anyone who may have seen anything and can provide evidence or information on this case. authorities have also contacted law enforcement across the country, asking those agencies to be on alert for any sign of the suspect. this morning for the first time we are also getting our first listen to some of those moments as the drama unfolded, the panic and confusion that began right after that shooting. >> reporter: this morning steve stephens is on the fbi's most wanted list, the hunt intensifying and now going nationwide. >> our reach now is basically all over this country. >> reporter: this as new 911 tapes are released of the moment a neighbor witnessed the shooting aftermath of the unarmed elderly man. >> where was he shot at? >> he's been shot in the head. >> is he awake at all? >> no. he's unconscious. he's dead. >> reporter: authorities say stephens' cell phone signal

pinged 100 miles east of cleveland, near erie, pennsylvania. police say they made contact with him by phone late sunday trying to persuade him to turn himself in, but now the trail has gone cold. >> he's dangerous and could be a lot of places. >> reporter: stephens recorded this shocking video of himself randomly targeting 74-year-old robert godwin killing him in cold blood, then posting it to facebook sunday afternoon. >> the past year has been really [mute] up for me. >> reporter: this morning we're learning more about the 37-year-old suspect, a case manager who worked with troubled youth. >> every day but when it comes to my [ bleep ] nobody gives a [ bleep ]. >> reporter: in his facebook rants, complaining about the downward spiral of his life after gambling and girlfriend trouble. earlier videos posted to his youtube page a stark contrast showing the cleveland native bowling, fishing and even celebrating -- >> yeah, we did it, baby. >> reporter: -- his city's basketball win last year. a former college friend of the

alleged killer stunned. >> it was an act of cowardice. stand up. be a man. turn yourself in. >> reporter: overnight family and friends gathering to remember the innocent victim who leaves behind ten children and 14 grandchildren. >> i saw the video and it forever will be in my mind because i saw the fear in my father's eyes. he was so frightened. >> he was. >> he was so afraid. so sweet. >> reporter: and authorities say they are following up on, quote, dozens and dozens of tips. there's now a $50,000 reward for any information leading to his arrest in this case. robin. >> joining us is rebecca jarvis and our contributor, former dallas police chief, david brown. chief brown, let me start with you. where does the search stand right now? >> it's a national search. it's been reported and we are combing all of the technology that he might use, beyond cell

phones, to social media, might be leads that might develop, as well as family and friends because it's highly suggestive that he's getting help in order to be able to disappear off the. >> yesterday we were saying there were five states that were on high alert. now they're saying a nationwide search. as more time passes it becomes a little more complicated. >> more complicated and difficult for law enforcement to be able to locate. they need help from the public and made those pleas to the public to report anything they see that might be suspicious or a tip that leads them to capture the suspect. >> you're familiar with searching for suspects, so, what's next in the manhunt, do you think? >> most of all there are cameras at tollways and cameras in public spaces like malls and locations where people frequent and so we're combing all of those types of technologies in order to hopefully get that one little tip of a license plate or just a suspicious thing that happened that people report and

follow up on that but it's, again, a needle in the haystack type of search so we need the public's help and we need to emphasize that it's a crime to hinder apprehension and secrete him. >> there is a thought he must be getting help here. rebecca, going back to facebook, what are they saying this morning about this? >> what's so interesting as chief brown points out technology can help us find this individual, but it also helped this individual put his story public and overnight facebook has now apologized for this video being up on its site for as long as it did and said as a result of this terrible series of events we are reviewing our reporting flows to be sure people can report videos and other material that violates our standards as easily and quickly as possible. we know we need to do better. and do better is part of the thing. the users of facebook are the people who help facebook take down this material. >> that's true. >> in order to take down material like this as of today,

facebook needs people to go on their site and say, this exists. >> there's nothing legally wrong with what facebook did. but people are thinking morally, is there something more they can do. >> they want to do more and developing technology to try to do more. if you look at that time line between the time this individual posted this video and they took it down, it was more than two hours. >> both of you thanks so much. george. >> we are following lots of other important stories. president trump heading to wisconsin where he's going to sign an executive order on buy american, hire american and buy american goods. the president also making calls and sending tweets in a bid to stop a democrat running in a special election in georgia. that has been the republican seat. the votes happening today. overseas tensions are reaching a boiling point with north korea. that regime promising weekly missile tests now as vice-president mike pence continues his tour of the region. >> let's go right to abc's matt gutman in seoul, south korea, for all the latest. matt. >> reporter: good morning,

