including three golds, and finished one-two in women's beach volleyball. >> here is the medal count this morning. the u.s. now has 82 medals overall, taking the lead over china. however, the chinese still have the most gold medals. russia is in third place, followed by britain and germany. mark phillips is covering the olympics in london. mark, good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning, gayle, charlie. well, the stars were aligned in the heavens, and at the starting line here. it was a good day to be an american in the main olympic stadium. not so hot if you're jamaican, about you their time will come again. but let's start somewhere else. spare a thought this morning for borg es. you train for years for the biggest moment of your athletic life, and poof, or rather snap, it's gone. there were other memorable moments here that didn't involve winning, at least not winning medals. there was another kind of victory for sara atar, the first woman ever to run in the olympics for saudi arabia, which was finally pressured to send a few women athletes to these gapes.

she finished last in her heat and was delighted. >> well, i think it really shows that there's progress honestly, and that we were allowed to compete. it shows that more steps are going to come, and this is just an amazing thing. and for women in saudi arabia, i think it can be inspiring, you know, to not give up on your dreams. because it can and will come true. >> trying to hang on. >> reporter: for something completely different, a leap across the cultural divide to the beach volleyball gold medal game, which was an all-american and in fact all-californian event. kerry walsh jennings and misty trainer who dominated for a decade dominated again, beating jennifer kesse and misty ross. and it was an evening of intense rivalry on the track between the united states and jamaica.

the smooth running allyson felix got her long awaited retribution after being beaten out my veronica campbell brown in the 200 meter sprints in the last two games. felix found enough down the straight to finally win her gold. aris merritt won his gold in the 200 meter hurdles. brittany reese was so distracted by the u.s. success on the track she lomb falmost forgot to make last long jump. the u.s. track and field team may be on track for what it wants to accomplish here, a 30-medal haul. gold in the men's 200 meter, though, may be an unreachable dream. jamaican usain bolt, the fastest man in the world in the 100 meters, jogged to win his heat. the rest of the world is running for second. and the ioc seems poised to take a gold medal away from the u.s. from cyclist tyler hamilton, who won his gold at the athens

olympics eight years ago. eight years is the statute of limitation on gold, and hamilton admitted to cbs "60 minutes" last year he had taken performance enhancing drugs. it seems you can pedal, but you can't hind. republicans will hold their national convention in three weeks. only one last decision to be made, a running mate for mitt romney. jan crawford is in washington where the anticipation and the speculation are growing fast. jan, good morning. >> reporter: well, good morning charlie and gayle. good morning to our viewers in the west. there are two big questions you hear right now in washington. when is romney going to make this pick, and who will it be? in iowa, it looked and sounded like another day on the campaign trail for mitt romney. >> this economy has been tough for a long time. >> reporter: but behind the politicking, romney is weighing what some say will be his most important decision as a candidate, selecting his running mate. on wednesday, ann romney added to the buzz tweeting mitt's choice will be announced soon.

earlier in the week, vp watchers wondered if they had gotten a clue. republicans started rolling out their convention speakers, and several, including former secretary of state condoleezza rice, had been rumored to be on romney's short list, with the prime vp speaking slot still open, some wondered if the announced speakers didn't make the cut. romney quickly shut down the speculation. >> the fact that somebody is speaking at the convention doesn't mean that they wouldn't necessarily find their speaking slot changed from one time to another. >> reporter: now the focus is on a bus tour that romney kicks off saturday. he'll be joined by potential number twos, ohio senator rob portman and reportedly florida senator marco rubio. but if there's anything to learn from past vp reveals, it's to expect the unexpected. >> senator, i am honored to be chosen as your running mate. >> reporter: take 2008, when senator john mccain surprised the country by going with then-alaska governor sarah palin. >> i think we sort of, you know,

hit the richter scale on surprise. >> reporter: rick davis helped mccain to select palin, knowing that he needed a game changing pick. but he says that romney doesn't need to be as bold because the race already is close. >> there's no question that he is in a little bit more enviable position than john mccain was. i think he is a very conservative man. i think he wants someone who would be like him, who would govern with the same style and philosophy. >> reporter: now romney's short list, rob portman and tim pawlenty, considered safe picks. but a lot of conservatives are encouraging romney to go bold, pick someone like congressman paul ryan. on the west coast today, there's new jersey governor chris christie. rudy giuliani ran against mitt romney in the 2008 republican presidential race. he is joining us here in studio. welcome. >> nice to see you. >> everybody has an opinion about who their candidate for

