pants on. >> the way you react to a bully is to fight back. you don't want to empower a bully. >> i don't think he's going to attack, but he's going to counterpunch. does trump go after them? if trump goes after them they'll all be prepared through humor or strength to hit back. i think all of them think it's dangerous to pick a fight on this stage with donald trump. >> thank you john. >> thank you charlie. in our next hour rand paul will talk about his goals for tonight's debate and whether he believes trump's message is costing him support. that's ahead on "cbs this morning." police are trying to figure out the moetstive of a man who attacked moviegoers in tennessee. it was 41 minutes of utter chaos. a s.w.a.t. team killed the attacker after a confrontation with police. three people in the theater were hurt. >> vicente montano was armed

switch. >> reporter: with the rocky fire down but not out, it's still a waiting game for the thousands forced to evacuate and wondering when they can go home. the disaponting answer came late wednesday. >> at this point the evacuation situation stays in effect. >> they're trying to keep us safe, but i want to go home. >> reporter: we expect to find out later this morning whether they'll reopen highway 20. that's the main road through the fire zone. that's a pretty good undication that the folks who have been out of their homes for nearly a week will be going back. the circus spectators in new hampshire were told to stay put before a huge storm blew the tent down. the collapse killed two people and injured dozens. they told the crowd to stay in their seats. moments later just before the tent fell they told everyone to go to their cars for shelter. bill cosby is under orders

from cleveland. good morning. >> good morning charlie. thanks for having me. >> tell us what you hope to achieve and what might come out of this debate. >> well, you know i like to mix it up. so my staff is all saying oh, no, we need to be cautious and i'm like i like to mix it up. i plan on getting into it with the other candidates. >> all right. mix it up. i'm definitely watching tonight, senator paul, when you say you want to mix it up. anybody in particular you want to mix it up with? >> why not mix it up on the ideas and issues of the day. it doesn't mean it has to be impolite or rude. we need to mix it up because this campaign and who becomes president ought to be about ideas and who can best lead the country. i don't think we should succumb to, well you can say anything and all of a sudden we're in some reality tv show. there needs to be a substantive debate. >> it sounds like you're referring to donald trump when you say we're in some reality tv

show. you've attributed his rise in the poll to a temporary loss of sanity. what do you think this debate could clarify? >> i think there are a lot of issues. i think we really have to determine what are the best ways to counteract our foes around the world. do we need to be involved in every civil war, and has it made us more safe? i think frankly hillary's excursion and obama's excursion into libya made us less safe and made isis strongerment i think arming the allies of ice sis made isis stronger. there needs to be a debate about that because so many -- in fact many on both sides think it's always a good idea to send arms to everyone. we're now talking about with the iran agreement, to pacify saudi arabia, we need to send them more arms, also. i think there needs to be a voice of reason and there needs to be somebody promoting a rational foreign policy and i think sometimes both sides are a

little bit overcrazed about intervention. >> senator, we want your response to the indictment announced nephew saying your nephew-in-law is accused of paying off a state senator in iowa to curry favor for your father's presidential campaign. >> for about four years there have been these campaign finance regulatory rules that they've been going after. it's a little suspicious to me that it happens to take four years and they decide to do something -- president obama's administration decides to do something on the eve of the debate. i think that's at least suspiciously timed. campaign finance rules are very complicated. there will be lawyers and accountants involved in this and they'll get it sorted out over time i'm sure. >> let me go back to norah's question about donald trump. what is it -- what do you make of his rise in the polls? is it in your judgment more rhetoric than it is policy and specific public positions?

>> yes. and i think what he's tapped into, though is that 490%90% of people are unhappy with washington. i never ran for office. i was a physician and never ran for politics. i was able to beat an establishment politician because i ran against the machine. i still intend to do so because 90% of people are unhappy. i think we need term limits. i'd wash the whole place out. the whole place needs to be clean swept and start all over again. i've met almost every leader on the stage in washington. there's no monopoly of knowledge up there. wu need new people. one of the things i'd propose is we need term limits send them all home. >> why is donald trump tapped into this rather than you according to the polls? >> he had a little bit of help. y'all covered him with about a billion dollars of news media. it's all your fault, charlie. >> oh i see.

