In you look at where the delegate count stands right now trump has a growing lead both ted cruz and john kasich are mathematically eliminated of clinching before the nomination but still needs nearly 400 delegates to clinch.

If you look theyre all in the northeast, midatlantic, the place where donald trump has done best and, george, in three the three biggest states weve seen polls in all of them trump has a huge lead. On the democratic side, jon, on tuesday, Hillary Clinton can put the pledge delegates pretty much out of reach of bernie sanders. She sure could.

The flamboyant performer was a very private man choosing to live out of the spotlight in his minnesota hometown and abcs linsey davis is outside his home good morning, linsey. Reporter good morning, george. When asked once why he chose to still live in minneapolis he said its so cold it keeps the bad people out. He was a mystery and musician and the combination only helped to enhance the intrigue. Sigh cast so purple reporter simply put prince was an enigma, kripty tick and captivating. Offstage youre quiet and mysterious. What is that all about . Im just that way around you. Reporter intriguing and eccentric, androgynous and ambiguous. The lyrics in his song controversy remind much of his life was shrouded in mystery, am i black or white, am i straight or gay, do i believe in god, do i believe in me . Okay, so people think youre weird. They think youre strange. What do you warrant them to know . The music. Reporter prince, he was he was the physical embodiment of pure music. Reporter christopher moon has been credited with discovering him. His dream really wasnt to be a musician. His dream was to be a basketball player. Height worked against him. He let the music do the talking. Reporter the world listened eager as this 52 force broke all the rules. In 1993 when prince clashed with his record label Warner Brothers journalists started to call him the artist formerly known as prince, he compared record labels to slavery. It wasnt until he ended his 18year dispute that he went back to being called prince. A friend of mine said, so what should i call you now and i said you can call me prince and it just felt good to say that again because i hadnt in so long. Reporter still rocking his high heels in 2001 he famously became a gee jovas witness dean donning disguises to go door knocking to talk about his faith but in many ways he treated scream out loud reporter released hundreds of songs and reportedly filled vaults with thousands more. One day someone will we lease them. I dont know that ill get to release them. Reporter at least one indication that weve not yet heard the last of this enigmatic superstar. So sue me if i go too fast reporter princes name changed to an unpronounceable symbol is near the top of Rolling Stones list of boldest career moves in rock n roll history. At times people didnt know what to call him. Today hes being called a genius, a legend and an icon. Joining us now is brian hiatt, senior writing for Rolling Stone magazine and interviewed him and the piece never ran because prince ended up not wanting to pose for a photo. Exactly. Is it safe to assume itll run now. A version of that piece will, indeed, run. Yes. Incredible and surreal experience and feels dreamlike since i hadnt written about it yet but basically paisley park was this sort of selfenclosed world and i wouldnt say had a cultlike atmosphere but certainly had an insular atmosphere where some of the musicians said i literally dont know what day it is or what time it is. Like a vegas casino. Exactly. I mean how would you describe him . Was he a complicated man . He was first of all in person he was very warm and personable and as normal funny. Funny, sure. Funny, absolutely. But, you know, as an artist and as a persona, yeah, hes about as complicated an as an artist could be. He chose to live in minnesota, why . He likes the fact that the cold keeps the bad people away. So but the truth is, listen, he had built this compound here. It was a place where he could do his work and his work were all that mattered to him and its most work with the least distractions. And speaking of his work, hes talked about in the past having a vault thats rumored to have hundreds of unreleased songs. Did he reference the suit . Did you see the vault . Yeah, i didnt see the vault. I know the vault is actually a hard drive, maybe. Yes, we talked about the vault. He said, you know, it lives up to its legend. There are full were going to be releasing a little bit of the interview online and there are full albums. They are from the purple rain period even. So we can expect posthumously legendary songs perhaps. Assuming theres some provision for them to come out. His exwife, mayte, said in an interview he was wearing heels. Not only was he wearing heels and the kind of detail you dream of, he was wearing clear lucite heels that lit up with every step. Seems very fitting. Youre correct and we mentioned you heard linsey say he converted to jehovahs witness in 2001. Did you talk to him about his religion and how it affected his life. We talked about religion a lot. He never used the words jehovahs witness and i couldnt tell whether he had perhaps broadened his religious beliefs or what, but, you know, he certainly he talked about the bible and talked about being grounded in it. He was celibate in recent years. He talked about being celibate. He was rechanneling that energy into other things, he said it was like fasting from food, that after a few days you dont feel it anymore. He said he wasnt perfect, though. He was perfect in terms of his music. Brian hiatt. Thank you so much. We appreciate it. Cant wait to see the article. Coming up here, tony stewart will return to the track taking nascar to task.