the nominee should be, as his running mate. but nobody knows but beth myer. so the speculation is speculation. >> it's fabulous. >> who is your guy, though? who would you -- >> well, i like them all. paul ryan, a recent interest in paul ryan, i think, is fabulous. paul would be a terrific candidate. i kind of prefer marco rubio. >> and what does mitt romney think of marco rubio? >> i don't know. i think he respects them all. i think he respects governor pawlenty. and senator portman. i think they would be excellent choices. the reason i sort of lean toward marco is i like the idea that he's very smart. i like the idea that he's a terrific debater and speaker. they all are that. but he adds the element of the outreach to the hispanic vote and outreach to young people. and we need help frankly in both of those areas. minorities, and help with young people. >> and how about women? >> yeah. i was going to say that. >> yeah.

condoleezza rice would be a very exciting choice. >> no, i mean needing help with women in terms of the polls. the recent polls we saw showed a real gender gap between the nominees. >> if people over 40 were voting, romney would win by 10%, men or women. >> or only white middle class men. >> then he'd win by over 80%. >> when he makes his choice, do you think he has to go bold but at the same time pick somebody who can energize the party and someone who, god forbid, is a heartbeat away from the presidency? >> first issue always in picking a vice president, don't create any questions about is the person ready to be president. because vice presidents don't win for the president. they lose for the president. and i think every person we mentioned -- >> marco rubio does that for you? >> marco near qualified than president obama was when president obama ran for president. held a much higher position in the state legislature than president obama ever held. much more executive

responsibility. so it would be very hard for the democrats to say marco rubio isn't qualified when the guy sitting in the white house had less qualifications. >> david brooks said what's relevant is who is the guy is. has an amazing personal story, built an empire, and on and on. here's karl rove, among other things, mr. romney should talk about his father's modest upbringing, his wife's illness and his wealth. americans know nothing about the first, little about the second, and much about the third. why don't americans at this time know more about mitt romney? >> i think mitt is a reserved guy. which is what he is. and i think that's all great advice for them to say that. mitt romney should run like mitt romney. >> why isn't he? >> and mitt romney is just fine. mitt romney has had a great success. if we all had the same success as mitt romney, we'd all be very happy. if he can have as much success as president as he did running bain capital, every time i see

the obama ads about bain capital, it makes me want to vote for romney. i think to myself, if he could create billions for other people, maybe he can create billions for america. >> but he should tell his personal story. >> he should, but he should do it in his way. he shouldn't be put in a situation where if he is uncomfortable talking about his personal life, don't talk about that. what do i care? what i care about is what kind of president are you going to make. his career, governor, head of the olympics, head of bain capital. this is a successful guy. maybe we should try that for a period of time as president. a successful guy before he became president. >> he certainly has been in the public eye a long time. but still there's still a gap that people think who is he. what do you want us to know about him, as someone who knows him? >> i want us to know how he would function as president. i agree with them it helps an awful lot if you have the touchy feeley part as president. but president obama isn't terribly different. president obama is a great speaker. so he gets that sort of feeling

of, well, he is a fabulous speaker. but he is not the most personable guy. not touchy feeley. he is not bill clinton or ronald reagan. neither of them are. >> they share a sense of aloofness? >> in a way, they are similar. although president obama, we sort of don't say that as much. both of them are very, very bright. they are going to have a terrific debate. two very intelligent men will be debating. and maybe that's what we should be looking at, who has the better ideas for america, who is going to get our economy going. not who's going to be as charming as charlie or gayle. >> thank you. great to have you here. >> good to see you. >> thank you. >> rudy giuliani, former mayor of new york. early this morning an american was evacuated from a base in antarctica. an australian jet landed on a runway of ice. a spokeswoman says that the scientist needs urgent surgery, but she is not saying what the medical problem is. flights to the antarctic are

murdering a british businessman. barry peterson is in beijing. good morning. >> reporter: well, it ended in one day. the communist party anxious to get this one over quickly. it's embarrassed because there are allegations of corruption that could reach into the party's highest ranks. she was led into court by what appeared to be guards. the trial has raised allegations of murder, money, and the use of political power that allegedly helped her family amass a fortune reported to be in the tens of millions of dollars. prosecutors say she personally poured poison into the mouth of her british business associate at a chinese hotel. but most observers think that the trial is more about the communist party going after her husband, who is party boss of one of china's biggest cities. he was on his way to his seat in the elite politburo but was stripped of his party leadership

