that you do want to do the right things and that you do want to help a city that lets face it is pragued by dog fighting. >> and hopefully he can eradicate it. here's michael vick. basically no excuses. let's listen. >> we used the excuse it was part of our culture and, you know, i don't think that's an excuse. now i understand that people care about their animals. they care about the health, you know, the welfare and protection of animals and now i do. >> all right. there it is. owning up to it right there. i've got to ask you this, anthony and see if you can weigh in as well. how are the fans in philly going to react if animal rights protesters come and disrupt egle football? >> well, i think they understand the bigness of this whole thing and how this situation transcends sports. obviously in the end it's a rabid football town and wants to see its eagles, but it's going to expect a lot out of michael vick, and it's going to be interesting because michael vick won't be out in the forefront. michael vick will be more behind the scenes. remember, he's only going to be there half a dozen

but thank god it took place in prague.in prague it was three cents. >> how do you like to have an action figure made up of yourself? >> how cool is that? i like it now. before when they first had it it looked like eddie murphy. or will smith in there. but that's close. it's all good. but it feels really cool. like my kids could play with me. they think it's like a, when i get mad they throw it down. >> what do they think of you? are you just dad or do they realize you're a major movie star? >> i'm just dad. you know, my kids, they ground me, man. this is like, for whatever, dude. you know -- >> how old are they? >> they're tired of my shtick. my daughter is 9, my son is 7. they're like dad, can you ever behave yourself? dad, don't -- >> your wife is doing all the heavy lifting? >> definitely. thank god for mommy. >> when you were younger, you were the younger of ten siblings, you grew up in the projects, and you really couldn't afford dolls and the rest of it. how did you improvise? >> we had imagination. we grew up real p

>>e were at lunch in prague when we were shooting g.i. joe.re for an hour and a half and they're not taking any pictures of any sights -- >> i'm not sure if that a -- that's a special talent or you're obelieves you with you. the guys have cameras pointed at you. you're a natural blonde and sienna miller had to dye her hair dark. >> yeah. we should have swapped heads. >> did you have fun making it? >> yeah. anyone who sees it will see that. >> there was secrecy around the film which seems weird for a g.i. joe movie. but they -- but you auditioned film. script with a different what was the script -- >> yeah. stephen sommers and a.j. are secretive with their script. >> not like quentin. >> i've heard that about you. >> well, i'm pro of my scripts so -- [ laughter ] >> wow. i wasn't expecting that. i'm not talking to you anymore. go away. >> he's kidding. come on. >> i'm not kidding. i am proud of my scripts.

so we had been in prague and many people and so on so on. but we came from soviet territory and a small village so young people keep out what and say do you like drink? of course we are soldiers we have a drink and so on. after a few who drinks we say what are you doing and why the country. and for me at that time it was not understandable chaim present so 10,000 generational, yes and psychology is very simple. if income czechoslovakia, you see, from america you can to but from the soviet union came to one czechoslovakia, you see, so all roof are red, all the streets are clean. we just came here what. so my basic philosophy is our living standard and they have much higher, so the logic is let's put our living standard at their level. but we are doing the opposite thing. we put them down. it's wrong. if in that time i have any opportunity, just what to do, maybe escapes, but i was very guilty. i feel myself as not a leader and i was very sorry about my friends who don't understand. it's a nice country. lots of drink, yes, why not and if i see

>> the thing that fascinates me, i am an unapologetic liberal and a political activist zero prague someone found my work useful and fair. i am fascinated by the fact that we americans share a nation with each other, even though we see the world in such different ways and we speak the same language, english, you know and we inhabit the same spaces but we have just enough mutual comprehension, that we can kind of be voyeuristic onto one another's worlds and i just find that endlessly fascinating. why did these people think differently than i do? what do we have in common, why some people in the liberal? why do some people in the conservative? icahn said in a library and close my eyes and think about that for hours and call it a good day. steve is america unique in that respect? >> i think that america is unique in that its ideological direction seems more up for grabs them in a lot of places. americas this country where we never had an american aristrocracy. what binds us together is the bonds of geography but is set of ideas. we are always fighting over the ideas. what this liberty mean? th

i was like, but there's only one black guy in prague. >> when you were a kid growing up, nine siblingsouldn't afford the g.i. joes that had arms that moved. we had the army and soldiers that you buy the big bag for 99 cents that they're stuck in one pose like this. or they're down like this or tossing the grenades. so my friend would take the g.i. joes and just kick my around. mine was like a little toy. >> no more today. >> look at this now! look at me now! >> as we are taking a look at the forecast, 871091, scattered showers and thunderstorms. a front makes its way through maryland later on this afternoon. morning showers and that's your latest weather. meredith? >> al, thank you very much. coming up, dara >>> we are back now at 8:37. now let's head down to d.c. and our big buddy, weatheillard sco. >> hi. >> hey, willard. >> to be or not to be. >> you, you! >> i'm rehearsing for a play. anyway, thank you. >> very good. >> you've sort of interrupted me, but i'll forgive you for that. >> i'm sorry, willard, i apologize. >> i had you in san antonio last week. sorry about that. let's che

interview bush had done earlier with a guy in massachusetts who asked if he knew the president of praguerge bush said general and did not know his name. so they had a bunch of questions, and every answer was general. they asked if i, the conservative, would be a fall guy and ask the question. i said, what is in it for me? they said that bush would submit to an interview with me on cnn. i said that i needed an assurance from the vice- president. so the vice president called me at my apartment at night and assured me that he thanked me for doing this stuff, which made me out as a patsy, and he would give me the interview, check back with him next week. i checked the week after that, the week after that, and he never would give me the interview, and he said he just did not want to do it. so i thought he was a big phoney before fletcher for doing that. >> another year of the gridiron. there was a song called "thank heaven for little girls." >> it was a clever song that everyone would have loved, because president clinton was having the monica lewinsky trouble, and everyone would start roarin
