the investigation this morning. and a hollywood ending. angelina jolie filing for divorce from brad pitt. after 12 years together and just two years married -- >> are you out of your mind? what is wrong with you? >> you're what's wrong with me. >> what was behind their surprising split and who will get custody of their six children as the power couple parts ways? and good morning, america. we have a lot of breaking news to get to starting with those protests that erupted in charlotte, north carolina overnight. >> take a look at that scary scene. hundreds of people, people in the streets closing down a highway after an officer shot and killed a man. police say he was armed by his family says that is not true. >> these protests come on top of course, of that deadly shooting in tulsa, oklahoma. tensions mounting all across the country and abc's steve osunsami
7:02 am
steve. >> reporter: good morning, robin. even at this hour, there's a hint of smoke mt. air. this walmart behind me was broken into. the evening began with protesters who were somewhat aggressive, but peaceful, and it ended with thieves, looters and common criminals. >> reporter: through the the streets of charlotte were on fire frightened families watched the rioting from the safety of their televisions at home as large crowds of mostly young african-american residents blocked highways, set fires and tried to overturn this police car. >> how many times are you going to look the other way? >> reporter: police used flash grenades to send the crowds away. at least a dozen officers were hurt. the night began peacefully, hundreds of people came to protest the police shooting death of 43-year-old keith lamont scott.
7:03 am
standing on the truck. that's it. pow, pow, pow, pow, pow. he ain't got a gun. >> reporter: he wasn't the person they were looking for, but police say they were forced to shoot when he pulled out a gun. police say they recovered a gun at the scene. >> this subject gets out with a weapon, they engage him and one of the officers felt a lethal threat and fired his weapon because of that. >> reporter: but his family says he was unarmed and holding a book he was reading in the car. on facebook, his daughter poste a livestream that appears to come from the scene. >> the police just shot my daddy four times for being black. >> reporter: but in this case police confirm both the victim and the police officer are african-american. it's a much different story in tulsa, but no less controversial. in the police shooting here officer betty shelby says terence crutcher would not listen to any of her commands when the officer says she felt the man was on drugs. >> she's screaming at him, stop, stop, stop. he walks up to the window, faces the suv and then looks at her
7:04 am
she fired her shot. >> shots fired. >> reporter: but attorneys for crutcher's family tell a different story and say the video shows there's no way he could have reached into that window. >> the window was up, so how could he be reaching into the car if the window is up and there is blood on the glass? >> reporter: the city's black police chief and mayor are promising a complete investigation, and they are asking for calm. >> we're going to bring in pierre thomas for more on this. this seems like an especially dangerous moment in time. have you ever seen tensions this high? >> reporter: good morning, robin. it is. rioting in charlotte comes at a tinderbox moment. dramatic killings of african-american men caught on tape. remember that case in minnesota with the woman describing her boyfriend being shot to death on facebook live. also the baton rouge police killing of a black man, and just
7:05 am
shooting, that chilling video of the man in tulsa, shot after holding his hands in the air unarmed. these have left many in the african-american concerned, fearful and quite frankly, angry. nfl quarterback, colin kaepernick, and the debates he sparked shows this is part of a national dialogue, and it also comes at a time when violent crime is rising in some communities, and rising in some communities and when the number of police killed in shoot-outs is up dramatically, so many officers are concerned for their own safety and believe the black lives matter issue is overblown. >> if the police didn't have body cams in charlotte, how does this affect the investigation? >> it makes it much more complicated. you need the body cams because the days are over when many in the african-american community will simply accept the position of the police and that's why i expect to see the justice department to come here and investigate because they are now the referee in these cases. >> yes, they are. all right, pierre, thanks very much. >> so much will depend on whether or not they can
7:06 am
>> true. we move on to the race for the white house. with 48 days until the final vote donald trump under fire over his foundation. "the washington post" reported that trump used more than $250,000 in donations to settle personal business lawsuits and tom llamas is on the trial with trump in raleigh, north carolina. good morning, tom. >> reporter: good morning to you, george. this is exactly the type of story that has knocked trump off message in the past. trump has said he's donated more than $100 million to charity. but he's never provided any proof. this morning there is proof he donated a lot of money to charities for questionable reasons and a lot of that money wasn't out of his pocket. donald trump is always pointing the finger at systems he calls corrupt and rigged. but now it's trump's foundation being accused of shady deals. "the washington post" finding several instances where trump allegedly used foundation money to settle lawsuits and for personal gain. a charity violation known as self-dealing.