jobs. many believe that he used his political influence to imprison business rivals, and that influence also helped his wife and family make millions in shady deals. john ming is a professor of political science at the people's university in beijing. >> translator: it's an example, he says, of a local high level official and his family acting recklessly and lawlessly with their power. >> reporter: bo and gu were chi china's glamour couple, but it may have been too much for china's new buttoned down leadership that wants nothing to hint at high level corruption. orville shell is a longtime china expert now visiting beijing. >> what the party hopes the verdict will say was there's been now changes in office. a family has committed crimes to boot. and the party has moved

resolutely to rectify that. >> reporter: no verdict yet, but under the chinese judicial system, there is no question what that verdict will be, guilty. the only real question is will she face prison time or the death sentence. charlie and gayle? >> thank you. time for headlines now from around the globe. the milwaukee sentinel reports that a gunman at a sikh temple in wisconsin took his own life after shooting six people to death. wade michael page was shot in the stomach by a police officer. police say page then shot himself in the head. we still do not know the motive for sunday's attack.

'tis tasty. i've been fortunate to win on golf's biggest stages. but when joint pain and stiffness from psoriatic arthritis hit, even the smallest things became difficult. i finally understood what serious joint pain is like. i talked to my rheumatologist and he prescribed enbrel. enbrel can help relieve pain, stiffness, and stop joint damage. because enbrel, etanercept, suppresses your immune system, it may lower your ability to fight infections. serious, sometimes fatal events including infections, tuberculosis, lymphoma, other cancers, and nervous system and blood disorders have occurred. before starting enbrel, your doctor should test you for tuberculosis and discuss whether you've been to a region where certain fungal infections are common.

don't start enbrel if you have an infection like the flu. tell your doctor if you're prone to infections, have cuts or sores, have had hepatitis b, have been treated for heart failure, or if, while on enbrel, you experience persistent fever, bruising, bleeding, or paleness.

handle 100,000 vehicles a day. it's now 139,000. and it's part of an overall national trend of infrastructure that's been overextended and underfunded. the collapse of the i-35 bridge in inside in five years ago last week was the most horrific example of what can happen. >> that bridge tragically cost the lives of 13 people and injured another 145. >> reporter: and if you ask barry what partner, author of "too big to fall," the next disaster is much closer than anyone wants to believe. >> since 1989, we've had nearly 600 bridge failures in this country. and while they're not widely publicized, the fact of the matter is that a large number of bridges in every state are really a danger to the traveling public. >> reporter: the most recent federal highway report in 2009 found that of the 600,000 bridges in the u.s., 72,000 were

structurally deficient, meaning in poor condition. 18,000 were fracture critical, meaning if one piece fails, the whole bridge does. nearly 8,000 brim fell into bo those categories on including the tappan zee. >> it's a dinosaur. and that's the issue. >> reporter: rockland county exec it difference scott vanderhoff says infrastructure is often taken a back seat during tough economic times. >> when you think about where money should be allocated, one would think that making sure structures like there are safe would be right at the top of the list. why do you think it hasn't been? >> we've debated it and studied it for over a decade. you have to bite the bullet and replace these aging infrastructures before you do have a serious problem. >> reporter: replacing this bridge will cost at least $5 billion. lepatner says fixing every one of these most at risk bridges in

the u.s. will cost up to $60 billion. he is not holding his breath. >> i'm hoping that we'll confront our politicians and make them address the perilous state of the nation's infrastructure once and for all. >> reporter: la paepatner says many cases the money is available. right now the political will is not. charlie and gayle. >> with us now, ed rendell, an author of a nation of wusses. so the question is, why haven't we done more about our infrastructure because we know it's so central to our future. >> it's interesting. one of the people on that piece said right, it gets put on the back burner. there's no immediacy to it. ron o ronald regan said fix it today because it will cost who are down the road and he was dead right. but the bill is coming due. our public safety is threatened,

our economic competitiveness, we'll be killed by the chinese. it's time that we do something and that means investing money and there's no political will to invest money in anything because we're a bunch of -- >> but there was a time when we had a $900 billion stimulus program in which there was too little money devoted to infrastructure in your words. why? >> there was $70 billion of that $900 billion devoted to infrastructure. barbara boxer, liberal, and a republican conservative wanted to triple the amount. but we wanted to put in tax cuts that the american people don't know they got. if we went in the streets and asked people did you get a tax cut from the obama stimulus plan, 95% would say no. but they did. and we didn't get any republican votes. and infrastructure puts people back to work. the irony of this all is this is a perfect time for a significant infrastructure program because