robin. we've been hearing more saber rattling with north korea vowing those additional missile test, but everybody in the region still on tenterhooks awaiting the much anticipated nuclear test, that as vice president mike pence in the region this morning saying all options are on the table including economic and diplomatic pressure. overnight, vice president mike pence in japan reassuring u.s. allies and asia and warning north korea that all options are still on the table. >> the era of strategic patience is over. we will not rest and we will not relent until we achieve the objective of a denuclearized korean peninsula. >> reporter: with tensions between the u.s. and north korea reaching a new boiling point, president trump offering three simple words to the country on monday. >> got to behave. >> reporter: north korea on the defense. its deputy u.n. ambassador blaming the u.s. for putting the

korean peninsula on the brink of nuclear warfare essentially warning the hermit state would fight to the death. >> the thermonuclear war may break out any moment on the peninsula. >> reporter: and the country's vice foreign minister defiantly batting a message back to president trump in an interview with the bbc, saying, if anything, the country will only increase its missile tests. our nuclear weapons protect us from that threat. we will be conducting more missile tests on a weekly, monthly and yearly basis, that as new details emerge on that failed missile test on saturday. u.s. officials say it was a medium or possibly short-range missile that blew up seconds after launch. while the range of this type of missile is unclear. north korea is developing a missile that could travel over 2,000 miles within range of guam and even longer range missiles, one of them could be capable of traveling over 7,000 miles, able to hit the u.s. mainland. despite north korea's latest

provocations the white house saying the president likely won't be drawing red lines in the sand. trump telling fox news that he's not telling his strategies. >> i don't want to say what i'm thinking or doing. i'm not like other administrations. i'm not going to say we're doing this in four weeks. it doesn't work that way. >> reporter: short of war some of the things that are being talked about limiting the already crippled exports of north korea and grounding its national airline, all that tension already rippling across the pacific and hawaii. lawmakers are dusting off emergency plans. they would have only 20 minutes to prepare in case of a possible attack there. >> george. a lot of tension, matt gutman, thanks very much. president trump planning to sign new executive orders this afternoon as ivanka trump was awarded a lucrative trademark from china on the same day she sat down with the chinese president in mar-a-lago. and cecilia vega has all the

latest. good morning, cecilia. >> reporter: good morning to you, the associated press is reporting that the famous first daughter's business is booming. sales they say have hit record levels. imports are up and at least some of that success has come during some key moments during her short time here at the white house. now, the day that ivanka trump's company won provisional approval from the chinese government for three new trademarks, that would give that company monopoly rights to sell things like jewelry and bags there, that night she and her husband, jared kushner, dined with china's president at mar-a-lago. ethics experts are already weighing in and saying this could pose serious conflict of interest concerns. ivanka trump personally has tried to distance herself from her company and stepped down as ceo. she has said that she would recuse herself from conflicts of interest. we tried to ask ivanka trump, the white house, her team about this report. they have not responded to us yet but her attorney, take a look at this -- did tell the associated press, quote, she has retained authority to direct the

trustees to terminate agreements that she determines create a conflict of interest or the appearance of one. but some big questions about that this morning. >> can she judge her own conflict is the question. meantime, these executive orders from the president designed to encourage hiring of american workers and buying of american products but they're somewhat limited in scope. >> reporter: exactly. the white house says this new order will make it tougher for tech companies to replace americans with foreign workers. we're talking about these highly skilled workers on these h1b visas. during the campaign then candidate trump had called for a moratorium on these visas. that doesn't go that far and also doesn't seem to impact the seasonal workers at the mar-a-lago hotel. >> he brings them in down at mar-a-lago and let's bring in jon karl for more. all kinds of question, john, about the merging of the president's business, family's businesses with government action and you just saw cecilia's report right there. it's also being raised in the whole debate over tax reform. you talked to the white house yesterday about that. democrats saying that they're

going to have to see how any tax reform is going to affect trump's bottom line. >> reporter: yeah, democrats -- keep in mind he needs democrats to pass tax reform. this needs to be a bipartisan approach if it's going to have any chance of passing in congress and, george, what democrats are saying is they want to see donald trump's tax returns before they agree to anything on tax reform because they want to know how the tax changes would affect trump and the trump organization. >> meanwhile, you were in the white house briefing room yesterday with sean spicer. he made it about as clear as they have in the past although he was a little circumspect that the president is not going to release his tax returns. >> reporter: i asked him point blank can we now just acknowledge the president is never ever going to release his tax returns and sean instead of kind of pushing back on that says i'll just have to get back to you on this. they're no longer saying he will certainly release them if whatever audit he may or may not be under is complete. they're saying, look, maybe he