7:07 am
$120,000 fine at his mar-a-lago resort for a flagpole nearly twice the size allowed in town. he settled by agreeing to donate $100,000 to a veterans charity. the problem, abc news has learned the check came from the donald trump foundation, not trump himself. >> let's make very clear to the viewers, a veterans charity received $100,000 because of that, and i'm sure they benefitted from it. >> reporter: just last night, trump bragged about a tactic he uses in his businesses, called -- >> opm. other people's money. >> reporter: a way he can spend without using his money in some cases. >> i do that all the time in business. called other people's money. there's nothing like doing things with other people's money. >> reporter: but did trump do the same thing with his foundation? the billionaire candidate is accused of buying art with the
7:08 am
in 2014, allegedly spending $10,000 of the foundation's cash on this portrait of himself seen here on tripadvisor's website. the foundation's tax returns show the last time he made a personal contribution was eight years ago. "the post" reports since then he spent $12,000 of the foundation's money at a charity auction to buy a helmet signed by tim tebow. >> one candidate's family foundation has saved countless lives around the world. the other candidate's foundation took his charity and then bought a six-foot-tall painting of himself. >> reporter: now the trump campaign says that everything has been reported to the irs and this report is, a, quote, distraction from the corrupt clinton campaign. we should mention the new york attorney general is investigating the trump foundation right now for a donation it made to a group supporting florida's attorney general, pam bondi, for $25,000 at the time bondi was considering investigating trump university.
7:09 am
exchange favors for donations. george. >> okay, tom, thanks very much. let's talk about this with our political analyst, matthew dowd and now you have this new york attorney general investigating the trump foundation amid these allegations. trump university in court in california and possibly in new york. as well, and at what point do these charges start to weigh trump down? >> i think they're already going to have an impact. i think it's exceedingly problematic for donald trump and his campaign. they have been making an against the clintons on their foundation. now it's almost as if al capone is accusing bonnie and clyde of being crooked and you're in a position where you can't do that anymore so i think it's already beginning to undercut them. >> in the meantime, this comes up before the first debate monday night. the stakes could not be higher. you'll have more than 90 million people, maybe more than 100 million watching 90 minutes, the two of them on stage with a moderator. both you and i have helped prep presidential candidates for debates like this. i think in this case with that kind of an audience, both of
7:10 am
strategy if possible, be as positive as you can? >> they will try that, but it's incumbent for hillary to have trump break out and incumbent on trump to stay calm and steady. this will be the largest audience any of these candidates faces, three times as what watched the republican convention and democratic convention so it's a super bowl sized event. >> you think hillary clinton is under more pressure to go on offense, to go on the attack. >> she's been dwindling in the polls. the polls have closed over last two weeks. she has to actually force the issue on donald trump. if donald trump doesn't do anything in this debate, he wins, so she has to force the attack. >> the prep couldn't be more different. hillary clinton tapering off the next six days full-blown debate prep. donald trump meeting with his advisers around the table, throwing questions back and forth. >> i think hillary clinton's really smart about this, because if you look at the moments left in this campaign, there's four. three presidential debates and one vice presidential debate and those are the most important things left. it's not three rallies around country. i think taking time off resting is the best strategy in this.
7:11 am
thanks very much. >> all right. gentlemen. to the latest on suspected bomber ahmad rahami. officially charged with using weapons of mass destruction here in new york and new jersey. as new details about the attack and his wife emerge. abc's chief investigative correspondent, brian ross, is here with those details. good morning, brian. >> reporter: good morning, robin. the new federal charges lay out in detail how rahami assembled the components, built the bombs and planted them in four locations. alleging he was motivated by calls from overseas jidi wherever they live. officials say the planning for the fateful day he would plant the bombs, allegedly hidden in roller suitcases began at least three months ago. the complaint says fingerprints and forensic evidence tie him directly to the bomb that went off in new york. the bomb that failed to detonate four blocks away, plus the bomb placed at a marine corps charity race in new jersey, and at a new jersey train station.
