muhammad ali used to say he could turn out the light and jump into bed before the darkness could catch, he was racing the light, that was the joke, and winning, and had to win or the darkness would catch him. >> fast, fast. fast. last night cut the light off in my bedroom, hit the switch, was in the bed before the room was dark. fast. fast. >> incredible. and the darkness could not catch him because he is muhammad ali. >>> this is when gay activists walked into city hall, announced they were taxpayers, gay or not, were there to claim the right to marry. they claimed that right, even if they had to conduct the marriage themselves and throw their own after party. this is 1971. >> you're welcome to attend if you like, free coffee, cake. you're all welcome to attend if you want. did you get an invitation? >> i don't speak english. >> well, we're having a wedding reception for gay people. >> gay people? >> gay people. 265, around the corner there, open to the public. room 265. you're all invited to come. wedding reception for gay people, room 265. >> the leader of this marriage protest, 197

he says it is like, it reminded him of muhammad ali. he goes with his writers, his friends, and all of that. he starts with nothing. he is on stage for a month the audience are old jews, the weber is around there. they do not even know who is on. and he says at the end of that month, after he has worked night after night after night trying material, getting it exactly right, he can play madison square garden and never miss a night. tavis: he also said that these days, it is harder and harder to perfect your craft, because even in florida, the old jews know how to work iphones. a 85-year-old two-person -- jew has put it on line. >> that is really tough. you just have to ask the audience to give you a break. it is a new world out there. i just came off of a tour with robin williams, and we were playing thousand seat theaters everywhere. robin is so popular. the two of us, i got to participate in that. i was asking him about his wife and all of that, and he would ask me something, and after my first laugh, all i could say was all of the yo

rhetoric team after the central rebel command stepped in and pressured them syrian journalist allen muhammad ali's radical factions will drag the country into chaos if the west succeeds in helping a regime change in a syria. nato countries would like us to believe that as a goal as this opening of the syrian people we employ and actually know as it goes it will be this horrible chapter and crisis and this is something that we need to understand and the syrian people already understand who is working on the ground or the no command in the what they can control of their actions which is a very alarming sign but there's a really important thing here more because of the opposition coalition and the things of the order and demographics here you know he comes on here and he lies to the public just saying to their faces and say yes this is not like it's nothing more than just putting one hundred before going to his. post if you're when you go to the internet them and here's what the accuse them of supporting this is a person who supposedly he's a man i'm going to plan on you to see if you know people hav

it's like following muhammad ali. what does it mean in reality?teve jobs is a guy who had a chip on his shoulder, he wanted to win every single day, every single skirmish. i get the feeling that tim cook is okay lose ago skirmish, as long as they win the long-term battle. people want the stock to be the muhammad ali of the business world, michael jordan of the business world. if you taught michael jordan how to play foozball. he wouldn't go home. he'd stay until he beat you. and i think people want that from the most valuable company in the world. and we're not getting it from him. and he's too cool will losing the small skirmishes. >> i think the company had some issues, the michael jordan of the tech world for a very long and the stock had been dominant and now it has all of this competition, that's what the free market is about, samsung, and the other companies now infringing on their territory and they haven't found a way to compete quite yet. charles: or tim cook hasn't made us confident they found a way to compete. stuart: the stock has been

greatest love of all" was the song that i had commissioned about eight years earlier for the life of muhammad ali known it was theirs. so i went on a predecessor of yours -- merv griffin had a national tv show. >> jimmy: sure. love merv griffin. >> and i said "here for the next generation is someone who combines the lyrics and beauty of lena horne with the fiery gospel of aretha franklin or dionne warwick. and ladies and gentlemen, whitney." >> jimmy: wow.

[ laughter ] very famous. >> well, next year. >> jimmy: all right, thanks. so each year, we come up with a cutting edge performance of great performers. at that time, justin was still a part of 'n sync. he was at a front table -- and who was performing but busta rhymes, p

hard to quantify the impact, but my point of view, yeah, he's sort of like larry holmes following muhammad alit by the same tokennen, gil, when tim cook speaks, i don't get the feeling he wants to win every skirmish. he wants to lose the war, but if they lose a little battle, i don't get that feeling whereas steve jobs wanted to win every single skirmish, and i think tim cook has lost the confidence of wall street. >> well, i can't comment on that. you'll have to comment on that. i think that he's definitely has a different style of management than steve does. steve, as i know all too well, was a very intense guy. and he took no prisoners. i think tim cook is more of a people person. i think there's a lot of things about that that are good. i think the employees of apple, frankly, like it better. but what he needs to show is that he's going to -- when an issue comes up or when there's lack of performance, he's got to demonstrate leadership s. and so far people are still wondering whether that's happening or not. charles: there have been a couple of hiccups. the iphone launch, the maps, you had

and the darkness could not catch him because he is muhammad ali. he is the greatest.tage that is from 1971. from the day that gay activists in new york city walked into city hall, they announced that they were taxpayers like everybody else, and as taxpayers, gay or not, they were there to claim the right to marry. they claimed that right, even if they had to conduct the marriage themselves and throw their own after party. this was 1971. >> you're welcome to attend if you like, free coffee, cake. you're all welcome to attend if you like. did you get an invitation? >> i don't speak english. >> well, we're having a wedding reception for gay people. >> gay people? >> gay people. 265, around the corner there, open to the public. room 265. you're all invited to come. wedding reception for gay people, room 265. >> the leader of this marriage protest, 1971, the man passing out invitations, a man named arthur evans. mr. evans died a couple of years ago, and so he did not live to see the arguments this week, his arguments, made before our nation's highest court. awhile back on

from muhammad ali to mike tyson to hugo chavez, don king joins me to talk about his surprising connections. this is "piers morgan tonight." >> good evening. you're looking live at the senate floor where an extraordinary filibuster has been going now for nine hours. also much more, including our exclusive investigation of gun trafficking and my sit-down with don king, perhaps the least man you would expect to have a personal connection to hugo chavez. we begin with breaking news on that deadly lion attack in florida. a female intern was killed in a lion's cage at the project survival cat haven. the lion was shot and killed. he had been raised at the sanctuary from the age of 8 w k weeks. there's no word yet on what may have led to the attack. >> our thoughts and prayers go out to our friend and family and to her family at this time and this trying time. >> i want to bring in a man who knows more about big cats than just about everybody else. jack hanna. first, a woman who worked with the sanctuary where the lion in today's deadly attack lived. she's even been in the cage with the lion. she

one of them is muhammad ali, another one is billie jean king who is as responsible as anybody for title ix and women's equality in sports and in creating more parity for women in college and in high schools to have more active in sports, and also she, early on in her career, also a few slivers of know she had an abortion which at the time wa of different controversial thing to say. she said in an article. she is also one of the first athletes to come out of the closet as a gay person, as a lesbian. so billie jean king was in my book, but the person i want to talk about it jackie robinson. jackie robinson was the first african-american to play professional major league baseball. he broke the color line in 1947. he became a major celebrity. he used his celebrity, and he was a great baseball player. he used his celebrity to advocate for civil rights. he became a fundraiser for the naacp. he wasn't lots of picket lines. he wrote a column in the "new york post" and then some other newspapers where he was always voicing his views about civil rights. and use quite an outspoken athlete. out a l
