You cant overstate how beloved he is on both sides of the aisle. Thoughts and prayers of this whole building are with him this morning. Seeing it and feeling it, mary bruce, thanks very much. Joined by senator mccains colleague, jeff flake, senator flake, thanks for joining us. I know you called him. Tell us what he said. I called him before we heard of the diagnosis and spoke to him for several minutes about what was going on on capitol hill and what he was missing about health care and what arizona needed in that regard and only at the end of the conversation i asked him how he was feeling today and he said, im feeling fine but i might have some chemotherapy in my future and thats how i learned of it so it was almost in passing about his diagnosis, so hes optimistic, obviously, hes john mccain. Thats what wed expect. That sure does sound like john mccain. You went to the senate as an intern back in 1987 and never known a Senate Without john mccain. Thats right. Its hard to imagine a Senate Without john mccain. He is obviously the elder statesman. He is a steadying force, one who stands for the institution and bipartisanship and i cannot overstate what an impact he has in the senate. Any sense at all of when he might be able to come back . We dont know. I understand thats discussing that with doctors, treatment regimen and his family obviously. We need him back here, he wants to be back here. Were going to be doing the National Defense authorization act, thats his bill. We always do that because he insists that we always do that and its a good thing. Senator flake, please pass along our best wishes when you speak with him. Will do. Thank you. Senator jeff flake. Get now well be joined by dr. David reardon, clinical director of neurooncology, one of the doctors that treated ted kennedy for the same type of cancer. Dr. Reardon, thanks for your time. I know your thoughts as everyone, the nation, the world is with john mccain right now and just tell us from what you know how serious his condition is. Well, good morning. Senator mccain has a diagnosis called glioblastoma which is the most common type of cancer that arises in the brain. 13,000 cases are diagnosed in the United States each year. It is a type of cancer that we do have effective treatments that can help patients for. But, unfortunately like many aggressive cancer, the durability of that benefit is something we have to continue to work on and try to improve. As we said, you are one of the doctors who treated senator ted kennedy and there have been a lot of comparisons between the two. But what is the same and what is different with senator mccains diagnosis . Well, this diagnosis has several similar features between the two cases and between all cases, but we know from Much Research thats been done that theres a lot of variability and difference between each individual case. Senator kennedys case was a very challenging one. These tumors depending on where they are in the brain and their size, their location relevant to important functional areas of the brain can be even more challenging to treat and, unfortunately, those were circumstances for senator kennedy. In senator mccain, what we know thus far is that the tumor appears to have been fairly small, fairly superficially located, not in a critical functional area of the brain, and able to undergo an effective surgical resection. And so what do you feel will be the potential next steps for senator mccain . The Gold Standard for treatment Going Forward is to allow patients a few weeks to recover after surgery and then they begin Radiation Therapy which typically lasts for about six weeks. During that time they take a daily dose of an oral chemotherapy medicine. As we know he is quite a fighter and he wants to get back there to washington, d. C. Dr. Reardon, thank you very much for your time this morning. Okay, robin, thanks. One of many major stories coming out. Six months to the day President Trump took office. The president saying the Gop Health Care effort isnt dead yet as the Senate Republicans are trying to revive their Health Care Bill after meeting with the president yesterday. He told them to stay in washington until it was done. Senate gop leader Mitch Mcconnell sticking by his decision to hold a vote to repeal it. It would cost 32 million to lose coverage over the next decade. Jared kushner set to meet behind closed doors on monday. Donald trump jr. And Paul Manafort have been invited to testify to the Senate Judiciary committee on wednesday. That russia investigation clearly weighing on President Trump. He took it on issuing a blunt warner to special counsel mueller in an explosive interview with the New York Times and cecilia vega joins us with all the fallout. Good morning, cecilia. Reporter george, good morning to you. Russia very much on the president s mind on the sixmonth mark. Virtually no one offlimits especially his own attorney general, the president using this interview to publicly bash Jeff Sessions. President trump lashing out in that bombshell interview telling the New York Times he never would have picked Jeff Sessions for attorney general if he knew sessions would recuse himself from the russia probe. Sessions should have never recused himself and if he would, if he was going to recuse himself, he should have told me before he took the job and i would have picked somebody else. Reporter its been more than four months since that announcement. Therefore, i have recused myself. Reporter but the president is still fuming. How do you take a job and then recuse yourself . If he would have recused himself before the job i would have said, thanks, jeff, but im not going to take you. Its extremely unfair and thats a mild word to the president. Reporter the president also fixating his ire on james comey, the former fbi director fired over the russia probe saying comeys recent capitol hill testimony was, quote, loaded up with lies and then this, he accused comey of leveraging an alleged dossier of incriminating information about the president in an attempt to keep his job. That dossier which President Trump previously called totally