Right now, all hp ink is buy one get one 50 off whitaker the civil war in syria was a powder keg when the russians intervened in september. They put up an airbase and started bombing targets there. Russian president Vladimir Putin said the air strikes were aimed at fighting islamic terrorism, but it quickly became apparent that the majority of the bombs were aimed not t isis, but at other syrian insurgent groups fighting the regime of russias ally, president bashar alassad. Whatever their motives, the russians have inserted themselves into the syrian conflict and any discussion of a few months ago, 60 minutes reported from the american base in qatar, the command center for u. S. Operations in the middle east. We wanted to see the russian base, so we asked and they agreed. We set out on the road to syria, which took us on a detour we didnt expect. To get to the russian airbase in latakia, syria, you have to start here in moscow. You dont just show up at the gates of the airbase. You have to be invited by the Russian Ministry of defense, then taken on a Russian Military transport on a circuitous five hour flight over territory friendly to russia the caspian sea, iran, iraq, before finally landing in syria. It was almost midnight when our plane took off from a russian airbase outside moscow. As we started to take pictures out the window, we were told nyet no something we heard often during the next no, no, no. Whitaker this was the first face we saw after landing. Thats syrian president bashar alassad. This once was a syrian airport. Since the summer, the russians have built barracks, brought in 4,000 personnel, paved roads, rolled in truckloads of equipment and munitions, erecting a bit of russia in the heart of assadcontrolled syria. This is mostly friendly territory, at least 20 miles from the closest frontlines, but the russians arent taking any chances. Helicopter gun ships constantly patrolled the perimeter. They took us out along newly extended runways to watch a steady series of planes taking off. The roar was deafening. The russians invited about a dozen news organizations on this they especially wanted us to take note of their newest fighterbomber, the su34. Our russian guide in syria, Major General igor konashenkov, is chief spokesman for the ministry of defense. Over the previous 24 hours, he said, 320 insurgents and 34 Armored Vehicles were destroyed. Independent monitoring groups told us some of the planes we saw taking off did bomb isis targets, but most bombed more immediate threats to the assad regime, groups like the u. S. Backed free syrian army, and al nusrah, the syrian arm of al qaeda. General konashenkov wouldnt tell us how many planes are flying missions, but American Military sources say the russians have 36 fighter planes and 17 helicopters. The Russian Military says they sorties, mostly from here, since president putin ordered the Bombing Campaign in september. What is the primary goal of russia in this intervention . Vladimir komoyedov translated the main task is to restore statehood in this region, syrian statehood. Whitaker admiral Vladimir Komoyedov is the chairman of the russian parliaments defense committee. He was involved in the planning of the syrian mission. The United States is focused primarily on defeating isis. And russia seems to have other priorities supporting the assad regime and helping the assad regime fight its enemies, and that seems to take priority over fighting isis. Komoyedov if you cut off the head, you get chaos. Theres chaos in libya, chaos essentially in iraq. Half the country is under isil. There, you see. So, if you want to so stubbornly remove the leaders of syria, its an enormous mistake. Whitaker im just wondering if you believe that assad has a role in the future of syria . Komoyedov the problem is that he has lost some of his authority. The people themselves must figure out, in elections, whom to follow and how to build their lives, which have been essentially ruined in syria. Whitaker ruined, in large part, by president assads own military. We got the sense admiral komoyedov is not crazy about the syrian president , who has dropped bombs on his own people. The admiral used a derogatory term to describe assad, then asked that we not repeat it on tv. Komoyedov we know why the opposition was formed. It was formed due to the mistakes of the president of syria himself. Whitaker when they launched this mission back in september, temporary. After months of almost daily bombing, isis and the other insurgent groups fighting the assad regime have barely been budged from the territory they hold. And russia has added more planes and expanded to other bases here in syria. The mission doesnt look so temporary anymore. Did russia overestimate the power of the syrian army . Komoyedov but we have been fulfilling our obligations to syria, and we will go on fulfilling them. President assad shouldnt rest on his laurels. He needs to work on his army and raise its morale, and if necessary, lead the army himself. He needs to unite his forces, which are scattered like fingers. They must be clenched into a fist. If you cant beat them, at least you can give them a black eye. Whitaker it was the russians who got a black eye when one of their war planes was shot down and a pilot killed by the november. That incident may have been why we were taken to tartus, two hours south of latakia. This is the russian navys only foothold in the mediterranean. Holding onto this base seems to be one key reason