Good morning, deborah. Reporter good morning, george. Everybody seems to just be rocking to princes music. Whether he called himself prince, the artist formerly known as prince or that un unpronounceable symbol his fans and other u mikes knew one thing that he was a music genius, a genius who wasnt just in front of the music but was also behind it sharing his incredible gift. She wore a raspberry beret reporter for nearly four decades prince held center stage not only in the hearts of music the world. Among them Justin Timberlake who in 2014 credited prince for being a music visionary unlikeny other. Legendary for giving you something new every time. Reporter on thursday timberlake tweeting, numb, stunned. This cant be real. If he wanted to work with you, you couldnt turn that down.

For minneapolis and music fans around the world, april 21st will always be a day of music unlike any other, died. Last its so clear this morning rather than grief people seem to be channeling all of that stunned energy into celebration of princes incredible life. I mean we all just seem to be rocking and rolling to the song songs, right . Kate coyne is here. Chris connelly is here with us, as well this morning from los angeles. But, deborah, let me begin with you. You saw a lot of it there in your piece. So many talented people wanted to work with prince . It was so obvious i think that he had a golden gut. This guy would touch people and they would become superstars. I remember being at Madison Square garden and watching Misty Copeland dancing to princes music and that was before the world really knew who she was and then a few years later shes i think he just had a way of touching people. The midas touch. Yes, exactly. Being able to spot true talent. Very early on. I want to bring in Chris Connelly from los angeles. Chris, can you talk to us about princes impact on mtv . Well, Michael Jackson sort of kicked the door down for africanamerican artists on mtv but he was the king of pop. Prince along with Everything Else was a rock star. He played the guitar. He had a scary attitude towards sexuality in the idea of a lot of people. He was dangerous. He just didnt look like what some people thought a rock star should look like. When he opened for the Rolling Stones out here in 81 he got booed off the stage and took people a while to understand how great he was and by the time people could see everything he did, his videos became a staple of mtv. Picking up on what chris was saying much like david bowie he did push the boundaries of gender and sexuality. He didnt look the way a rock star looked. Morrisons of the world, there was a certain masculine swagger that those guys had that prince was not interested in and yet he stayed incredibly sexy, i think, while also, you know, breaking all these rules, wearing high heels, lace, eyeliner, ruffles and yet he was undeniably a sex symbol. Yeah, i remember dating myself here when little red corvette came out trying to interpret what that song really meant sort of being like and it was taboo. Or purple rain a lot of us was our first rrated movie. A pretty sexy movie and its pretty sort of heterosexual. Without a doubt. Having some fun with the ladies. Gender bending awe the time. And not seeming to care. He was doing it his way. Also a humanitarian, deborah. I think thats the one thing people are going to learn about him. We knew he was a genius but humanitarian and gave money to Trayvon Martins family and would do concerts for people, cancer survival kind of benefits and gave all kinds of money. The Dance Theater of harlem he gave 250,000 nobody even knew that. Re re really cared about College Bound initiatives but didnt need the acclaim and did it quietly and well learn more about that in the coming days. Chris, his faith was very important to him. Seventh day adventist and then a jehovahs witness and heard about how he was broadening out his spirituality. It was said he was brought into the jehovahs witnesses by larry graham, influential basis of sly and the family stone. A real transition. Later years so maybe that was the result of his newfound faith. Okay, chris, deborah, kate, thank you all very much. You can see much more about the life and legacy on a special edition of 20 20, prince, the legend, the mystery tonight at 10 00. Outside to rob. Look at this crowd we got out here.