made up facts by sleazebag political operatives was compiled by a former british spy who supposedly used Anonymous Sources deep in the kremlin. The president telling the times in my opinion he shared it so that i would think he had it out there. The hits didnt end there. The president calling into question the integrity of the man spearheading the independent investigation into Russian Election meddling and moscows possible ties to the trump campaign. President trump saying special counsel Robert Muellers office is rife with conflicts of interest and he warned investigators would cross a red line if they looked into trump Family Finances not tied to russia. I think thats a violation, the president said. Look, this is about russia. The president also speaking publicly for the first time about that previously undisclosed conversation with Russias Vladimir Putin at the g20 summit saying they only spoke for about 15 minutes. Actually it was very interesting. We talked about adoption. Russian adoption which is interesting because that was a part of a conversation that don had. Reporter now one other headline from that interview. Youll remember last month the president s tweet saying he is under investigation for firing the fbi director, well, he now says he doesnt think hes under investigation, george, saying, quote, for what . I didnt do anything wrong. One of many headlines there. Cecilia, thanks very much. Lets talk with more with dan abrams and pierre thomas. Dan, i want to put up a tweet. A lot of reaction to it. Extraordinary interview. Preet bharara said in his tweet the president today effectively asked sessions for his resignation, will he resign or insist on being fired. Any other attorney general, the resignation would come in. I think it likely will in the days and weeks to come. Regardless of what you think about Jeff Sessions or james comey or robert mueller, this is stunning. If you care about Law Enforcement and the official positions that they hold, this feels like a troubling effort to undermine their independence. You have the president of the United States in one interview attacking directly or indirectly the attorney general, the assistant attorney general, the acting fbi director, the former fbi director and the special counsel. All in a matter of a few paragraphs. Thats a astonishing. He did it in such a casual way but, pierre, your reporting, all signs are the attorney general hunkering down. George, last night the Justice Department declined to comment and early indications are sessions and the deputy a. G. Will try to keep their heads down and keep working. Top officials were aware of everything the president said and it creates a tremendous amount of pressure. Unusual Work Environment to say the least. 9 toegs that the president of the United States is criticizing the nations top Law Enforcement officials in this manner is so unusual. Yes, theyre political appointees who serve at the president s pleasure but the Justice Department at least in terms of criminal investigations and also National Security investigations is supposed to have a degree of independence and autonomy. In that interview not one but two threats, warnings to the special counsel mueller, the first one about going into the president s finances, the second one saying he knows about a lot more conflicts of interest and may reveal them later. The special counsel declined to comment last night and so far, mueller has largely ignored complaints from President Trump. But let me tell you this, sources im talking to say the notion that the president is saying that something should not be investigated is likely to increase pressure on mueller to do just that. Look into it. And, dan abrams, the president then interviewed not ruling out firing mueller. Look, i think within 100 days the president is going to fire robert mueller. He cant fire him himself. That would be extraordinary. But everything is extraordinary. I mean the comments were talking about are extraordinary and while the president cant fire him himself, he can certainly order someone else to end up firing him from the Justice Department. These are not the comments that you make when you are expecting this to be a long and difficult investigation. This doesnt mean that the president committed a crime. Let me be clear. Its not to say that the president committed a crime and, therefore, hes going to fire robert mueller. I just think this comment hes making are making it clear hes had enough of this investigation. One more quick point, the person who would have to carry out the firing is the deputy a. G. Rod rosenstein who the president criticized. If he quits or gets fired, you go to the person below him. Saturday night massacre. Thanks very much. That state of emergency in california, more than three dozen wildfires raging across the west forcing evacuations just outside of Yosemite National park. Abcs Kenneth Moton is on the ground where theyre seeing the devastation firsthand at catheys valley. Reporter just a devastating scene here. Homes reduced to rubble. So far 30 structures destroyed. Property like this car burned out. The good news this morning, no lives lost. This morning that waging wildfire in Central California sparking more evacuations. More than 2200 firefighters are working around the clock in Mariposa County battling the detwiler fire. The 70 square mile wildfire scorching 48,000 acres and destroying 29 structures. It is showing no signs of slowing down, only 7 contained. The flames just 35 miles away from yosemite. The National Park in the middle of its busy tourist season. The explosive fuel growth made it difficult for firefighters across. Reporter on the ground so much damage already done. For residents an absolute nightmare. Be safe. Everybody is scared. Youd never think Something Like this would happen in your town. Reporter nearly 5,000 evacuated from their homes. We were not prepared for this whatsoever. Reporter Officials Say this fire will burn and continue to threaten this area until late august, even september. Robin. Oh, those scene, all right, kenneth, thanks so much. The other top stories.