president putin maintained, and now is escalating, his support for bashar alassad. This day, our destination was the moscow, a guided missile cruiser that lay a mile offshore. They brought us aboard and did everything short of firing off one of its missiles to demonstrate russias naval might. The moscow is normally the flagship of the black sea fleet. It now has a new mission. When i see all of this, i. I just wonder, who are you fighting . Isis doesnt have any capability like this. General konashenkov told us the fight terrorists. After turkey shot down the russian fighter, the moscow was reassigned to provide anti aircraft defense. That a russian guided missile cruiser is providing air defense against turkey, a u. S. Ally, in what was supposed to be a war against isis and islamic terrorism is a sign just how complicated this temporary mission has become. Maria lipman russia has to be reckoned with, which has been putins goal all along throughout the 15 years of his leadership. Whitaker maria lipman is a political analyst in moscow, one of the few independent voices willing to publicly criticize president putin. Lipman seeing russia waging this stateoftheart military operation in a very important region made the russians feel proud. This began with the annexation reinstated historical justice, the way it was seen in russia. Whitaker so this is primarily not about syria, but about russias place in the world . Lipman of course, it is also about syria. But i do not think the goal, the primary goal, was to stop the war. I think the primary goal was russias stature in the world. Whitaker we wanted to know what they thought of russias war here in latakia, a coastal province, home to about two million people. This is assad territory. The shops looked full and life seemed normal as we rode through town. We werent allowed off the bus for security reasons, our russian minders said. Instead, they took us to a refugee camp at the citys sports complex. While hundreds of thousands of syrians have fled to europe from president assad and his opponents, the russians wanted to show us people who had fled to the safety of the syrian government. These are about 5,000 of the millions of refugees from this civil war. Amid the tents, we found this woman. Shes been here three years after fleeing aleppo with her daughter and grandchildren. What was happening in aleppo that made you come here to this camp . They destroyed our homes, she told us. She said her son was killed. You lost everything . She told us she didnt know who was responsible for the barrel bomb dropped from a plane that destroyed her house. But barrel bombs are a signature weapon of the assad regime. Do you hope to go home again . God willing, she said. She told us she felt safe here in the governmentrun camp, and for helping out. For those on the receiving end of the russian bombs, its a different story. The russians have presented this war through a series of videos of precision strikes with intelligence from satellites and drones. Yet as we were shown the planes being heavily armed for their missions, we saw many of what are known as dumb bombs being loaded unguided weapons, which human Rights Groups say have led to more than 500 civilian deaths. Correct me if im wrong i have read that many of the targets hit by the russians have been selected by the syrians. Is that true . Komoyedov translated we use our data and syrian data. But i think theres a trick in your question that supposedly if were striking, were hitting the wrong target. Yes, there may be mistakes. But you have to know that such things happen. Americans have missed, you know. War is not like going for a stroll somewhere in the park. War is death. Its weaponry, its fire. Whitaker we saw little of that during our trip to syria. By design, the russians showed off their firepower but not the results, and the results have not been dramatic. According to the defense and intelligence publication ihs janes, after three months of russian bombing, the syrian army has managed to take back less by the insurgents. The flu virus hits big.

Pelley about ten times a month now, an innocent person is freed from an american prison. Theyre exonerated, sometimes after decades, because of new evidence, new confessions, or the Forensic Science of dna. There is joy the day that justice arrives, but we wondered, what happens the day after . Youre about to meet three people who have returned to life from unjust convictions. Death row. He remembers, too vividly, the Alabama Electric chair and the scent that permeated the cell block when a man was met by 2,000 volts. Hinton waited his turn for nearly 30 years until this past april. Thats when ray hinton stepped out of the shadow of execution, taking the first steps that he chose for himself since 1985. Ray hinton as though i was walking on clouds. They changed they mind, you know. Pelley you still didnt believe it. Hinton i was not going to allow myself to really believe that i was free until i was actually free. Pelley free to visit his mother, who went to her grave believing her son would be the cemetery was hintons first destination. And he was startled by a world that had moved on without him. Hinton we headed toward the graveyard, and a voice come on and said, at twopointsomany miles, turn right. And i said, what the hell . Who is that . And he said his gps tracker. I knew i didnt see no white lady get in that car. I wanted to know how did she get in that car and what is she doing in this