7:12 am
two of rahami's favorite videos on youtube as jihadi anthems including this one. ? the charges come the day after rahami's father told reporters he had warned the fbi two years ago that his son had developed connections to terrorists. >> what did you tell them? >> i called the fbi two years ago and told them you got a connection with this guy. >> reporter: but the fbi says the father later recanted his allegations and the son was never questioned by the fbi. >> if i was part of the would have asked, why are we not doing it? >> reporter: the father's allegations followed his son's yearlong trip to pakistan, which is now a key to the investigation. officials today are reviewing photos posted on facebook of the accused bomber. while in pakistan, rahami also married and had two children with this woman, asia bibi who entered the u.s. at kennedy airport in may 2014 and then left the u.s. three months ago
7:13 am
officials say her husband began to build his bombs. this morning, officials confirm rahami's wife was interviewed by the fbi tuesday after she was stopped at the dubai airport attempting to board a flight to the u.s. the fbi's looking to talk to other relatives as well in the complaint, officials say rahami is recorded on a family member's cell phone doing a kind of test run in the family backyard just days before the actual bombing. the complaint does not identify which family member may have recorded that. >> all right, brian, thank you very much. all right, everybody, take a look at this massive blaze. one of the wildfires that's tearing through the west, burning through an air force base, and ginger is here with the growing threat, and good morning, ginger. >> another morning where we wake up and the canyon fire is even bigger but now it's 45% contained and the rocket launch on sunday was delayed because of this fire, but again, they are saying in their small area, things are getting better. i have to say they are not
7:14 am
this is in newhall, california where they had to shut down parts of i-5 northbound for a time so just north of los angeles. things are really lighting up there. we wish that the remnants of paine which was in the pacific would have made it there but the moisture did just only a little. most of this area still going to see those santa ana winds kick up. we could see gusts up to 55. it's not looking great, george. >> okay. thanks very much. we- on now to outrage over epipens, hot seat facing tough questions from congress over whether her mom was improperly promoting the product. abc's mary bruce is on capitol hill with the story. good morning, mary. >> reporter: good morning, george. the mylan ceo is already being slammed for skyrockets prices criticized for her fat paycheck and now learning more about the role her family may have played in the lucrative growth of this life-saving shot. this morning, embattled mylan pharmaceutical ceo, heather bresch facing new questions about the role her mother played in promoting her company's blockbuster product.
7:15 am
epipen autoinjectors whenever you go. >> reporter: m for raising the price of the life-saving treatment used by severe allergy sufferers from $100 in 2009 to more than $600 today. >> the last thing that we would ever want is no one to have their epipen due to price. >> reporter: now "usa today" reporting bresch's mother, gayle manchin, the former head of a powerful national education group, led an unprecedented effort encouraging states to require products like epipens. a campaign that reportedly drove the devices to become staples in schools. the drugmaker now pushing back saying in a statement that the report is factually inaccurate and that hundreds of thousands of epipens were donated with no restrictions. but at least one state, new york, is beginning an investigation into mylan's school contracts for alleged anti-competitive business practices. bresch's family ties have been called into question already. her father is west virginia senator, joe manchin. we caught up with him recently.
7:16 am
response to the outrage over epipen pricing? but he declined to answer our questions. >> i'm happy to speak about that later. >> reporter: and senator manchin is not commenting directly on his wife's role. meanwhile, his daughter will be grilled by lawmakers today. heather bresch is expected to be unapologetic and fierce in her defense of the company and her salary. george. >> but she will come under fire. okay, mary, thanks very much. now to amy with today's other top stories starting with a mystery near san francisco. >> that's right. thousands of people were told to stay indoors overnight. this was in the city of vallejo, california in the bay area and they were told to shelter in place with their windows closed because of a strong gas odor sweeping across the area. firefighters say the odor is not natural gas and it is not coming from a nearby refinery. the coast guard found a sheen on the water, but they were not sure where it was coming from. so we'll have more details for you as we get them. in the meantime, millions of drivers paying more at the pump will now be getting some relief.