Hes going to be here live this morning. In case you needed to be reminded, he has 23 gold medal, 28 total, but the reason why hes there with the sharks he is facing what may be his toughest challenge yet racing a great white for discovery channels shark week. We dont know how it happened. We know there were safety divers with him but we know its a safe outcome. Hes here. He survived. It all worked out for him. Have much more with him ahead.

As wildfires burn out west millions facing a heat wave, advisories, excessive heat warnings in effect for the midwest and northeast as temperatures soar into the 90s, even surpass 100 degrees. Ginger will have more on that later. Todays high stakes hearing for o. J. Simpson, in just a few hours he will face a nevada parole board and will decide today if he can walk free. Right now o. J. Is still behind bars at the lovelock prison in nevada. You see it there and matt gutman is on the scene. Good morning, matt. Reporter good morning. Its right through that barbed wire inside that little blue door there that o. J. Simpson, his family and victim will sit. He will be in his prison blues and you mention those high stakes. It is not a certainty that he will get paroled. Denial could mean another three years at this prison. What is a certainty is that millions will be watching. From the trial of the century the trial of the century. Courtroom battle of the century. Reporter to the parole hearing of the century. 150 million tuning in to see that verdict. Orenthal James Simpson not guilty of the crime of murder. Crowding around tv sets. Reporter now 22 years later todays parole hearing will be streamed live even watched on iphones with potentially millions watching whether o. J. Will get parole. I am just sorry that i had to send the state of nevada legal system through all of this. If a majority of the six parole commissioners grant his release inmate 1027820 as hes been known these last nine years could be released as early as october 1st. Among those set to address the parole board, the victim of that botched robbery in 2007, Bruce Fromong. It was the amount of time. Hes done his time. Reporter as for how the hall of famer will make a living if released its believed he could make significant money by signing his autograph on merchandise. As simpson receives an nfl pension of 25,000 a month, money thats protected by federal law. Including protection against that 33. 5 million judgment awarded to nicole brown and ron goldmans families in a civil suit against simpson in 1997. So he gets that 25,000 a month and the goldmans cant get a penny of it. Reporter now, the families can go after every other dime that simpson makes and heres how the parole board process is going to go. Theyll sit in there and simpson will get a chance to answer questions from the board. Also Bruce Fromong will have a chance to make a statement. He tells us he will speak on behalf of simpson then the board will break off, deliberate for probably about half an hour, make a ruling on the spot. Now, even if simpson is given parole he cant walk out of here at least until october 1st, george. Okay, well have live coverage at 1 00 eastern. Joined now by two members of ron goldmans family, his wife fred and sister kim. Thanks for coming in. Fred, you know, the consensus seems to be he is going to get ba role. I can only imagine how that makes you feel. Needless to say upset. Whats troubling to me is not only him but the whole system gives Second Chances to violent felons or for that matter anyone in jail. Ron doesnt get a second chance. And, kim, youve said these last several years with o. J. In prison have been a reprieve. That now may be over. Yeah, i mean we lived our life with him walking the streets and sharing the same roads we did and with him being locked up in lovelock its been a chance for us to kind of reclaim some control over our life and have some semblance of sanity. So im preparing myself for that to be changing come october. One of the reasons hes likely to get parole he was never convicted as we know of the murder even though that civil jury, 12 jurors found him liable. Now, that the parole board doesnt take that into account but you and your attorneys think they should have. Absolutely. I think his whole history of violence, ignoring the law, no respect for the law, no remorse for virtually anything hes ever done is an indication of who he is as a person, i dont think theres any reason to think that hes going to be a decent human being in society and i think hes proved otherwise. And, kim, you know, you all have chosen to be part of this as well for the