripping and falling in public my whole life. The only difference really is that after doing it for 11 years on the show, i now when i trip and fall in Public People think im doing it on purpose. Right. But, yeah, i will stumble and this happened like after five season five or six, somebody will be like, oh, yeah, that guy. Yeah. No help. Its actually gotten so bad that this weekend, a true story, i was playing tag with my daughters after dinner and we were running i was running at full speed and i tripped and fell and had like a really hard fall like of like i flipped over on the ground on a public sidewalk and i looked up and my own family thought i was doing it on purpose. My wife and daughters were like, daddy, just, gosh, he loves attention. Oh, my gosh. My gosh. What have your daughters thought of your other family . Insane jealousy. No. I dont know that theyve you know, i think they have kind of understood. Theyre 8 and 10 so theyre sort of like just starting to really fully understand the fictional world of television but they know that this job and those people are important to me. They do understand that my television daughters arent their real daughter. Is it true before you got this role on modern family that you were thinking about maybe getting out of acting. I was. Really . I was. You know, i had decent, decent meaning long stretches of unemployment and my wife and i actually sat down at one point to kind of like come up with a list of, you know, other things that i could do because i was thinking about getting out of acting and what was on the list . Nothing. [ laughter ] okay. I have no other skill set. So it was like, all right, ill keep acting. Then you know youre destined. Have you thought about where youll watch the final episode .

The subject of a new documentary about to debut on hulu and linsey davis is oneonone right now with secretary clinton to talk all about it. Linsey. Yes, we are here with Hillary Clinton, the subject of the fourpart Docuseries Hillary. Welcome. Thank you. What a news cycle it has been as you well know in the last 24 hours. Several prominent democrats have endorsed Vice President joe biden, former Vice President joe biden, among them Amy Klobuchar, Pete Buttigieg, i know that youve said you want to let the process play out but just curious if you do plan to endorse and if so whats the procs ik yo the peoples views that are going to be voted on have had a chance to express themselves so theres a long way to go. Today obviously is a big wat an that we nominate whoever is the strongest candidate to take out the current incumbent. Thats the only thing that matters at the end of the day. Lets turn now to the documentary. You sat down for 35 hours. I did. Nothing was offlimits and you get really into a lot of personal anguish to talk about monica lewinsky. Why subject yourself to that . Why relive all of that again. People have a lot of opinions about me as you might know and i thought im not running for anything. When they came to me with this idea, you know, why not tell my own story and its a story not only about me, but really about womens lives, about politics in our country and you can go back 25 years and see how i tried to get universal care for everybody and i got burned in effigy because it was so controversial or what i said in beijing about womens rights being human rights and you can tell that not only my life but the lives of many, many millions of other women are reflected in this documentary. Thats one of the reasons i was excited about participating. You talked about the peoples opinions on you. Front and center right off the bat in this documentary they talk about this perception that Hillary Clinton is inauthentic. You talk about your frustrations with that. We have a clip. Lets take a listen. Okay. When people say im not authentic, what you see is what you get. I mean im sorry if im not brilliantly charismatic on tv but i am the same person ive always been and going through this gauntlet of unbelievable obstacles, you know, yeah, i mean, you know, you get scarred up a little bit. Speaking of that idea of getting scarred up a little bit theres a quote early on that says you are one of the most admired and vilified women in american history. Do you agree with that and is part of your hope doing this documentary that it might change peoples perceptions about you . Well, what i hope is that people will see a more comprehensive view of me and not a snippet here or a snippet there or some rumor or some wild Conspiracy Theory because i became of age and certainly came into the public eye at a time when there was so much change going on in america. You know, civil right, womens right, rights, i was thrust into the role of first lady, there had never been anybody with an education like mine with a career like mine so i was put into a kind of position that nobody had ever been before. There was no guide book like how do you deal with this . And i think what the film does so successfully and i give a big shoutout to the director who was able to tell a complicated story in a really driving compelling way and i hope that people not only learn more about me but maybe reflect a little bit about their own lives or their mothers lives, their grandmothers lives, whats happening in our country today. Really quickly just curious to get your response to hearing that Bernie Sanders said that if he makes it to the convention with the most pledged delegates that he should be the nominee. Thats quite a bit of change in his stance from 2016. Your reaction. Lets follow the rules. Weve got rules. We