just won't ever release those tax returns. >> the president weighing in on the special congressional election down in georgia today. he did this robo call overnight. let's listen. >> hello, this is president donald trump. liberal democrats from outside of georgia are spending millions and millions of dollars trying to take your republican congressional seat away from you. don't let them do it. >> jon, he's up and tweeting early this morning. >> reporter: this is a fascinating race. he's saying if we simply get to a runoff and if the democrat gets to less than 50%, this will be a victory. this is a fascinating district because it has been republican for years. this was newt gingrich's district but donald trump only won that district by one percentage point last year. >> we will watch today. jon karl, thanks very much. now to the huge legal battle over the death penalty in arkansas. the state planning to execute eight men on death row in 11 days but overnight the supreme

court intervened. the state forced to abandon its plan minutes before one of the inmate's death warrant was set to expire and abc's mary bruce is at the supreme court with those details for us. good morning, mary. >> reporter: good morning, robin. this morning the first inmate set to be executed in this aggressive plan has been spared by the courts. overnight the supreme court stepping in, refusing to overturn a lower courts's decision to halt the execution of don davis, who was set to be executed last night along with a fellow inmate but just hours prior, the state supreme court blocked them. it was so close that davis was actually given his final meal for dinner. the governor says he's vowing to fight on, saying, we will continue to fight back. on last minute appeals and efforts to block justice for the victims' families. now the remaining executions are still set to continue but will also likely be challenged in court. robin. to the search for two hikers who were swept away at a creek

in grand national park. they're from the family who founded the merril hiking boot company. abc's kayna whitworth is in los angeles with the details. >> reporter: the two have been missing now more than 48 hours. they were in their second day of a multi-day backpacking trip. family members telling us they are experienced and they have the skills to survive the rugged terrain. this morning, investigators desperately searching to locate two missing hikers who were swept away in the rushing waters of the grand canyon this weekend. 14-year-old jackson standefer and his step grandmother 62-year-old lou-ann merrell were hiking with a group including jackson's mother in a remote area of arizona on saturday. the national park service says the group was crossing this creek with fast-moving water when the two fell in and were swept away. >> this particular kind of incident is extremely rare. that two people would be washed away in a creek crossing is

something that is almost unheard of in our local memory of grand canyon incidents. >> in 1981 randy merrell had an idea to create a hiking boot. >> reporter: lou-ann merrell is married to the head of merrell and is said to be an experienced hiker who knows the area well. jackson's uncle writing on facebook that where the hikers are is hot during the day and freezing at night and the water they were in was probably below 40 degrees. >> they were well provisioned for a multi-day trip. both were reported to have food and water in their backpacks. we believe they're equipped and have the knowledge to survive. >> reporter: now, the boy's uncle telling the a.p. this morning that searchers have found their backpacks. it's important to note this happened in such a remote part of the grand canyon search crews are having to stay the night into the wilderness. some areas can't be accessed by foot so they're using boats, helicopters and drones to find the two.

with the intent they will be given to prince. johnson telling investigators he was unaware prince was addicted to pain medication, despite witnesses telling police the star's assistant had arranged a meeting with a rehab center for help and that center's representative at the home the morning prince died and called 911. >> at paisley park, 7801 audubon road. person down not breathing. >> reporter: the music star's ex-wife telling "good morning america" -- >> he was a machine. he was a machine. music kept him going. that was his drug. that's what i knew. >> reporter: what's still not clear is where prince got that powerful narcotic fentanyl that ultimately took his life. investigators scouring his computer, e-mail and phone records looking for clues but still no answer to that question. >> for more let's bring in dr. drew pinsky. always good to see you and get your insight and perspective. you heard the report. you've heard what these

documents are alleging and so what do you make of the fact that so many prescriptions, so many drugs were found in various areas of the house? >> well, robin, i don't make much of it. it's just sort of standard fare for somebody with a history of opioid excess, stashes it all over. sort of a typical thing. what is unusual about the prince case, many things are unusual but some things that jump out are the issue of the fentanyl. how and why he got enough to take in such a huge amount. that's a hard drug to overdose on unless you're shooting it. i will remind people, people don't typically die of prescription opioid use unless you add a benzodiazepine and in his case they found alprazolam. that combination has killed people for the last decade. the problem is is that people graduate from that to heroin as physicians are getting the message we have to curtail the prescribing of oral opiates. >> talking about physicians, we heard in eva's report about that doctor who said that he filled a