>> no. the thing is for example, i've been talking about a flat tax where we eliminate the entire tax code to try to get american jobs to come home and american companies to come home. but i have really had a little trouble getting traction with getting the message out, and i don't blame anyone. the news is what the news is. but you have to admit that there's been an extraordinary amount of attention paid to one person, and i think anybody's numbers would rise with that amount of attention. so our job is to break through. our job tonight is the step up defend and maybe demolish some other bad ideas that are out there or point out that maybe there are some empty suits without ideas. >> who would that be? >> there's 15 to choose from. so we'll see tonight who that is. but i think it is good to draw distinctions. i'm a big believer -- i don't believe in hurling insults, but i'm a big believer in mixing it up. we ought to know the differences

between the candidates and let's see how much substance we have come forward. >> senator rand paul, good luck tonight. we'll be watching. nice to see you. >> thank you. ahead, your brain on junk food. it tastes good. what's it doing to you. dr. tara narula is >> announcer: this morning's "eye opener at 8" is sponsored by subway restaurants. subway, eat fresh.

logical, something they could see from the mris. >> when they looked at the mris they found changes in the brain circuitry. what they saw was the areas that controlled motivation pleasure were amplified. the parts of the brain that control goals, your long-term goals and planning were sort of decreased or diminished. so there was an embrace there in the signaling in the brain. >> so what's the harm? >> what's the harm? well, the big thing is we talk about will power and self-control as if it's something very simple just stop eating. this tells us there's a lot more biologically there that may be playing into it and it's not just an on/off switch but multiple neural pathways at work. any change in the pathway can offset your ability to have self-control. >> how do you outsmart mother nature and this physiological trigger? >> there's a couple things you

can do. remove the temptation. if you're in an office where you get stressed don't keep the doughnuts around. use other coping methods like exercise, social support, metation. the men who perceived they had higher levels of stress in that situation, had more changes in the brain circuitry. the idea would be if you could even change how you're perceiving the stress you may be able to change your ability to control it. those would be some of the techniques. >> my problem is not just stress it's fatigue -- a whole list of things i can blame on bad eating. they need more studies on it. >> the interesting thing, too, why does this happen? one of the theories it may be evolutionary added to adaptive to focus on the short-term benefit. if you're stressed in the wild, you're not going to think about what's happening a year from now, but how do i get myself back to feeling balanced. >> the interesting thing is how to figure out what's going on. >> exactly. it's not completely out of our control, but not completely in

here. and the government says that once construction is complete, its capacity will be even greater. construction was supposed to take three years. but workers labored day and night, dredging and digging and finished in 12 months. the president promises the project will bring much-needed jobs and revenue to an economy battered by years of political unrest. here's how. previously ships could only traverse the canal one direction at a time. the average trip took 18 hours. its expansion introduces two-way traffic and cuts journey times down by almost half. and in shipping, time is money. when it opened in 1869 suez was a revolutionary creation a shortcut between east and west. ships traveling between europe and asia no longer had to sail all the way around africa. ♪ >> the suez canal, life line of europe, in a dramatic sequence of events became a cause of war. >> reporter: over the years,

night. >> i think the oddest one was the jim cramer thing. that was just bizarre. >> i understand you want to make finance entertaining, but it's not a [ bleep ] game. >> i felt like his interviews did not have the tone of like i'm attacking you. it was often -- even with people that i wanted him to attack -- >> listen to me. here's all i want from you today. >> i kind of want him to go into the interview with bill o'reilly and, like, kick him in the [ bleep ]. >> i have one simple goal. >> yes. >> i want you to admit that there is such a thing as white privilege. that's all i want from you. >> i knew you were going to say that. >> that's all i want. that story. >> it was more about, like i'm trying to understand. >> this is our first show. since the tragedy in new york city. >> 9/11 was such a, you know world-changing event. >> they said to get back to work. and, uh there were no jobs available for a man in the fetal position under his desk crying.