had rules last time and rules this time and i think its always a good idea to follow the rules. Everybody knew what they were when you got into it. In the campaign in the documentary you talk about his campaign from 2016 and call it, quote, just baloney and i feel so bad people got sucked into it. Do you still feel that way now. Sure, yeah. I mean, that was my authentic opinion then. Its my authentic opinion now. You know, heres one of the saddest things happening right now. The house of representatives under democratic leadership has passed 400 bills on really important issues from health care to Economic Security to election security. It just goes on and on. Does anybody know that . Of course, not. Nobody knows that. Change is hard. Its not glamorous, it doesnt fit into a sound bite. And yet the people who were elected in 2018 are down there doing the peoples work and i just think we ought to be more understanding and realistic about what it takes to get change in this big complicated pluralistic democracy of ours and its not easy but, boy, is it ever worth it and i want to make sure voters know what can be done if they give the white house back to the democrats. Hillary clinton, thank you so much. The Docuseries Hillary premieres on hulu on friday. Were going to have much more with mrs. Clinton as we continue the conversation o a 00 n allrit, right . I love it. I can give you the warming trend. Springlike temperatures coming to most of the east close to all right. Fans of crazy rich asians, the author is publishing a new novel called sex and vanity, a tale of love and longing about a young woman torn between her upbringing and a man she is desperately trying to avoid falling in love with. Itits book stores on july 14th. Speaking of books, dan abrams is here with his new one. Stay right there. We choose to go to the and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard. President kennedy knew settling for halfmeasures wasnt good enough. So when candidates say we cant guarantee health care for all, make College Affordable for all, combat climate change, or create a world at peace, remember that america is best when we strive to do big things, even when its hard. Im Bernie Sanders and i approve this message. Can we go get some ice cream . Alright, we gotta stop here first. From smarter atms, to after hours video tellers comcast business is connecting thousands of banks to technology that turns everyday transactions into extraordinary experiences. Hi there. How are you . Do you have any lollipops in there . laughing no, sorry. Were helping all kinds of businesses go beyond customer expectations. How can we help you . Were back now with dan abrams whose new book out today, john adams under fire, takes us inside a riveting revolutionary era murder trial. The founding father risking it all to defend the british soldiers involved in the boston massacre. This is not the history you were taught in school. So nice to have you here. Its nice to be here. Were going to start with this picture. This might be familiar. Something youve probably seen in your history book at school. It was originally printed by paul revere but you say this is not an accurate depiction of what happened. This is what people think of when they think of the boston massacre because this was distributed everywhere at the time and it is wildly inaccurate as to what happened. You see there, this line supposedly of british soldiers firing at the colonists, thats not what happened. It was a very complicated nuanced event where there were colonist, maybe hundreds gathering throwing snowballs and rocks at the soldiers and the question is, when did they fire and why did they fire . And that ultimately became the subject of this trial which is where we start with the book and weve got a 217page transcript from 1770 of the actual trial. And this was a risky case for john adams to take on. He was 34 years old, not a supporter of the british, correct. No, he was a patriot. He did it because he believed in the rule of law. He believed that the british soldiers deserved the defense and he suffered for it, lost half his law business, people threw rocks through his window at his home. But he believed, a, that they had a serious defense and, again, thats not what happened whe pture and, b, fair trial and john adams is the one stubborn things. Hrase facts are and its there from that trial that we got that phrase and that was adams in defending these british soldiers in this murder case. Something else we saw were these iconic wigs that john adams wore. These lawyers wigs. Why did they wear them. Two reason, first of all, formality. It added a level of formality to the courtroom and, secondly, and maybe interestingly anonymity meaning they wanted people to focus on the rule of law and not the individuals in the court so everyone dressed the same, the point being so that their appearance wouldnt matter and that so the jurors could focus on the rule of law and nothing else. Very interesting. Also something thats significant is the picture behind you, Abigail Adams and a lot of people might not realize the relationship john had with his wife abigail in fact that she was one of his closest advisors. She was one of the most important women in early colonial history. She wasnt just his wife. In todays day and age, she would have been a political candidate herself. She was smart, she was outspoken and john adams wouldnt do much without her guidance and her advice. Love that. Dan abrams, thank you so much. John adams under fire is available today. Pick up your copy and well be right back.