car. Man, come on. Pelley any voice tended to be a surprise. On death row, hinton spent most of every day alone. After 30 years inside, mostly by yourself, did you worry about coming back out into the world . Hinton you get out and you just out. If you dont have a place to live or money or whatever, you ask yourself, what am i going to do . For 30 years. And he had already told me, whenever you get out, you come live with me and my wife. Pelley what did you have to learn after you got out . Hinton im still learning. Im still learning that i can take a bath every day. Im still learning that i dont have to get up at 3 00 in the morning and eat breakfast. Im still learning that life is not always what we think it is. Pelley ray hintons life was never what he thought it would be after 1985, when he was misidentified by a witness who picked him out of a mug shot book. His picture was in there after a theft conviction. When police found a gun in his mothers house, a lieutenant told him that hed been arrested in three shootings, including the murders of two restaurant managers. Hinton i said, you got the wrong guy. Whether you did it or dont. He said, but you going to be convicted for it. And you know why . I said, no. He said, you got a white man. They going to say you shot him. Going to have a white d. A. We going to have a white judge. You going to have a white jury, more than likely. And he said, all of that spell conviction, conviction, conviction. I said, well, does it matter that i didnt do it . He said, not to me. Pelley the lieutenant denied saying that. But hinton was convicted at age 30. He was 57 when the u. S. Supreme court ruled nine to zero that his defense had been ineffective. A new ballistics test found that the gun was not the murder weapon. Hinton 30 years ago, a judge proudly stood up and said, i sentence you to die. Decency to say, mr. Hinton, we sorry for. We sorry for what took place. No one have said it. Pelley what did the state of alabama give you to help you get back up on your feet . Hinton they dropped all charges and that was it. Pelley no money . Hinton no. Pelley no suit of clothes . Hinton nothing. No. Pelley and that is where many states are failing the growing number of exonerated prisoners. It turns out, in alabama, if ray hinton had committed murder and was released on parole, he would have been eligible for job training, housing assistance, and a bus ticket home. But most states offer no immediate help to the innocent whos convictions can be embarrassing because of misconduct or incompetence by Bryan Stevenson you cant traumatize someone, try to kill someone, condemn someone, lock someone down for 30 years, and not feel some responsibility for what youve done. Pelley attorney Bryan Stevenson worked on ray hintons case for 16 years. Stevenson started the equal justice initiative, one of a growing number of legal organizations overturning false convictions. Stevenson they need support they need economic support, they need housing support, they need medical support, they need Mental Health care. They need to know that their victimization, their abuse has been taken seriously. Ken ireland it was just absolutely unimaginable and i couldnt even explain the horror of it. Pelley ken ireland lost 21 years. He was misidentified by witnesses who collected a 20,000 reward. Convicted in a 1986 rape and murder, dna proved his innocence. Good morning. Good morning, sir. Of an innocent man whos done hard time, the governor put ireland on connecticuts parole board. At some point in your life, sir, you have to step up. Pelley so this is your new cell . Ireland well, yeah, for eight hours a day. Pelley it took five years to get this job. At first, he lived with his sister and he found work as a counselor for troubled kids. Ireland i got a little small apartment in town. I mean, there was the nights where i just barricaded myself in a big walkin closet and slept in there. Just thinking, you know, someones going to come kick down my door and drag me back. Pelley you slept in a closet . Ireland yeah, yeah, a few times, i have. Pelley are you over that now, six years later . Ireland yeah, i dont have them issues now. It gets easier and easier every day. Pelley one thing that made it easier was connecticuts new law that compensates the wrongly convicted. A year ago, ireland was the first to get a check. Pelley what did the state give you . Ireland 6 million. Pelley 6 million . Ireland right, and. Ireland thats more than most states are giving. Pelley well, it comes to Something Like 300,000 a year for every year you spent in prison. And you say its not worth it . Ireland oh, absolutely not. Absolutely not. They could give me 5 million for every year and it still wouldnt be worth it. Pelley ken ireland was fortunate, if you can call it that. 20 states offer no compensation at all. One is julie baumers home, michigan. Other than the time, what have you lost . Julie baumer everything. Everything. My life is nothing as it was. Pelley in 2003, baumer was a Mortgage Broker raising her sisters baby. He became ill, so she took him to an emergency room. Doctors there suspected the boy had been shaken until his brain was damaged. Baumer was convicted of child abuse. She was in her fifth year in prison when new evidence showed that the boy had suffered a natural stroke. The judge apologized. After she was released, for a time, she was homeless. How did you start over . Baumer it was very, very, very rough. You start from the bottom