interest rates are at their lowest. states can borrow money very cheaply. number one. number two, it creates well paying jobs. and we need those jobs. >> isn't this one of the republican messages in this campaign? >> it should be, but it's not. the only one talking about infrastructure is president obama this his october jobs bill, he had another $50 billion for road, bridges and $25 billion for school construction. but that's not enough. >> i remember when the connecticut river bridge collapsed killing several people. and until something catastrophic happen, most people don't realize how serious this problem is. so what do you think we need to do to sound the alarm without scaring people? because people's eyes glaze over. they think i drive over the bridge, i'm fine. what can you say that really drives home the point and gets people to care? >> well, number one, point out the accidents. i-95 in philadelphia, they had to close it for three days because there was a crack in one

of the piers that supported the bridge. 180,000 trucks and cars go over that bridge every day. can you imagine if it collapsed and we came this close. so you've got to tell people it's public safety. but also economic competitiveness. the chamber says our underperforming roads and bridges cost us $1 trillion out of our gdp every year. every year. so there are so many reasons. but best of all, it creates well paying jobs that can't be outsourced. you can't fix a bridge in india. it has to be fixed by american workers right here. >> are these shovel ready projects? >> the president complained they weren't sheovel ready. the big process takes four to six months to do it. but you can suspend that bid process. when i was governor, we put our contractors and bureaucrats in

and i said select the rfp, file it, and we were number one in getting that stimulus money spent. so you can do it. the problem with us these days is we all say it can't be done. and we never do it that way. darn it, we can do it and it's time to start breaking some of the rules to get this country back on track. >> governor rendell, thank you. great to see you. if you ever wanted to know what a plane crash looks like from inside, this is as close as you will get. this morning we have the story behind this video shot inside a plane as it went down. stay with us.

>> of all the videos posted online, when one pops up claiming to show a plane crash from inside the cockpit, it skepticism. but this was all very real. looking at what's left of the vintage 1947 stinson, it's a wonder anyone survived. all four did and so did their footage. >> maybe we shouldn't have taken off that day. but at the time i think everything was good. >> tol gropp is the pilot's son. they and two friends took off from a tiny airport near stanley, idaho, back in june. clear skies, beautiful mountain terrain. they brought along cameras to cap purr the moment. everyone was smiling during takeoff. even though the plane seemed to be struggling for lift in the hot summer air. just four minutes into the flight, tol noticed they weren't getting higher than 70 feet

above the treetops. >> i still felt as i saw us coming closer to the trees that my dad would pull us out of it and that we'd be okay. >> his dad was an experienced pilot. he had flown in vietnam. why worry? but then the plane started to lose altitude. alex arhets was in the back seat looking out the side window. >> come on, hit the power, let's go. it never happened. >> this is what he saw. braced for the worst. >> as the plane started hitting the trees, i just told myself, just go limp and relax. so i did. and i had expected to do the life flashing before my eyes. instead, i had an instant calm feeling that things were going to be okay. >> i remember hitting the trees and it sounded like rapid fire. gunfire it sounded like. but then we were all upside down. >> it was deathly quiet much the cameras, though, kept rolling.

good morning. chocolate as a health food. we've been hearing a lot about the benefits of chocolate recently, but now the sweet treat may officially become a health food. one of the largest chocolate manufacturers has received approval from a european food safety authority to say that chocolate compounds are beneficial for blood circulation. it was based on evidence showing 200 milligramses of chocolate compounds called cocoa flavinols could improve circulation. powerful effects cannot be denied. there was a chart of foods measured in special antioxidant units. dark chocolate at 13,120, whereas blueberries had only 2400. but there is that catch. in moderation is everything. while we think of most health food as more is better, chocolate is loaded with foat ad

that may not be so easy. >> shields comes out of it and starts waling some more. >> when fighting claressa shields, her stamina hits you before her gloves ever do. just 17, she boxed her way past the semifinals and into the gold medal bout. now the team from flint, michigan, is one fight away from being the middleweight olympic champion. her teammate, marlen esparza lost in the semifinals but is still ensured a spot on the podium with bronze. this is the first time female fighters are allowed to box at the olympics. and shields could become america's inaugural title holder. >> it means a lot to me. it's not just about making history. i put in so much hard work. the point is to go to london and get a gold medal. >> it's highlighted what's become the women's games in london. women have scored more than double the amount of gold medals than men and female boxing is expected to hit a peak in popularity with the debut at the olympics.