last 20 years. You didnt choose it initially for sure and youve gotten some criticism for continuing to pursue the case. What is your response to all that . I hope that no one ever has to walk in our shoes but we know that millions of people on a daily basis on a yearly basis are impacted by trauma and crime and the civil system awarded us a judgment and it is our job to follow the system to follow the law and to pursue that judgment. Thats his punishment. Anybody else would have to do that or would want to do that and i dont see why we should be different. If we dont pursue it weve given him another free pass and i dont believe thats the truth. I dont think thats necessary. As we heard dan abrams say his pensions are protected but hes likely to earn other money. Do you see any chance of getting much of that back. I think well do the same thing we did for the previous 20 plus years and well go after everything thats around there as kim just said. Thats a form of punishment. A form of punishment but not in your view justice. Are you reconciled to the fact the likelihood that youre never going to see the justice you think you deserve, ron deserves . Probably so. Probably never see that. No. Never get the justice ron will ron never gets to spend his life doing what he wanted to do. Well never get to share his life. And the killer will walk free and do whatever he wants. Hes going to appear before that parole board today. Were going to hear from his victim in this other crime, as well. If you were before that board today, if you were in front of o. J. Simpson, what would you want to say to them and to him . While i understand our two cases are not linked, the murder case and what he did in las vegas, i think its interesting to point out that he stormed a hotel room with goons and guns to steal property. Thought a lot of people would do that but that was where he went. His propensity is to be violent and go above and beyond what the law dictates hes supposed to do. Our society 5 forred him his freedom in 95 when they acquitted him. I want them to be remembered thats his go to is violence and to not be respectful of the law that gave him his freedom. If o. J. Simpson were sitting in front of you like i am right now, what would you say . I dont want to have any conversation with him. I think hes beyond any conversation for a reasonable human being. Fred goldman, kim goldman, thank you very much. I know youll be watching today. Of course, as i said ill anchor our live coverage at 1 00 eastern. Robin. Thank you.

Madonna received a victory in court. A judge halting the sale of a number of her belongings up for auction including that now famous letter from one time boyfriend tupac. Amy, you have details. The decision came after the singer filed an Emergency Court order. Madonna says she was blindsided this month when she found out through the auction that that intimate memorabilia was no longer in her possession. This morning, madonna is singing a happy tune. A new york judge blocking an auction house from selling some of the Material Girls very personal items. Granding the pop star a temporary restaining order that forced the auction house to remove 22 of 128 madonna memorabilia items up for sale. Among them personal photos, previously worn underwear and a revealing breakup letter from a very famous ex, the late rap star tupac shakur. Both madonna and tupacs privacy is being invaded and at least she can speak up for herself. Reporter according to Court Documents she was shocked to learn through the media tupacs letter was being auctioned since i had no idea that the that cure letter was no longer in my possession. Another item up for sale was a hairbrush that still had some strands of the Material Girls hair in it. I understand that my dna could be extracted from a piece of my hair. It is outrageous and grossly offensive my dna could be auctioned for sale to the general public. She notes most of the madonna memorabilia put up for sale were provided by former friend darlene lutz who was a frequent overnight guest. The Material Girl now claiming lutz betrayed her trust. Attorneys for lutz firing back calling her claims meritless saying it is pretext for her personal vendetta against ms. Lutz. We feel darlene has a right to sell them. Turns out she doesnt. The judges ruling is not final and the auction house has vowed to fight. A spokesperson said they are confident the madonna memorabilia will be back up for sale again. The preauction estimate on the tupac letter alone was 400,000. Get out. That is why 400,000. Yes, thats what they say. Yes. A lot of money at stake. That is.

