lester holt is speaking to lin-manuel >> what is your inspirational message to the world >> oh, you have to make what's missing. that's really the guiding principle. i extend it to myself. if you have seen the heights and say i love those stories, but my story isn't in there you have to get to work and write what's missing i started writing because i did not see stories like that in the art form i loved so much i'm really excited to see what the next generation makes. it's make what they haven't seen. >> you seem like a guy that is always full of big ideas and hurrying to do what you want to do are you an impatient person? >> i'm both patient and very impatient. you know, i work in an art form where i know it will take me minimum three or four years to make the thing you know, i would say in the heights of my 20s and "hamilton" took up my 30s i'm staring down my 40s. >> the journey from the idea to on broadway. >> takes a long time >> tell him the 40s are not so bad. the 40s feel kind of good. for more from lin-manuel miranda and more from the inspiring america airs tomorrow here on sund

inspiring america, we highlight extraordinary people making a positive impact in our communities and when lester holt sat down to interview lin, lin talked about the -- and said dr. herbert and brick prison had a course of his life. >> if the guy was no i wanted a life in the arts and making stuff, and i didn't know what form that would take. i always cut my eighth grade english teacher who kind of caught me writing poems in the back and said, you know it? when you apply that stuff to art class, you are actually pretty good. he was the first person outside of my very supportive family to say, you are a writer and he nudged me in the direction of playwriting because with a student written, student run theater group where we produced student written plays, and that's what nudged me in that direction. i don't know what i would be writing forward for dr. herbert saying go hang out with those kids. >> those kids. that was me in that room, those are the kids we were hanging out with. you will hear from other incredible individuals on inspiring america, the 2021 inspiration list which airs this saturda

yes, it's definitely an increase in lethality and the trend i mentioned in my opening, interestingly, lester the majority of the attacks were from those who espoused antigovernment, anti- authority violent extremism. >> thank you. >> i would defer to the fbi but that is my understanding as well that there has been an increase in contribute old to antigovernment extremists. >> all right. extremists of all varieties use hate speech and social media to motivate and indoctrinate and, in some cases, inspire and facilitate violence while expressing hateful ideas may have first amendment protection, it is also black letter law that the first amendment prohibits governmental sanctioning of speech unless that speech insights quote, imminent lawless action and is likely to incite such action unquote. drawing a line between what is free expression and what is terrorism is something we are clearly still struggling with. possibly because there are numerous types of groups there seem to be many different popular perceptions of what violent extremism and terrorism means. government agencies need clarity. i

when lester holt sat down to interview lin, he talked about the influence that dr. herbert and brick prison had on the course of his life. >> well, i think i always knew i wanted a life in the arts and making stuff, and i didn't know what form that would take. i always credit my eighth grade english teacher who kind of caught me writing poems in the back and said, you know, when you apply that stuff to our class, you're actually pretty good. i think he was the first person outside of my very supportive family to say you're a writer, and he nudged me in the direction of playwrighting because we had a where we prod student-written plays. that's what nudged me in that direction. i don't know what i would be writing if it weren't for dr. herbert saying go hang out with those kids. >> those kids. that was me in that room. those were the kids that we were hanging out with. you'll hear from other incredible individuals on inspiring america, the 2021 inspiration list, which airs this saturday, may 1st, 8:00 p.m. eastern, and on msnbc sunday at 10:00 p.m. eastern. don't miss

lester holt said he seemed relaxed and confident and it is clear he is picking things that are popular, big price tags the popular. if i had $6 trillion more on top of what i was allowed to spend i can sound great during a state of the union address to the joint session of congress by laying out things to spend money on to make your life better and never explain how to pay for it besides tax the rich. >> not a thought provoking critique by any member of the media to the biden speech but a much tougher tone on senator tim scott's rebuttal, cnn and msnbc trashing it, take a listen. >> a speech delivered from a planet where facts don't matter which is where the current republican party resides. >> it is ordinarily partisan speech for tim scott. >> this is standard. >> america is not a racist country, there is no racism here. not sure what the purpose of this was. >> where do folks like nicole wallace, republican as much as i'm starting center for the next, saying his views on race, call it what it is, isn't that literally the unconscious bias that lives all the time in front of our eyes?

lester? >> all right, miguel thank you. earlier i spoke to cdc director rochelle walensky about the timing of the new mask recommendations. dr. walensky, what changed in the science that allowed this new recommendation to be made >> so there's both a change in the science and a change in where we are with this pandemic and where we are in getting the country vaccinated we know from science that less than 10% of cases of covid-19 have been occurring outdoors so we have the science to say outdoor transmission is much rarer than indoor transmission that with cases now starting to plateau and come down have really helped us move this guidance forward. >> with the risk so low for outdoor transmission, why not remove the mask requirement for even unvaccinated people? >> because we still believe that there is transmission people are gathering near one another they're coming less than six feet apart, and we know that this virus can trick us so we want to be very careful for people who are unvaccinate