for the better part of the 20th century, it was banned in most countries. for claressa, it's all about being disciplined. >> you got to be. or else it's not -- i train twice, three times a day. >> her dedication earned her a spot at the games. but it was her dad's dream that got her in the ring. claressa didn't meet him until she was nine years old. her father was in jail nearly her entire childhood. >> we couldn't really do nothing. there was nothing for him. his dream was to be a boxer. so when he said you know, boxing was his passion, i decided i would box. >> that started her career at the age of 11. she's only lost one match since then. she's beat out her male counterparts as the youngest person to make the u.s. olympic team in 40 years. claressa's father once told her boxing was a man's sport. >> beautiful. there you go. >> it was only a reason to push harder.

>> that was a big motivation for her to become a boxer. she figured that anything a man can do, i can do it too. >> chris mannix is a writer for sports illustrated and says she has the straight punch of sugar ray robinson and the difficult back story of other famed fighters. >> most boxers come from tough backgrounds, broken families. claressa shields is one of them. like most male boxers, she's harnessed that atmosphere and taken herself to the top. >> claressa isn't letting up. she spent her whole life being tough in and out of the ring. she's not about to pull any punches now. getting to fight for gold is everything claressa's father ever dreamed of, but he won't see the dream come true in person. gayle and charlie, because of his criminal background, he was unable to get a passport to come to london for the games. >> that answers my question. i wanted to hear from the father. >> i was wondering about that, too.

standpoint, the budget is killing them. >> always the optimist, administrator bolden is holding out hope that space exploration and budget cuts can coexist. >> there will never be a budget that will satisfy the insatiable appetite for funds that i have. >> you know, there is not a chance in the world that the insatiable appetite for money is going to be satisfied in today's budget climate. so nasa is going to have to live by the new rule, do more with less. charlie and gayle? >> so, chip, any plans to send human astronauts to mars? >> well, there's a lot of talk about it. in fact, president obama said he wants nasa to move in that direction. but when anybody talks about an actual date, they're talking about something beyond the year 2030. so it's going to be a long and expensive wait. charlie and gayle? >> all right, chip reid. that's a long way away. troops in a war zone do everything a certain way to stay out of trouble.

overcome these driving anxieties? >> yes. it's truly possible to live with those anxieties. not to say overcome them. they're not going to go away. not going to cure his ptsd. what we can do is address the issues that are underlying it to allow the symptoms to be manageable. >> for campbell, that means continually reminding himself he's no longer in danger. >> it's safe. we're in america. bombs aren't going to go off. yeah, it's giving me a little bit more freedom. i want to be able to take over driving if she's tired. i know i'll never about 100%. but i want to be better. >> lee woodruff joins us now. this is interesting, lee. i think of a traffic jam irritating for most of us, but to him means something totally different. he says he wants to do better. go ahead. >> i want to say completely

anxiety-ridden experience. we were in the car after his test and a driver blew through a stop sign, cut across three lanes of traffic and you could see him completely stiffen. and mark, his therapist had to say, it's okay. we're here. we're in the states. we're in america. >> how long does it take to get out of this sense of the memory that's deep inside? >> this is a pilot study. so this is the first time that they're recruiting drivers. think about being a male, used to driving, used to be the person your family who is the driver and to be able to see your life circumskriebd by this anxiety. you're not going to raise your hand and say i have this problem. we' removing the stigma is the first part. it will take reconditioning. one of the things, it's creating an app where you have a personal safe place. maybe your daughter, your wife saying it's okay, honey. we're here. >> something you can go to. >> when you start to feel it. >> he wants to do better. is he doing better sm. >> he is doing better.

undisputed truth. he joins us here in studio 57. >> how are you doing? >> did you ever think that was possible, broadway stage? >> well, no. once me and my wife watched a bronx film on stage. i said wow, i want to do that. i could do that. i've done this for ten years. i'm in europe. i said i would clean it up a little. not like in europe. i can do this, baby. >> but you tell your story, mike, warts and all. the good, the bad and the ugly of your life on stage. you sort of pour your heart. >> as much as i can in two hours. me and my wife said we'll do shows to change it with other shows to get the right atmosphere for it. >> what do you want people to know walking out of the theater? >> i don't know what they're going to know. that's their perception. that's why i'm doing the show. so everybody can have their own

say or perception of what they believe. but i just want to be who i am and give a performance and hope everybody enjoys my performance >> mike, when i was sitting there, you were talking about painful parts of your life. people were actually laughing. i wanted to say, it's not funny. even you said to the audience, this is not comedy. >> yeah. i have -- i don't know why people think that. but i guess it will -- i guess maybe some people experienced that same kind of a tragic moment in their life and they say, wow, just like in rehab, wow he's just like me, we had totally two different spans of life. this guy may be an executive and i'm a guy coming from -- but we still lived the same lifestyle and relate to each other. maybe they related to a certain tragic moment in my life. >> when you know there is mike tyson on stage on broadway, there clearly have been moments in your life in which you could never have imagined that and you thought my future is over.

