here at the table, madea and ali. ali, i found that quote amazing, and i should say there's now a walk back of that, which is a full statement released by rand paul to be clear, my comments last night left the mistaken impression my statement on drones have changed. let it be clear it's not. they may only be considered in extraordinary lethal situations where there's an ongoing threat. what do you make of the 180, now 360? >> well, yeah, the knocking off a liquor store is, i guess, an extraordinary situation. i'm sure the founding fathers are all glad we're safe in our hot tubs now. it's the sort of opportunism you can expect on capitol hill. when farea was speaking to the subcommittee in the senate, it's the same thing. it's a really self referential vapid thing. to watch lindsey graham lecture farea al-muslimi what's going on in yemen and to kind of badger him whether there's a conflict there and what's possible in terms of picking stuff up, like, you know, even if i was a u.s. senator, i'd like to think i'd differ

i don't know if i could survive madea. but it would be fun to do some kind of comedy. i as did one class in a while, what a stretch. i go to class is and get to play -- and nobody would ever think that i would be cast or write for that. butt to explore that stuff, some kind of comedy or satire would be great. thes: i want to go back to comment you made a moment ago about this project and how you had a fight for it. am always amazed at the audience might be as well. the assumption is that what you get to a certain place in your career, you aren't having to knock people around and auditioned for parts. before this project comes along, you met with the director input your bid in to try to work with them on something. you still have to go fight for the park and we think, you have to do all that? there is no hope for me if she has to fight that hard for a part. >> in the fighting never stops and when i stop fighting, i die. it is not a negative, it is a positive. there is that little part of me. proving someone wronged when they have an image of me or something. thinkigure

maybe around $15, $16 million, because we kind of joked last week that you put tyler perry in the madea character, his numbers are usually a lot higher, and this one doesn't have that, it is more of a straightforward drama, and the numbers were pretty extraordinary. - and because this is the 9th time that mr. perry has come in above $20 million, he now joins the ranks of steven spielberg- - and robert zemeckis. two of my favorite directors of all time coupled with one of my least favorite directors of all time. - you go tyler. - no. go away. - meanwhile, lionsgate stock, up almost 70% for the past year. not too shabby. it's trading just off its highs. moving on to what is coming up this weekend, "evil dead." [erik laughs - it is interesting that the marketing for this movie is saying that it is the most terrifying experience you are ever going to have in the theater, which is probably true if you have never seen a movie in a theater before. i don't think the movie is that great. it is a remake of the 1981 original by sam raimi. i think it is going to do very well this weekend though, i