7:17 am

7:18 am
reaction there in the stands. you know, they later got the ball, gave it to mom as a souvenir but think about this. his first hit in the major leagues was a home run. >> all right. >> oh, the joy, the joy, the joy. you got a little baseball behind you there. >> i do have a little baseball. anywhere else in the nation, you see a tarp, and a rain delay, no big deal. this only happened six types in the san diego padres' history so diamondbacks were playing them. hey, padres, what is that on your field because people from san diego and arizona say we're not used to that. more rain on the way and more in parts of the nation. wisconsin back to minneapolis could see flooding rains. your local weather in 30 seconds. first though, the rainy cities

jen ashton here live with us. >> not just wearing it, you have to do the work. >> yes. >> interesting what it does to your mind to what you think you can do if you're wearing it. >> that's it. that could be it. >> or give it to somebody else and let them do the work. sneaky. >> you're the hall of famer, okay. we begin with that blockbuster breakup. angelina jolie filing for divorce from brad pitt. so many questions this morning about what went wrong and what it means for the couple's six children. abc's matt gutman is in los angeles the split. good morning, matt. >> reporter: hey, good morning, robin. despite rumors of a possible brad pitt affair, sources telling us that a third party did not cause the split and while the couple hasn't directly addressed the rumors of what separated them, both issued statements about what still unites them. the well-being of their kids. in the two films in which they starred together, "mr. and mrs. smith" then "by the sea."
7:32 am
stop. >> reporter: angelina jolie and brad pitt portray couples more cruel than caring. >> anybody who is married or in a long-term relationship knows this, that you cannot just keep things in, and you can't play it safe. >> reporter: apparently not. on monday jolie filing for divorce after 12 years of being together and just two years of marriage. in this 11-page court document obtained by abc news, she cites irreconcilable differences as the reason for the split, not asking for child or spousal support, but asking for physical custody of the couple's six children petitioning her soon-to-be ex to get visitation rights. her attorney telling abc news this decision was made for the health of the family. pitt releasing a statement to "people" magazine saying, i'm very saddened by this, but what matters most now is the well-being of our kids. the new surprising family. >> sad time and i'm concerned about the kids. >> reporter: and catching famous
7:33 am
that's -- i feel very sorry then, and that's a sad story. >> reporter: the couple reportedly fell in love while making "mr. and mrs. smith." >> you think this story is going to have a happy ending. >> happy endings are stories that haven't finished yet. >> reporter: while pitt was still married to jennifer aniston, and then pitt, eventually adopting jolie's children, and expanng family and finally tieing the knot at the behest of the kids. >> my kids don't even know what i do. i want them to say dad was pretty cool. >> reporter: recently the couple's been beset by rumors that pitt had developed a romantic relationship with actress marion cottilard on the set of their upcoming world war ii drama "allied." >> now kiss me. >> but sources telling abc news, there was no third party involved in the breakup. for a couple that always made their kids their number one priority. >> i say kids first, kids and
7:34 am
>> reporter: it's fitting they were last seen together in july grocery shopping and in this tmz photo, having dinner with the kids. the now former hollywood couple has a net worth estimated in the hundreds of millions, and while that blandly worded divorce document mentions that jolie will not seek child or spousal support, it doesn't mention how they would split up their fortune, including their french chateau and homes in new york, hollywood and new orleans. robin? >> we'll bring in "people's" executive editor kate coyne and our chief legal analyst dan abrams. a lot of people are talk about this around the breakfast table this morning. we saw the statement that brad pitt released to "people" magazine. what do your sources tell you about how he is handling all this? >> he's incredibly sad. he's heartbroken. but for an interesting more nuanced reason than i think a lot think.