>> yeah. you do think that. and then also there's vices that you possess and they get you out of that slump. vices like vanity, ego, stuff hike that. you say no way, i can do this. you know, even sometimes you can get a guy that is just on his last meal and all of a sudden he says no way, i'm such and such, i can do this. i'm a god even. it's so ridiculous that a person could believe that when the whole scope of humanity, we're absolutely nothing. just that a thought can make a person transcend that whole despair moment into something magnanimous, you know. >> played a longer role in your life, how would it have been different? >> still thinks i should be fighting. you're still young and healthy. you never took a beating. you should still be fighting. you could beat these guys. that's how he thinks.

this is how he thinks. forget that i'm doing well, paying bills, i have a family and everything. that's good too. but you still have fight in you. you stop fighting when you have no more fight left. that's the mentality. >> you think there's fight in you still? >> not for that kind of stuff. >> in order for a guy like myself, mike tyson, to be successful in a field like that, i can't be the average. i have to be a savage, an animal and being that person doesn't transcend to the free world. >> to be the world's best, you have to be savage and an animal in the ring? >> no. >> no? >> that's phony to being the world's best. even if you're a businessman and no physical alter indication, you still have to be a ferocious savage and getting the deals. you have to have the desire to first be the best. it's your only purpose in life,

to be the best. to transcend over the eons abdomen eons of oblivions. >> but you were the best. >> yeah. >> what made you so good? >> the desire to be the best. >> desire was as important as the speed of your punches? >> the speedo owe your body's only purpose is to carry your brain. the brain develops a desire to want to be the best. and you have also other exponents, you know. you just want to be the best. >> did it come from within you or did cuss give that to you? >> no. cuss explained it to me and he explained that you have to be -- have some kind of vanity about yourself. that's why he believed mohammed ali was the best fighter in the world. >> because he loved himself. >> it's like a megalomania ego. you have to be that guy. >> you talk a lot about cuss in the play.

he starts out, charlie, with a sense of humor saying we'll all leave with our ears intact. you immediately set the stage to know there's going to be funny stuff here. do you think that people are do you worry that people are afraid of you when you walk into a room? >> not -- not now because i'm not the same person. at that period in my life, you saw my muscles bulging out of my neck and i looked like a neanderthal back then. >> in your head, you said it was your head even then, it's what's in your head that matters now. >> absolutely. i'm not the same guy that i was back then in my head. >> what's the worst thing? of this life that you have lived, what was the worst moment for you? when did you think, my god? >> maybe when i lost my daughter. i had a 4-year-old daughter that had a tragedy. i was stuck and had to make

something happen. i had to make that -- i don't know. paradigm shift, happier, something have to work after that. >> how did you do it? >> i don't know. i just when i developed -- worked on my discipline. i had this discipline that sometimes gets me in trouble. cuss always explained, you love it. sometimes i stop -- i'm a ramadan, i'm not practicing ramadan because of my work. but normally, sometimes i'm so extreme, i'll do the ramadan without eating, period. just water. it's just my extreme personality. >> you're still very, very disciplined. still even today, no matter what you do in life, you're disciplined. i want to talk about the play for a second. it got the death threat. i was wondering what you heard when -- i was wondering what you thought when you heard that, someone on twitter said i'm going to go to the play, named your play specifically and said he was going to do an aurora. what did you think?

>> i never saw it. somebody mentioned it to me. i'm tired, i'm getting up at different hours of the day or night. when somebody told me, i thought nobody is going to hurt me. i'm a different kind of celebrity. i'm in the open, i'm accessible. anybody could kill me. i don't have bodyguards. my best friend but not my bodyguard. the only thing i'm worried about is the safety of the people in the audience. they're coming to be entertained. something drastic like that happened, i wouldn't want to have that. >> we're out of time. great to have you here. >> your show, undisputed truth is running on broadway. thank you for joining us. we'll be right back. ♪