reclaiming your identity. I didnt have an i. D. And then, after i jumped over that hurdle, then you start applying for jobs. And then you have to go through okay, well, now theres a five gap. Year gap on your resume. Why is this . And then, you tell your potential employer the truth. In my case, i never got phone calls back. Pelley there was no support for you of any kind. Baumer no. phone rings our lady of redemption. Pelley julie baumer now works for a detroitarea parish. Baumer thank you. God bless. Hopefully, my testimony as an exoneree. Pelley in her spare time shes lobbying michigans legislature for a compensation law. Baumer no amount of money can ever bring back everything that ive lost. Pelley no one can fail to see the injustice in these but when it comes to compensation, there are people watching this interview who are saying, you know, it was just bad luck, and we dont necessarily owe them for the life that they lost. Stevenson this isnt luck, this was a system. This was actually our justice system. It was our tax dollars who paid for the Police Officers who arrested mr. Hinton; our tax dollars that paid for the judge and the prosecutor that prosecuted him; that paid for the experts who got it wrong; that paid to keep him on death row for 30 years for a crime he didnt commit. This has nothing to do with luck. This has everything to do with the way we treat those who are vulnerable in our criminal justice system. Pelley ray hinton is considering applying for compensation, but alabama has paid only one exoneree after 41 claims. In the meantime, attorney Bryan Stevenson has been hintons guide to advances like a. T. M. S and smart phones, and to like getting a license at the d. M. V. Hinton whether i ever catch up with the world, i dont know, but im going to try. Pelley hinton is working parttime now, speaking about justice and faith. Hinton i just never, never believed that god would allow me to die for something that i didnt do. I didnt know how he was going to work it out, but i believed that he would work it out. I cant get over the fact that, just because i was born black, and someone that had the authority who happened to be white felt the need to send me to a cage and try to take my life for something that they pelley of course, they did take ray hintons life. A false conviction isnt about lost time its the loss of an education, a marriage, the chance to start a family, settle into a job and build a pension. The only thing alabama didnt take was the breath from his body. Are you angry . Hinton no. Pelley how could you not be . Three decades of your life, most all of your life. Hinton they took 30 years of my life, as you said. What joy i have, i cannot afford to give that to them. And so, being angry is. Would be giving them. Letting them win. Pelley youd still be in prison. Hinton oh absolutely. I am a person that love to laugh. I love to see other people smile. And how can i smile when im full of hate . Got from me, i count today. I count every day as a joy. This is adam zuker with the cbs sports update brought to you by the lip con motor company. Seattle defeated minnesota 10ed in their n. F. C. Wild card matchup.

Rose over the last five months, hamilton has become part of broadway lore. It is one of the most critically acclaimed shows ever staged, and one of the toughest tickets to get, already sold out until summer. The story of founding father Alexander Hamilton and his contemporaries is played by a young, multiracial cast hiphop and popular music. As we first reported last fall, the man behind it, 35yearold linmanuel miranda, wrote the music, lyrics, and book, and plays the title character, one of the most audacious and brilliant figures in american history. Linmanuel miranda the thing about hamilton is he spoke in paragraphs, so the opening sentence of our show is this crazy runon sentence. How does a bastard orphan, son of a whore and a scotsman, dropped in the middle of a forgotten spot in the caribbean by providence, impoverisisd in squalor, comma, grow up to be a hero and a scholar . Thats the question were going to answer for the next two hours and 45 minutes. Im past patiently waitin im passionately smashin every expectation every actions an act of creation. Rose in hamilton, the answers come fast. Miranda first time im thinking past tomorrow and im not throwing away my shot anthem. The young, scrappy and hungry immigrant arrives in new york just before the american revolution. Rise up rise up, take a shot rise up rise up, take a shot take a shot, not throwing away my shot not throwing away my shot miranda it took me a year to write my shot. Rose it took you a year. Miranda yeah. Because every couplet needed to be the best couplet i ever wrote. Thats how. Thats how seriously i was taking it. Rose hamilton demands lots from you. Miranda hes calling on my best. Sir, entrust me with a command. Rose hamilton was front and center at nearly every major event in early american history. Man, the man is nonstop rose he never became president , but had a bigger impact than many who did. Let me tell you what i wished id known. Rose his mentor was george jackson, who plucked hamilton out of the ranks and relied on him for 20 years. Daveed diggs so what did i miss . What did i miss . Rose rapper daveed diggs plays thomas jefferson. He is hamiltons primary political opponent. Miranda the bullets out your gun the bullets out your gun. Rose the show reflects mirandas broad musical taste, but hiphop and rap define