7:35 am
they have had issues for quite some time. there have been ongoing discussions about calling an end to it, about calling it quits. what is particularly devastating for him right now is how this played out. his expectation was of something in the gwyneth paltrow/ben affleck and jen garner vein, they would announce a separation jointly in some way, go underground with their kids while the storm raged outside them. that they would basically put on a unified front and so instead to essentially wake up and learn that she had sort of acted unilaterally was incredibly saddening for him. >> the statement from her attorney, kate, that really spoke volumes saying, quote, that the reason she's filing for divorce is for the health of the family. the health of the family. >> yeah, that little statement right there sort of speaks volumes between that and filing for sole physical custody, you know, i was saying to dan
7:36 am
but from where i sit, those are fighting words. that's an opening salvo right there, and it really was an intense way to kick off something that i think at least from brad's camp, it had been hoped this wouldn't be a battle. >> any idea why she has filed? why she's asking for divorce. >> i think it's fair to say in these ongoing discussions, in the issues they've been grappling with, clearly, one of both of the them reached some sort of a breaking point, and it wasn't pretty. >> now, you saw those allegations of the affair as well but when it comes to the whole issue of physical custody. the matter is not what kind of husband he was, but what kind of father he is. >> the affair wouldn't matter particularly unless it related to, somehow, the kids. and kate is right, this is a very aggressive move to be asking for sole physical custody. she's saying let's agree to legal custody jointly meaning we make decisions for the kids together, but when it comes to physical custody, where they live, i want them to live with me.
7:37 am
when you have been bringing up children together in a family n a place to say, these children should now all be moved to me, and me alone is going to be her burden now to demonstrate that as a legal matter in the best interest of the children, they should be with her and not with him. >> if you have that in the best interest of the children standard wouldn't that move pore tors a settlement than going to court? >> always, always, particularly in a high-profile case like this. and i'm sure that his attorney when he gets all of this sorted out, is probably going to mention that in the context either off the record or on the record that, boy, would have been a lot nicer to have been able to resolve this in a much more amicable way, rather than dragging the kids through this public separation. >> they're all minors ranking from age 8 to 15. got to keep those six children in mind in that. >> the number one priority. the preview of the big board.

7:40 am
welcome back. time now for our big board. our team of insiders standing by live for more on this morning's top stories. jennifer ashton ran to the table pulling a hammy to do it. we'll get to her story in a moment. we're going to start with that political bombshell first. former president george h.w. bush number 41 reportedly overheard by multiple people at an event saying he would vote for hillary clinton in november. abc's jon karl joins us now, of course, we know about the facebook posting and all. how big of a deal is this, jon? >> in one sense it's not all
7:41 am
president bush's son, jeb bush, during the republican primaries but another sense this is a bombshell because not only is he saying that he is not going to vote for donald trump, but he is going the other -- all the way to say he will vote for hillary clinton. this is the former republican president who was beaten, you'll remember, of course, by bill clinton in 1992 saying not only can't he not support trump but he's going to vote for the democrat. it's pretty shocking. >> but, jon, even if he does do that, does it really sway people who traditionally maybe vote republican and say, well, he's doing it so i'll do it too? >> yeah, i don't think there's a huge constituency out there that was waiting to find out how president george h.w. bush was going to vote before deciding how to vote but, look, michael, this is the latest in a series of major figures in the republican primary and republican party, mitt romney, john kasich, ted cruz all coming out and saying that they are
7:42 am
trump. it's a pretty big step. i don't think this is going to move a lot of votes, but it can't help. >> how about the debate on monday? that's going to be huge, isn't it, jon? >> that is going to be unbelievable. i mean, seeing the two of them on stage at the same time, the stakes as high as they can possibly be and you know, the experts say this will be the largest televised debate, potentially, that we have ever seen. >> super bowl numbers. they are saying. >> i'm tuning in. guarantee you that. now to that lunch shaming backlash. a cafeteria worker resigning after she says she was forced to follow school policy and take away a student's hot meal because the child's parents owed more than $25. yeah, unbelievable stuff. here's what she had to say. >> i didn't say anything. you know, i just put the cheese sandwich on his tray and he just -- that's when he just looked and his eyes welled up. i'll never forget the little boy i'll never forget his eyes
7:43 am
>> we have educator ron clark who is joining us right now. ron, this is what the district superintendent said. he said, there has never been the intent with the adoption of the policy to shame or embarrass a child. but so how does something like this happen, first of all, and what was the school's policy in the first place? >> first of all, regardless of the policy, you never want to shame a kid. it really breaks my heart. i feel this is a crisis, but the policy is that if you receive free lunch, then you automaticall but according to financial guidelines, if your family can afford to pay then you need to pay and if you can't, then you get the bread and the cheese. but the problem is, that's putting the kid in an embarrassing situation. the parents have not paid their lunch fees and they owe $70 to $100,000, total for the district, so the district is trying to find a way to get the money by putting the pressure on the kid and that's wrong. you never want to put the kid in the middle. it's awkward and uncomfortable. >> you can't put the kid in the middle sitting with dr. jen