On todays big board shark week. It kicks off sunday on discovery. With an unusual man versus beast battle. Its an olympic size big board because we have olympic legend Michael Phelps fearing off against one of the most feared predator, a great white shark. Im just watching the video. I havent seen some of this stuff. They were massive. Like i remember this day rattling the cage, pushing all over the place. Why did you want to do this . This is something ive wanted to do my whole life. Its been on my bucket list for a long time and, you know, being able to see these animals up close and personal in their own environment was something that was just such a treat. Now, youre in that cage. It doesnt look like all that much protection, i have to say. I think i had i had a white like a whites nose come a little close to mine when i was in the cage. Her mouth kind of just clamped right down on one of the bars but i basically sat down there for about an hour and just watched sharks just swim right past me. How do you race a shark . It was challenging. I mean theyre very fast. Theyre very big. Its honestly like they can move any direction, any given time. And speeds of 25 miles an hour so it was challenging. I mean the biggest thing for me is open water. Being in open water so different than a Swimming Pool and here i was in that shot i was fine. I had a seven mill wet suit on. I was nice and warm. The race, the water as a little bit colder. It was like 53 degrees so thats about thats pretty cold. Like an ice pack so that just added another little twist to the equation. So youre shaking the shark had a home field advantage. Of course, of course, hes used to swimming in that kind of water. Im not. Im used to swimming in 80 degree. Did you have special equipment. We used a mono fin basically to help me swim like a shark. Move through the water like a shark. Oh, thats it. Yeah, so its i mean when we trained we use fins all the time and this is just a more efficient way to move through the water. Here we were in south africa and i was just trying to figure out the best way to swim through the water with it so i was definitely definitely an experience and something my wife and i wont forget. I can only imagine what nicole was thinking. She loved it. She got in the water. Well have much more with michael coming up in our next hour to talk about shark week. Come on back. Needles.

Do tell us thats right. 2yearold eden carlson can now walk and talk after she was found submerged in a pool. Doctors are using a series of innovative oxygen treatments to give eden a new lease on life. Eden carlson was just a typical toddler. Eden was spunky and she was wild. Reporter but in a billick of an eye this became her reality. The then nearly 2yearold bound to a hospital bed fighting for her life after drowning in the family pool in february of last year. I found her floating face down in the water. She had gone through a baby gate and pushed open a heavy door and gotten into the pool. When i found her i immediately pulled her out of the water and started cpr. Reporter eden submerged in 41 degree water for almost 15 minute, brought back to life after two hours without a heartbeat. Spending five weeks in the hospital. Its like any parents Worst Nightmare come true. Her prognosis was pretty grim. We were told to expect that she may be a vegetable her whole life. Reporter but the carlsons didnt give up hope turning to dr. Paul harchess experimental therapy. I had them administer the oxygen 45 minutes twice a day by little nasal oxygen tube. And i asked them to video her before and after so i could see how much of an effect this might be having and what we saw was an immediate improvement. Reporter then 78 days after her drowning incident she began treatment in this Hyperbaric Chamber. A Hyperbaric Chamber is an enclosed vessel that a person lies or sits in and in which we increase the oxygen and pressure. Reporter the fda says that therapy is not a universal treatment and its safety and effectiveness have not been proven for many conditions and warn patients are at risk for mild injuries such as sinus pain to more serious effects like paralysis but for little eden, the oxygen therapy appears to be working. In a short period of time shes relearned how to stand. Gaining the strength to walk. Im walking. Reporter and talk all over again. Watching her be in a vegetative state to sitting up again, crawling, and then pulling to stand and taking those very first shaky steps last summer, its been absolutely amazing. Reporter this morning eden is back to being a 3yearold but with one super unusual story. We know this is absolutely unprecedented and completely miraculous that she is the way she she is today. The doctor treating eden says the unbelievable regrowth of brain tissue occurred because they were able to intervene early before longterm tissue degeneration. What an encouraging story. We have a parenting alert now. Its about advertising that could have a negative impact on your kids. Uk decided to ban aids that use gender stereotypes. It came after a new report saying those could influence kids in harmful ways and paula faris has the story. No thank you. Captain awesomes day. Reporter the tv commercials kids watch during breakfast. And the organizing my living space. Reporter a cereal commercial showing a young girl carefully aranging her dolls and writing in her diary while her brother plays a superhero. Since the very first days this baby formula ad where a little girl becomes a ballerina while a little by becomes a scientist. Its showing this necessarily isnt working and perhaps might take a regulatory body to step in. Reporter now britains advertising regulator is cracking down on gender stereotypes in advertisements announcing that new rules will be developed to prohibit advertising that promotes gender stereotypes. Young children learn from everything they see. They learn from what we teach them, but they equally learn interest their experiences and what they see around