it. Your music is rap. Miranda yes. And i also believe that form is uniquely suited to tell hamiltons story. Because it has more words per measure than any other musical genre. It has rhythm and it has density. And if hamilton had anything in his writings, it was this density. Reneeelise goldsberry im a girl in a world in which my only job is to marry rich my father has no sons, so im the one who has to social climb for one, so im the oldest and the wittiest and the gossip in new york city is insidious. Rose miranda wrote this for angelica schyuler, played by reneeelise goldsberry. In hamilton, women get equal time. Just you wait. Rose the idea to cast black and Latino Actors to play the founders was deliberate. Miranda wanted to connect america then with america now. You can never back down and never learn to take your time ooh rose hamilton blossomed during an extended run at new yorks public theater. And it was greeted with fireworks over the hudson when it opened on broadway. Miranda i come up here in the opening number. Rose the show has reached the loftiest heights. In five months at the Richard Rodgers theater, hamilton has chalked up nearly 70 million in advanced ticket sales. Seat never know who might be next to them. The president of the United States. Miranda at our sixth preview. Rose the Vice President of the United States. Miranda yes. Its put my dreams to shame, yeah. laughter its super, super humbling, and when you list those boldface names that have come to see the show, i see those as an opportunity to see the show with fresh eyes while im doing it. Rose oh, yeah. Miranda when dick cheneys sitting in the audience, i think, what is he thinking when he hears the lyric, history has its eyes on you, you know . When the president is here, what is he thinking as he sees George Washington say, i have to step down so the country can move on. Rose hamilton was a complicated figure war hero, famous philanderer, political thinker, mudslinging politician, and the nations first treasury secretary. Ron chernow he creates the first fiscal system, first monetary system, first customs service, first central bank, on rose ron chernow wrote the biography that inspired the musical and is the shows historical advisor. Chernow linmanuel miranda, i think, was smart enough to know that the best way to dramatize a story was to stick as close to the facts as possible. Heres the story of a penniless, orphaned, immigrant kid who comes out of nowhere and his achievements were absolutely monumental. Rose you say he came out of nowhere. Chernow he was born on the island of nevis. He spent his adolescence on st. Croix. When he came to north america, he didnt know a soul. Miranda were still playing dominoes on the street. Rose it is a story miranda can relate to. His father moved from puerto rico when he was 18. They settled in inwood on the northern tip of manhattan. Today, luis miranda is a prominent political consultant. His wife luz is a psychologist. Luis miranda luz and i, we was destined for greatness. Rose hes looking down. Luis miranda my only concern was always, is his greatness going to come with money, so he can survive forever . Rose when did you see the musical talent . Luis miranda always. Luz townsmiranda from the time he was tiny. Luis miranda always. laughter luz townsmiranda . He loved to sing. He was always creating, and he loved words and songs. Rose like hamilton, young linmanuel was something of a prodigy. He gained admission into a school for gifted children. Miranda you know, i went to a school where everyone was smarter than me. And im not blowing smoke. I. I was surrounded by genius, genius kids. Whats interesting about growing up in a culture like that is you go, all right, i got to figure out what my thing is. Because im not smarter than these kids. Im not funnier than half of them, so i better figure out what it is i want to do and work really hard at that. And because, intellectually, im rose so why do you think im sitting here talking to you and not sitting here talking to one of your classmates . Miranda because i picked a lane and i started running ahead of everybody else. laughs so i. Thats the honest answer. It was like, i was like, all right this. Rose this was theater. He was in practically every school play. Miranda this is upstairs. This is really where we grew up. Rose the family didnt have a lot of money to see broadway shows. But they did collect cast albums, and miranda consumed them. Lusty month of may. Miranda lusty month of may. All of the wordplay. If you may take me to the fair. Youll thrash and bash him . Ill smash and mash him . Youll, you know, he will be trouble. He will be rubble. laughter rose if ever i would leave you. Miranda it would not be in springtime knowing how in spring im bewitched by you so. Rose how can you have so many songs in your head . miranda because i had a lot of time on my hands. Rose so many songs in your head. Miranda um, yeah, well these were. Rose do you have room for miranda i mean, i dont know my Social Security number. Stahl he graduated from Wesleyan University in 2002 with a degree in theater arts. Thats where he began working on a show about his old neighborhood. Miranda lottery ticket, just part of the routine everybodys got a job, everybodys got a dream. Rose it turned into mirandas first broadway show. In the heights won the 2008 tony for best musical. Two months later, he picked up ron chernows book during a vacation. Miranda this is what i knew from