prescription under a friend's name for privacy reasons. you're not buying that. >> well, if that's true, again, we don't know what the doctor was up to, but if a doctor does that it is unconscionable. it's just unthinkable to do. it violates safety codes and rules and we can't monitor the practices but it does highlight one thing that happens all the time which is that people in special positions -- excuse me, celebrities and whatnot often seek out special care. michael jackson's physician being case "a" of that and when you get special care, you inevitably get substandard care. the standard of care is the standard for a reason. it's the best care and if a physician is somehow sort of turned on by taking care of somebody special, that's terrible for the patient. what prince needed was the same as every person with addiction. he lived 30 minutes from one of the premiere treatment centers in the country. he lived 30 minutes from

hazelden. they could have taken him there and he would be alive today but the special needs people flying from san francisco, it's unthinkable. unthinkable to try to treat an opioid addict like that. >> dr. drew, thanks as always. coming up in two minutes,.the surprising new claims about conservative fire brand alex jones. are all his conspiracy theories just an act? eories just an act? theories just an act? the toothpaste that helpstax, prevent bleeding gums. if you spit blood when you brush or floss

back with new questions about one of president trump's top supporters. the conservative radio host alex jones who's known for his conspiracy theories is in the middle of a bitter custody battle and now his lawyer is arguing all of his talk on the radio is really just part of him being a performance artist. our chief correspondent tom llamas here with the details. good morning, tom. >> reporter: george, good morning to you. alex jones claims president trump called him directly of the election to thank him and his audience for their loyalty but does jones really support trump, or is it all big one act for ratings? >> donald trump, i hope you can

help uncripple america. thank you so much, sir. >> reporter: every day millions watch, read or listen to alex jones, one of president trump's biggest and most controversial cheerleaders. >> i just want to finish by saying your reputation is amazing. i will not let you down. you will be very, very impressed, i hope. >> reporter: praise from then candidate trump even though jones the alt-right conspiracy theorist behind the site infowars claimed the tragedy at sandy hook where 20 children were shot and killed was a hoax. >> sandy hook is a synthetic completely fake with actors in my view manufactured. >> reporter: he claims 9/11 was an inside job. >> i'll tell you the bottom line, 98% chance this was a government orchestrated controlled bombing. i've been telling you this was going to happen. >> reporter: but now the austin american statesman reports lawyers for jones are saying the man behind those radical ideas which garnered more than a

billion youtube views is just plain a character, that he's a performance artist. the shocking claim coming during a pretrial custody hearing between jones and his ex-wife. reporter jonathan tilove has been in court covering the case for the paper. >> one of alex jones' lawyers said that to hold alex jones accountable for the character he plays on air would be like holding jack nicholson accountable for the role he played as the joker in "batman", that this is a performance. >> reporter: his ex-wife says he's not a stable person. incapable of caring for their three children full time, and he broadcasts from his home where their kids can watch him. make threats like this one on alec baldwin. >> i will break your jaw. i will knock your teeth out. i will break your nose and i will break your neck. >> reporter: the case and judge said it should be best for the children. this case is not about infowars and i don't want it to be about infowars.

now, jurors will have to decide if there's a difference between alex jones the host and alex jones the father. jones and his wife have been divorced since 2015. he currently has full custody of the children. jury selection is now under way. >> tom, let's talk about it with our chief legal analyst dan abrams right now. so, alex jones' whole brand is based on the idea giving you the real story and not the fake news. now he seems caught between protecting his brand and preserving his relationship with his kids. >> because on the one hand saying outrageous things is really good for ratings. it can help you get shares and views and traffic and money, and yet saying really outrageous things does not help in the context of a custody battle. really interesting though to hear that the judge is saying i don't want this to be about infowars. that's a good sign for alex jones because he wants to separate as much as possible out what he says there from what he

does in person. >> does that mean the judge is buying the argument -- >> not necessarily. look -- and because we got to be careful. this is a custody battle where you decide what is in the best interest of the children. and that's ultimately what the judge is going to have to focus on. hyper focus on. try not to get too caught up in what he says. now, the problem for alex jones is if you do get a judge who says, my goodness, these sorts of things said in the house where the studio is, near the children, et cetera, could be detrimental to them. i mean it's sort of an unbelievable situation here. the real question is going to be in my view from a media perspective, do his listeners care. >> that's what i was going to get to next. do we know -- he's not rebutting his lawyer. >> i don't think they're going to care. look, these are people listening to stuff talking about 9/11 conspiracy theories and how oklahoma city and sandy hook and all these other things were an inside job. you get some language in a custody hearing where he said, oh, i was an entertainer. i don't think these are people