them including whats on tv or whats advertised gives them clearly messages. Reporter the new standards will address the sexual objectification of women in adult stereotypes. This could have a Ripple Effect throughout the ad industry while the regulation only applies to the uk, it is very much a Global Industry and these brands are talking to consumers in Different Countries and advertising creatives are attuned to what their peers are doing in other countries. Reporter while they wont begin until later this year its an important step in showing kids they can be anything they want to be. At this age their sense of who they are and who girls are and boys are is just being molded so to speak and this is their foundation that they take forward. Reporter for Good Morning America, paula faris, abc news, new york. They watch everything we do and say. Thanks to paula for that. Outside to ginger. Lets for now thats the big picture, lets get a check closer to home. Reporter somehow those sharks seem so friendly.

It stays oppressive tomorrow, excessive heat warning in effect today and tomorrow. Tomorrows high, 93. Saturday and sunday, afternoon showers arena thunderstorms. Rac. Michael phelps, the most decorated swimmer in history going up against a great white shark. This is Michael Phelps, ladies and gentlemen here in times square. Come on now. 23 time olympic Gold Medalist back with us to help us kick off shark week. You were talking like ginger, you love shark week. Been a long time fan of that and as you were talking earlier, you had to do a dive to get prepared to race and we got a little bit of that action for folks to see right now. That was a shark. Saw that one. Could you feel it . When we were in the cage like as soon as i first got in i felt both sides of the cage kind of moving back and forth and i was like, oh, my gosh, these are were really getting bit. The cage is shaking. I didnt they didnt look that big underwater so i guess now seeing the video they were pretty massive sharks and i had one like i said come literally up to my nose and it was crazy. Ive been diving with sharks very recently actually and i think everybody here is asking, i dont get it. What do you do . Do you elbow and say, hey, lets go. Three, two, one, lets start. How does one race a shark. Were not in the water at the same exact time. Thats the thing we want everybody to know. I was safe which is number one. I had, you know, 12 to 14 divers underneath me when we were doing the race and, you know, when you have an animal this size you want to be able to see how fast they swim and its tough to go into their territory and be able to switch as fast as they do, right . So trying to get a white for, example, to swim up to 25 miles an hour in a Straight Line can be tough so thats what we tried to do and, you know, youll see it in the video. Theyre awesome and incredible watching these things in the water. I actually almost stuck my hand out at one point. What . Well, there was a abcs gopro fell off his camera and i was line, oh, its close enough and i go and i was like, no, im not putting my hand out there. But you were talking earlier too about how cold the water was and the visibility wasnt the best too. As you can see in the video, we could see maybe about a meter in front of us and that was it so it was tough. But they came up close and personal with you and they got in your face and were shaking the cage and then luckily we didnt see any when i was diving out of the cage. Luckily. It is not just the race but you do shark school with Michael Phelps, another part of shark week. Tell us about that. I think honestly teaching people about what to do when youre in the water with sharks. You know, trying to save a life or save a limb. You know, for me it was an experience ill never forget. Something i always wanted to do. Be on the bottom of the ocean floor and surrounded by a number of different species of sharks was one of the coolist things ive probably ever done. Basically coming facetoface with a hammerhead was incredible. Just i mean you guys have to wait and see. Its basically the dos and donts of what to do when youre in the ocean. Like a film like magical, right . Doesnt it feel that way. Watching a hammerhead come over top of my body, its majestic watching how they are underwater and you know i look forward to having more opportunities to get in the water and learning more about sharks, especially. I mean i think ive dove with about seven or eight of the over 500 different species we have. Youre so enthralled with one didnt you name one after your son boomer. So, when we were in the bahamas, they caught a little tiger shark and on the show we tagged it and doing research seeing where they swam and i was like, what do we name him. I dont know, you pick. I said well name him boomer so boomer has a tiger shark going around in the ocean somewhere. So much so you even want to get a shark tattoo. I do, yeah. I do. You do . I have two tattoos now and i want ive always wanted another one and i want something with a great white and something with a hammer whether theyre connected in the same tattoo, i dont know but after this experience. This is something ive always wanted to do my entire life so i might as well do Something Like that. I know we have temporary tattoos. Yes, so you can get a little practice and check it out. If you want to do neck or thank you. See if it works. Hammer, whites. Tigers, the whole nine. This is awesome. Thank you, guys. Will we see you compete again. No, im done. You know, its ah. Look at that. Sorry. You love michaele. I think thats its just something that, you know, its time to move on. You know ive had an absolutely incredible career and something that has been an honor to be a part of and represent my country is the one thing ill miss the most. You have done it with such honor and the work youre doing with your foundation and helping is tremendous. So, michael, thank you very much. Shark week kicks off sunday on the discovery channel.