high school. I knew hamilton died in a duel with the Vice President. I knew he was on the 10 bill. But really, i just was browsing the biography section. It could have been truman. Rose and as you read it, what happened . Miranda i was thunderstruck. I got to the part where, you know, a hurricane destroys st. Croix, where hamilton is living. And he writes a poem about the carnage, and this poem gets him off the island. Rose you saw a rap artist in him. Miranda yes. I drew a direct line between hamiltons writing his way out rappers id grown up adoring. Miranda im thrilled the white house called me. Rose nine months after reading the book, he was invited to the white house to perform a song from in the heights. He decided to take a risk. Miranda im actually working on a hiphop album. Its a concept album about the life of someone who i think embodies hip hop, treasury secretary Alexander Hamilton. laughter you laugh . but its true rose so when you did it, and you look at the video now. Miranda i see a terrified young puerto rican man. Rose do you, really . Miranda terrified. Because theres the leader of the free world. Newlyelected leader of the free world, his entire family. Theres biden. Miranda the ten dollar founding father without a father. Rose but as he began the story, the room was mesmerized. Miranda moved in with a cousin the cousin committed suicide left him with nothing but ruined pride something new inside a voice saying alex, you gotta fend for yourself he started retreatin and readin every treatise on the shelf there would have been nothin for someone less astute he woulda been dead or destitute without a cent or restitution, started workin, clerkin for his late mothers landlord tradin sugarcane and all the things he cant afford. That videos a microcosm of my entire hamilton experience. I say, hip hop, Alexander Hamilton, and everyone laughs. And then, by the end, theyre not laughing. Because theyre in it. Because theyve been sucked into the story, just like i got sucked into the story. Rose mirandas gift is making that story come alive. Miranda are you ready for a cabinet meeting, huh . Rose witness hamiltons battle with jefferson over how to pay off the revolutionary war debt. In virginia, we plant seeds in the ground. We create. You just want to move our money around. This Financial Plan is an outrageous demand and its too many damn pages for any man to understand. Miranda thomas, that was a real nice declaration. Welcome to the present were running a real nation would you like to join us, or stay mellow, you do in monticello. A civics lesson from a slaver, hey, neighbor. Your debts are paid because you dont pay for labor. We plant seeds in the south. We create keep ranting. We know whos really doing the planting miranda i think the secret sauce of this show is that, i cant believe this story is true. Its such an improbable and amazing story, and i learned about it while i was writing it. And i think that enthusiasm is baked into the recipe. Leslie odom, jr. hamilton doesnt hesitate he exhibits no restraint and he takes and he takes and he takes. Rose aaron burr is another key ingredient, the shows narrator. He is hamiltons cautious alter ego. Odom if theres a reason he seems to thrive so few survive then, goddamit, im willing to wait for it. Im willing to wait for it rose played by leslie odom, jr. , burrs jealousy builds throughout the show until their fateful meeting on the dueling chernow the bullet hit him actually on the right side just above the hip. It lodged in the spine. Rose by the time they faced off in weehawkin, new jersey, burr was a lame duck Vice President , and hamilton, just shy of his 50th birthday, was practicing law. How could that happen . Chernow think of duels, charlie, as a violent form of conflict resolution. Burr was feeling very, very frustrated. It seemed like at every turn, Alexander Hamilton was there, you know, blocking his path. Miranda he writes in a letter before the duel. He said, there was no way this could have been avoided. We have been circling each other for a while. It was always going to come to this. Rose this was going to happen. Miranda this was going to happen. Theyre fundamentally different men. And they run in concentric circles until they meet. Tommy kail and everything around them is moving. Rose miranda and his director, tommy kail, staged the intensifying rivalry between the two men. Ah miranda yeah, its pretty cool, right . Rose really cool. The turntable was essential. Much it feels more like a memory. Rose many historians, including chernow, believe hamilton deliberately fired into the air, throwing away his shot. Miranda wait rose it is a fatal miscalculation. Miranda i hear wailing in the streets somebody tells me you better hide. Heres the thing about hamilton. I think hamilton was ready to die from the time he was 14 years old. I think what he has is what i have, which is that thing of, tomorrows not promised. I got to get as much done as i can. applause rose people are saying its transformative. Miranda it certainly changes my life. But i think its because, when great people cross our path and im talking about hamilton here it forces us to reckon with what were doing with our at my age, hamilton was treasury secretary and creating our Financial System from scratch. Rose and building a country . Miranda yeah. I wrote two plays. Miranda im not throwing away my shot. The making of the hamilton cast album. Go to 60minutesovertime. Com. Sponsored by lyrica.