palace behind me because she revealed this is something she has to deal with every single day. take a look. this morning, real life royalty joining forces with the queen of pop. ♪ giving me a million reasons >> hello, prince william. >> hello, lady gaga. >> reporter: prince william facetiming lady gaga from kensington palace, discussing the need to open up about mental health. >> for me, the little bits that i've learned so far about mental health is very much the case of, it's okay to have this conversation, it's really important to have this conversation. >> reporter: lady gaga touching on her own experience, revealing she was suffering from ptsd from a sexual assault when she was 19 years old. >> even though it was hard, it was the best thing that could come out of my mental illness was to share it with other people and to let, you know, our generation as well as other generations know that if you are feeling not well in your mind that you're not alone. >> reporter: the pair

championing this cause agreeing to do more to end the stigma surrounding mental health. the duke and duchess of cambridge along with prince harry have been involved with mental health causes since last year. >> we are not hiding anymore. we're starting to talk and that's what we need to do really. >> it's time that everyone speaks up and really -- it feels very normal about mental health because it's the same as physical health. >> reporter: of course, this comes a day after prince harry gave his very powerful interview in which he opened up about his own mental health issues after his mother died in 1997 admitting that he almost had a breakdown and his brother encouraged him to seek after ending years of him suffering in silence. >> we were surprised when you reported that to us yesterday but prince william and also lady gaga, yes, it's a very heavy subject talking about mental health but they also had some lighter moments when they were talking, didn't they?

>> reporter: oh, absolutely, robin. the conversation was absolutely brilliant. it was like they were two old chums shooting the breeze and chatting up. but they're both using their star power to bring awareness to a subject they both feel passionally about. >> you got to love the open, hello, prince william, hello, lady gaga. >> why not. historic weekend hollywood. "fate of the furious" breaking the box office record, eighth film in that popular series. here's what it got. $532.5 million worldwide, surpassing "star wars: the force awakens." chris connelly joins us. what's the secret? >> a lot of rubber hitting the road. the big secret is it's an international hit. this was huge overseas. a massive opening. the biggest film opening in the history of china, for example. ironically enough it only opened to $100 million in america, less than the last "fast and furious" film opened.

no one is complaining. it was huge hit. both "the fast and furious" and "star wars" franchises are massive successes. one of the reasons, family. that has two meanings. one, inclusive casts for age and gender and ethnicity. you see yourself up on stage and see yourself up on screen and that's special and see big stars in familiar situations over and over again and you feel like they're family and we saw that in a touching way in real-life situations. think of the emotional outpouring for the passing of paul walker and the emotional outpouring for the passing of carrie fisher. we care for these people. especially when we see them in these films. >> we feel like we know them so all of this money that they're raking in and still have critics who say, well, it's not original and this, that and other and you're like, oh, come on now. it's obviously working. >> well, the problem is family costs money. when you have these big stars in movies over and over you have to pay increasingly high talent cost. not every film is a "star wars"

or "fast and furious" movie. if you're a studio executive who's thinking about doing a sequel, you've got a lot of choices to make because a lot of sequels in hollywood cost more than the original film and make a significant amount less so do you want to keep paying those stars a multiple of what they might otherwise make and see if they strike gold. tough decision for anybody to make. >> we saw the new trailer for "the last jedi," the next "star wars" film but the bar is high. can it cross over? >> yeah, i can predict that film will make $1 jillion. no problem getting over that bar i don't think. >> you heard it here first. all right, chris, thank you very much. coming up, the cast of "pretty little liars" here live sharing secrets behind the final season. acronyms are fun. lol laugh out loud, btw by the way, and of course, wbyceiydbo we'll buy your car even if you don't buy ours

with thoughts of suicide or alternatives to taking one's one life. >> it's really important for people to know that about 90% of the people that die by suicide have a mental health issue at the time of they are death. they miss the mental health aspects when it comes to suicides that are well known and well documented worldwide. >> reporter: show producers say they hope the series can help those who may be struggling as selena gomez shared in the netflix after show "beyond the reasons" accompanying the series. >> we wanted to do it in a way where it was honest and we wanted to make something that can hopefully help people because suicide should never ever be an option. >> reporter: overnight netflix telling abc news in a statement, we support the unflinching vision of the show's creators who engaged the careful advice of medical professionals in the script writing process. the producing team saying they add suicide prevention resources and information on crisis hotlines in more than 35 countries on a sister website. for "good morning america," mara schiavocampo, abc news, new