again, a step forward here, lester. but it comes against the backdrop that the fact that cases are still rising in about a dozen states and the fact that 4 in 10 americans still say they're hesitant to take the vaccine. so there is still this hurdle here of getting the requisite number of people vaccinated in order to reach that herd immunity. taking a step back, the politics of this, lester, this is coming as president biden approaches his 100th day in office. he campaigned on a promise to turn the page in the fight against covid. and so he's trying to make the case that he's starting to do that. but that big "x" factor, vaccine hesitancy, that will continue to be a hurdle and you heard him there say it's all hands on deck to deal with that and say that they're sending resources to india which is in need with cases on the rise there, lester. >> let me bring in dr. john torres. we keep hearing how effective these vaccinations are and yet we're still being asked to wear these masks in limited situations. i can't help won

lester >> the political math to all this. hallie, thanks >>> president biden is set to mark his first 100 days and our new nbc news poll shows a slim majority approve of his performance. 69% say that he's done well on the pandemic but just 33% approve of his handling of border security and immigration. despite the president touting himself as a unifier, 82% say we are still divided. let's get more on all this from peter alexander. >> reporter: from the kickoff of his campaign -- >> yes, unity over division >> reporter: -- to the start of his presidency biden's cast himself as a voice of unity. >> i'll work with democrats and republicans. >> reporter: but 100 days in, the president's signature accomplishment is the only covid relief bill that attracted no republican votes the gop slamming him they say cater to the democratic base. we came here to georgia, a state president biden flipped blue for the first time in decades by the narrowest of margins. do t americans? what was the low point like for you during this pandemic? >> j

listen to the part of the 911 call that lester holt wanted his audience to hear. >> officer nicholas riordan who joined the force in december of 2019 was responding to a 911 call. video shows riordan approaching a group of young people. >> what the video shows is the female with the knife attempting to stab the first female. >> reporter: riordan fires his weapon four times striking bryant. >> this was a lie of omission is a purposeful one. what they conveniently cut out with someone screaming the girl was trying to stab us, she screamed and the girl turned out to be 16-year-old bryant. nbc didn't show viewers the knife in bryant's hand as she was shot by police. this all seems shocking until you remember that lester holt admitted while accepting a journalism award 3 weeks ago the following. >> it has become clear that fairness is overrated. the idea that we should always give two sides equal weight and merit does not reflect the world we find ourselves in. providing an open platform for misinformation for anyone to say whatever they want especially on issues of public health and safe

support this comes after nbc anchor lester holt said this is overrated just a few weeks ago, lester? the neck i think it has become clearer that ernest is overrated paid the idea that we should always give two sides equal weight and merit does not reflect the world we find ourselves in. that the sun sets in the west is a fact. in a contrary view does not deserve our time or attention. decisions to not give unsupported arguments equal time are not a dereliction of journalistic responsibility or some kind of agenda. in fact it is just the opposite. before he has a host of unsupported arguments their part are left awaiting is being deceptive to fix an anti- police narrative, mike chase? >> i think lester holt there would think fairness is overrated we don't have dig give equal weight to two sides, apparently stagnant something completely different. because what happened here was not caring about one side versus the other brit was intentionally editing the documentary record in order to create a link try the the case your cross-examining witnesses in court, and they omit things intention

[shouting] >> nightly news anchor lester holt did mention the knife during the segment but media critic joe concha says he owes his viewers an apology. >> the stakes are far too high and don't tell me this was an innocent mistake at something that was left on the editing room accidentally. >> meantime the girl who was nearly stabbed by a ma'kiah bryant was referred to as someone who was closer to bryant she was shot. she then appears to agree with the gas that says the deadly use of force was not appropriate, here's a sample. >> i look at that video and i asked that were my child or if my child was still close to ma'kiah when she was shot, what would have happened? i think a lot of people are asking that. >> it is notable that both abc news and cbs did show the body cam video of the girl holding a knife and did play the 911 call that mention the stabbing. this week cbs was criticized for not showing video of 13-year-old adam toledo appearing to toss a gun moments before he was shot and killed by police. >> trace gallagher, thank you. first up and tonight's real news roundup, the quick t

watching "nbc nightly news" with lester holt. jen psaki plied the systemic racism narrative to the case. >> the killing of 16-year-old ma'khia bryant is tragic. she was a child. police violence disproportionately impacts black and latino communities. black women and girls experience higher rates of police violence. our focuses on working to address systemic racism and implicit bias head-on. >> greg: so the cop is racist after he saved a black girl's life. jan has claimed more -- fan more flames than the santa ana winds. don lemon said something smart. >> when police are tracing people they don't know how old they are. they see people. someone has a knife. their job is to protect and serve. >> greg: amen. so all lives do matter after all. lawrence, one thing people don't talk about about the police officer, we have more than a few police officers in jail. we've had some ugly cases. he could have not done anything. he risked everything in an incident like this. he runs to this thing. >> lawrence: no, he could not have. he would've