Im glad to see its intact for you personally. Can things get worse for Jamie Lannister in season 6 . Well, then of course he the corpse of their daughter which is not a great thing to bring. And, of course, while he was gone, everything changed at kings landing. There was this religious uprising. The faith militant the high sparrow. The high sparrow, he has to deal with all of that. Its beyond complicated. That iss a good way to put it, of course, how do you handle this question because i know everyone walks up to you and says, is jon snow really dead. Well, hes dead. All right. Thats pretty easy answer. Its easy. He couldnt be deader. Yeah. All right. Now, a lot of people are jealous. We recently did a news report that president obama has i heard of that. Been able to watch all of season 6 before the rest of us. Yes. Do you get sneak meeks. No, but im not the president. I guess it gives you some kind of leverage when you call the show and say can i have a sneak peek . Hes pretty good at keeping secrets too, im guessing. You would hope so, right. Especially not me. But i understand even when you guys are doing, you know, scenes that the show runners, the producers actually have code names for your characters so nothing gets out. Well, yes, and then this season was just crazy. You would get scripts are with the code names were there but i didnt know the code names so suddenly there was like a whole new character and i was like who is this person im having dialogue . You dont know what your code name is. Well, no, no well, i was still jamie. Jamie is just jamie but all characters were like big secrets that would appear but also they did that thing with the call sheet you get out every day where it says where people are supposed to be. They use code names and numbers there but they forgot to tell everybody about it so it became very complicated. Complicated once again. How would you want Jamie Lannister to die . I dont want him to die. Thats a really bad thing to say. Everyone die, dont they . He might already be dead. We already shot season 6. I hear you are turning the tables on me and have questions to see if i could answer. I was told you know so much about it. I have some quotes from characters. You have to name the character. When you play the game of thrones, you win or you die. Oh thats easy. Sir xi lanster. Thats true. You know nothing jon snow. I cant think of her name. The redhead. The love of his life.

Time to heat up your summer with dishes from Aaron Sanchez. He and lara teamed up making new recipes with kings hawaiian jalapeno rolls. We are about to spice up your morning thanks to our sponsor kings hawaiian. Our guest, chef partner at johnny sanchez, Aaron Sanchez, youre going to show us some fun things to do. Yeah. We should i said you were sizzling. So youre going to show us some new things to do with a new kings hawaiian bread, one with jalapeno. You can see them in there. These King Hawaiian rolls are studded with this beautiful jalapeno. One flavor that is addictive. They have an inherent sweetness beautiful contrast and i love it. So versatile. Good for bread puddings and anything that needs a roll. If im going to eat bread, im going to eat that kind of bread and i could down that whole square there. What will you make for us. A little bit of slider, okay. Now, obviously you know with ground beef and all the different kinds of things but i want to do it with skirt steak. A very popular cut. Its getting a lot of love, for me where the love comes in is the marinade infuse some flavor re and start with a little chopped garlic. Okay. Okay, to this well add fresh jalapeno and i love this because it reinforces the flavor of the kings hawaiian jalapeno rolls. A little bit of fresh lime and have this doodad right here. I always wanted those. You could get the Aaron Sanchez one. Available in stores now. Yeah, absolutely. No, then well start with a little bit of olive oil, as well. This is a really important tip when you cook, grilling a steak or chicken or Something Like that, really put some oil on the product first because that allow allows the seasoning aadhere. If you were just to put it on without any oil on it the salt or seasoning or rub would just bounce off. So thats it. Simplicity, beautiful, the jalapeno, olive and garlic. I have some here and marinated. I like to let it sit for an hour. You dont have to do it overnight. I dont have time for that. I didnt remember yesterday. Ooh. Nice sear, one thing you want to cook medium rare. I have some here ive gone ahead an done and remove this. How much time to get them medium rare. About five minutes on each side. I like it that way. This is the other tip i want everyone at home to pick up on. So now i have all that residual flavor from the grilling and that marinade, okay. Im not going to let that go down, right.