7:44 am
vital, vital to a child and for education. >> it's extremely important because if kids or even you if you're hungry you're going to be cranky, kids will have issues, discipline problems, but when kids feel good about themselves and when they have a healthy meal, they can focus better. just think about where you work. if there's good food there you're going to want to go there. what we did at our school we have two lunches every day, a lunch at 11:00 and one at 3:00 make sure they're nutrition and healthy and kids are happy and can focus. that's what we need in our country. we'r economy, number one military, number one infrastructure and we can't provide kids wonderful lunches at school? it's a crisis. come on. >> i know, but to come on y'all is right. thank goodness for that lunch lady. to step up like that and bring it to attention. >> the hot meal is on the plate and take it away, you can't serve it to another student anyway. >> they throw it away. it makes absolutely no sense.

your health. researchers at the university of pittsburgh monitoring over 400 millennials trying to lose weight and concluding those wearable devices may not be as effective as you think. all right, jen, tell us. >> here's the lowdown. this is where most of the media headlines on this study got it wrong. we are getting it right here. they didn't find that the wearable devices didn't work. they put this group wearing the wearables head-to-head against a group who tracked their fitness routines online and found that they did the same. they both improved. they both lost weight. so i think the bottom line is with these wearables, if it holds you accountable, if it inspires you, if it motivates you, we know that if you record what your behaviors are, people tend to do better. so, again, it's very individual. but they do have a place. >> they motivated me before i lost it. >> to get to the hall of fame. >> yeah. >> you were like, i got to get to the hall of fame. >> i have to keep up with these guys. well you know what? dr. ashton, thank you very much. ron and jon, thank you both, as well. coming up, that disturbing video of a man mugged while playing pokemon go, and raising

second son, pax, and gave birth to twins, vivienne and knocks. knox. >> i wake up every day, you know, just the happiest mommy and i'm so lucky. >> reporter: jolie talked to george in may 2014 about whether she and brad would ever get married. >> i think the important thing is that whenever we do it that the kids have a great time. >> reporter: tying the knot just three months later, in a family affair at their chateau in france, her veil designed by all six kids with colorful drawings and jolie changing h n >> it was an amazing day and i think there's an added security that comes with it. >> you know my reason. >> reporter: the couple's last film together, 2015's "by the sea" directed by jolie depicted a husband and wife with their marriage on the rocks. >> resist happiness. >> don't quote some book -- >> you don't resist happiness. >> reporter: turning out to be a foreshadowing for hollywood's most glamorous couple. so here to get into it is larry hackett, the former editor of
8:16 am
you covered them for years and did you think it was very different priorities? >> i don't think it was very different priorities. there is a way that celebrities break up. usually it's a joint statement together, we love each other but we're going our separate ways which is what brad pitt and jennifer aniston did. that didn't happen this time. this has the earmarks of being a rougher kind of breakup. when you have one of the parties issuing a statement and saying, i'm doing it for the health of the family, that is a cannon shot -- >> what do they mean? >> better be careful what's coming next is what they're saying. we better settle this and asking for sole custody of six children. that's not a good sign. out of the gate. that's to the press. can you imagine what's going on privately and then he said this is all about the kids which is his code for saying i'm not going to give up without a fight. it means i'm -- >> i'm going to fight for my kids. >> absolutely. >> i don't think either one of them wants this to get nasty because if it does, would that affect their careers? >> you raise a very good point. no couple that i can think of in recent history has been
8:17 am
both of their reputations have definitely risen by being together. so, again, that may not be front of mind right now but if this becomes super nasty and in public and dragged out it's not good for both of them. >> what do you see next steps? >> i see cooler heads prevailing and i see lawyers and representatives of both sides saying, how can we settle this without, you know, collateral damage to the children, ourselves and our careers? and do what we want to do. she wants to be a humanitarian and do her thing, and he wants to stay in hollywood and do thing. you know, hollywood is a very forgiving place in the community. on the other hand i don't think anybody wants to see wreckage but remember this marriage as being a wonderful thing with six children and people who try to better the world and let's try to preserve that even though the two at the top of it are no longer together. >> i agree with that. >> i agree with that. larry, thanks for your insight as always. coming up, the working mom making headlines, saying those who claim they are happy at home are lying. she'll join us next live on "good morning america." don't go anywhere.