york. >> thanks to mara for that and we're here with dr. janet taylor, child psychiatrist. i watched a couple with my older daughter elliott who is 14. it's both gripping and disturbing at the same time but we decided it was too much for our 11-year-old. >> well, as parents we have that option but the reality is i applaud selena gomez. you had lady gaga talking about mental health issues because we have to break the silence and too often young people especially suffer in silence thinking they're the only ones, so you made the decision as parents it's too much but for so many kids they might not have parents to talk to and don't talk about it. and the reality is it affects everyone. >> how do you get the balance right between revealing something and reaching out to people and glamorizing it? >> well, again, i think we don't talk enough about when things aren't going well. i had a young patient who said i had to be perfect because i'm so flawed. where did she get that?

from people who -- really fake in terms of covered up and not seeing the raw issues that bullying accounts for. the raw issues that sexual abuse or trauma or sexual assault and because kids feel like they can't talk about it, they keep silent. we have to break the silence and talk to our parents and counselors. if you have a history of mental illness, be aware of it and talk to your children. if your child makes a threat about wanting to hurt themselves, take it seriously. >> that's the big sign to watch for. >> it is but we have to communicate. share experiences. being a teenager in today's world is not all that it's cracked up to be what it is. i think the show gives the opportunity to watch together and talk about those issues and listen without judgment. >> thanks for coming in. we'll be right back. l be right back.

absolutely unfazed by a home fire alarm. >> i have one. the kid and i are counting down to the last day of school for very different reasons. that's a good one. >> any time i see a lost toy i don't feel bad for the kid losing his mind because it's gone. i feel bad for the parents losing their minds looking for it. >> sage advice. >> getting my hand stamped use to mean getting into a crowded nightclub. now it means my son and i are here to see the penguins. >> like deep thoughts by a parent. >> we were talking about -- i don't know if you remember "sex and the city" and when carrie, her boyfriend broke up with her on that little post-it and said i'm sorry, i can't, don't hate me. >> too late. >> that's what i think about. much better by text. >> we asked some of our audience

okay, let's move on. we have a great story that -- any of you ever feel judged when you take a yoga class? >> yes. >> you're nodding your head. you are going to feel it right now because we're about to meet a florida judge who actually teaches yoga on the courthouse lawn. there she is right there, eleni derke. how is it going this morning, eleni? >> good morning. we're here ready to do some yoga for you. >> tell me how you came up with this idea. >> uh-oh, she's going to de-robe. taking it off. >> i can't do yoga in the robe, you know. >> the women behind you -- >> about two years ago -- what's that? i'm sorry. >> go ahead. >> well, about two years ago the president of the jacksonville bar association asked me to head up the health committee and i thought, what a better way to stay healthy than to do yoga so i started teaching yoga on the lawn every first friday of every month and right now we're just getting members of the legal

community but the class is open to everybody because you know at the courthouse people need yoga. >> i'm sure of that. and -- >> high-stress situation. >> and i guess you're building a different kind of community out there. >> well, yeah, i mean, it's -- people just love yoga. i think they need to destress, especially the legal communities. you know, yoga is the best form of stress release, and by definition, the legal community is an adversarial system so it's just made for a high stress situation. so these attorneys, i mean, they're in the courtroom. they're warriors in there. so they come out here and then they're warriors on their mats. destress, they can refocus and then they can go back and do their jobs just right. >> is it true you've also tried to use some of these techniques with your juries? >> i sure have.

those chairs for so many hours. i don't make them but i usually just say, why don't we all just stand up, inhale, arms overhead. take a deep breath in and exhale them back down. that energizes them. no falling asleep on my watch. >> and, of course, you're the judge so they have to do what you say. >> exactly. >> you know what, i feel bad about that and i didn't really think about that when i was doing it. but it's for their own good. >> absolutely. i would agree. >> well, everybody behind you, one in particular she has been holding that pose the entire time in the glasses behind you. she gets credit for that. >> they are very well trained. >> do you want to show us a few moves before we leave you. can you show us a few moves? >> of course, sure. all right. so warrior two on the left first. virabhadrasana ii. we're going to reverse it.