>> i think what september 11th did on an emotional level is what happens at any time when the comedian lets the wall down. >> i wanted to tell you why i grieve. but why i don't despair. >> it's these kinds of moments that we take a step back and we realize he's really done a public service. >> we're closing early. no! no! i'm done. i'm heading out. >> we're going to miss everything about jon. his humanity his hilarity his incisiveness. >> adios, mother [ bleep ]! whoo! boom! >> a lot of people out there oh huh, but i'm telling you, it's -- it's really -- it's good to leave at the top of your game. >> the world is demonstrably worse than when i started! have i caused this?

>> the comfort in knowing that jon is behind the desk on "the daily show" is happening in the same way that carson or letterman or any of these guys and when they leave -- >> has my soul been for naught? >> it's kind of a reminder of change life goes on, and i'm closer to death. >> you know, he created something original. i think which is -- and he executed on it very well. and in some ways i look at him somewhat of an ombudsman which is a check on excesses and power and all of those things. and he did it with humor. >> and style of not attacking is so rare to be gentle and gracious in an interview. >> always with authenticity as well. an honest voice. often comedic but often poignant and powerful. >> he certainly will be missed. >> congratulations on a great run, jon stewart. coming up jen lancaster's

♪ after a corporate layoff in 2001, jen lancaster started a blog. her honesty and quick wit earned her a massive following.

now 14 years later, lancaster is a "new york times" best-selling author of -- count them -- eight memoirs and four novels. fans have bought more than 1 million books. her new novel, "the best of enemies," deals with female friendships and rivalries. jen lancaster, good morning. >> good morning. >> so tell us about this book. >> this is a fun book. it's about two women who absolutely despise each other but keep getting put together in each other's lives. >> and why are they the best of enemies? >> they had been friends 20 years ago. and a series of events happened. they started to despise each other. and because of a mutual best friend, they can't get away from each other. >> i love that you said some of the inspiration was social media. people who have these pinterest-perfect lives became the source for you to write about. what do you see happening in culture that you sort of mirror in the books? >> i see these women, especially women in their 30s, who are working so hard to cultivate these pinterest-perfect lives

that i think they're actually not living their lives. this actually happened to me a few years ago. i was worked on this book. i was trying to live my life by martha stewart's -- by her dictates for a year. and i was working so hard to make my life look perfect that things were starting to fall through the cracks. and i think when you try to art direct your life you're not actually living. so i began to think about that. and i thought, what if i had a character who was trying to make her life seem to perfect that she was just using that to cover up what wasn't? and i took that character and i went with it. and i thought, who would be the polar opposite of that? who would be the polar opposite of a mommy blogger who was trying to display everything? and i thought, a foreign war correspondent, so that is her nemesis. >> who are you writing for? >> i write -- well i write for myself. i write to crack myself up. the fact that anybody else likes it is just a bonus. >> yeah.

>> i think there's something in your story, just the notion that you went from being laid off to a whole new career that so many people can really connect with. what did you learn in that journey, and what's your advice for other people who think i would love to write a book. i just don't know how. >> draw from your own experience. when i started writing, i didn't set out to be a writer. i was just an angry person. i had gone from being -- that's what it was. i was an executive and i had been laid off right after the dotcom era. because i had come up in the dotcom era, i thought i was really special because people were handing out paychecks and vp titles. this was, like 2000, 2001. when i was laid out, i thought a great job was just around the corner. when i marched into the unemployment office with my prada bag, i thought a job was just around the corner and it turns out it wasn't. so when i started to write about my frustrations on the internet, it turned out i was just an angry person with a lot to say. but there were a lot of other angry people with a lot to say

out there. that became my first book which was "bitter is the new black." so i was writing what i knew and it just so happened that a lot of people were going through that same exact thing. >> do you start with character or with story? >> when i write novels i start with characters because they're the ones who tell me what the stories are. when i write memoirs, i just go straight ♪ oh you're the best friend ♪