I suffer a little bit from ocd and so, yeah, theres nothing cute about it. You dont like dirty feet. Yeah, i dont like dating and people in your i would rather sleep with my makeup on than to not wash my feet before i go to bed . That says a lot, you guys. I have to wash my feet, yeah, dirty feet really hmm. You have two kids and mentioned your two rescue dogs. How do we keep the house clean with feet and dirt. I clean a lot. Its actually i dont know. Like the dogs are actually not that bad. Theyre really well trained. They dont have accidents and theyre a little older now but there was definitely a period where they were like around 2 when i got them and i had small children and i was losing my mind because between the dog chewing the furniture and i was like, what am i doing . Am i insane . Am i trying to send myself into an insane asylum. I used to wash my dogs paws. I might have a little bonding over this. Lets talk atomic blonde. I hear this is a real passion project for you. Yeah, yeah. I was actively looking for something that could, you know, live in the genre for a female for a female protagonist, something that was empowering where, you know, women are incredibly capable and i wanted to do an action genre that showcased that so, we took about five years developing this and we were verys very, very happy to send the baby out into the world. It was worth the wait. The soundtrack, everything. Thank you. [ applause ] should we take a look. Yeah. Lets take a look. You remember mr. Bremovich. Of course, you do. Well, hes very curious what youre doing here in berlin. What are you doing . [ applause ] well, that was wild. The scenes are so intense. Did you go to stunt school . Did you ever go to stunt school. I had to work my booty off, yes, definitely. If you make a movie like this you have to put in the work. I didnt want anybody to be able to say, a woman cant do that. A woman can do all of this because were amazing so s [applause] any injuries. I cracked two teeth and in the back of my jaw. Not i didnt get hit or anything cool like that. I clenched down on my jaw too hard so again not a cool story. And i was pretty bruised up. My kids were there while we were making the film. My youngest was just a little baby and there were days where picking her up felt like picking up a mountain. It was i was pretty bruised. My ribs were bruised. But, you know, overall we had an incredible time making this film and nothing horrible went wrong which, you know, says a lot when you make a movie like this because the action is incredible in this film and we definitely pushed the envelope with all of that and nobody got hurt is a real were lucky for that. Its resonating with a lot of people, the strong model that you are displaying and it seems like the public is really in this place, wonder woman was well received. And as you said theres no reason why cannot see a woman in this kind of role. Yeah, i mean, i feel that theres this misconception sometimes when we talk about women and the genre that we, you know, that they want to be guys or they want to fight like guys and thats not really the point. The point is jut we utilize who we are in that genre really well and for some reason we tend to not do it and people are really responding to this film on that level. Yes, they are. The fact that, yeah, she uses her high heel shoe and she uses a pot in the fridge and what she has, you know what i mean and i think its funny and its real. You use your gifts as well. Thank you for your philanthropic work you do in south africa and all that youre doing to make a difference around the world. Thank you. [ applause ] thank you for coming in.