8:23 am
first here's a look at her philosophy. >> you can say weird stay-at-home mom. >> reporter: in "bad moms ,"stay-at-home moms try to mask dissatisfaction. >> i'm very happy. >> reporter: and in the new book "the pie life," best-selling author samantha ettus claims that the misery is real when it comes to moms who choose to forgo a career and stay home with the kids. saying a healthy balance of work and personal success is the key to a happy life. you owe it to humanity to work. if experienced women disappear from the to help the young women behind them? >> how hard she works. >> such a hard worker. >> reporter: another important slice of the pie, letting go of the guilt that comes with being a working mom. ettus ses,ays, i realize that w i was away from my kids, i could be helping my family more by being as productive as work as possible.
8:24 am
samantha ettus joins us now. you have caused, well, let's say a discussion, a lively discussion. that would be fair to say in that's nye waist way to put it. >> you argue all mother, all mothers should keep a foot in the workplace and that people, women that work are happier which implies if you're a stay-at-home mom that you're not happy. that's a big debate there, samantha. you've got to admit. >> if you told me you were spending all of your time at work i would say to you your life is woefully imbalanced and it's the same thing. if you're spending all of your time parenting your life is woefully imbalanced. and we got to this place in life where we think that women should either be doing motherhood or work, but there are so many more dimensions of us, and working with thousands of women, i found that the happiest, and most fulfilled are those that play in six or seven places of their life. not just one or two. >> might feel overstressed, though, don't they? >> the idea is those six or seven are not all stressful. they include your friends and relationships so go on those date nights, they include your children and your career and your hobbies and your community and your health so go to the gym. i'm saying let's get to this place where enjoying a full life
8:25 am
>> you use this metaphor with the pie. can you explain what you mean? >> sure, instead of thinking of life as, you know, as i said these couple of dimensions, think of all of these seven slices and whether you have kids or not, you should be playing in six or seven of them. so a relationship or a quest to find one or your friend, you shouldn't be saying, i'll save friends for later on in life. i'm saying go on the moms night out and do it guilt-free. you'll be a better parent, a better worker, better partner, better friend if you're happier and more fulfilled. >> what do you say to those moms that say there aren't enough hours in the day for all that? >> i know. >> i like when moms tell me that because one of the things i share, there's a lot of tricks to getting what i call a 25th hour in your day. a lot of ways to manage your life. whether it's i call it the golden triangle. do all of your errands between work and home and your child's school. you know, there is a hair salon or gym or doctor in between those points and you can find one. so there's a lot of tricks like
8:26 am
>> apply to stay-at-home dads as well. we have been talk about stay at home moms, but dads as well. >> it's important that we keep a foot in the workforce. the statistical reality more than 50% of women who take time off from the workforce can't go back. they can't find positions. so i'm saying, you know, we talk so much about women and choices, but the most important thing is that you keep your options open because if you leave the workforce, even for just one year, you lose 18% of your future earnings forever. if you leave for three years, you lose almost 40% of your future earnings forever. work part time and keep that foot in the door. >> as we said, a lively discussion as we said. samantha, thank you. lara. >> thank you so much. robin, guess who is here? you don't have to guess.

8:32 am
to put an account together so when you go on tinder, you can listen to your potential person's playlist of music of what they like. >> so you know whether to swipe left or swipe right based on the music. >> i guess it's just another way for you to get a handle on whether you're simpatico. >> do you think -- >> i don't think that's enough. >> that's not enough for you? >> no, that's not enough. >> not enough to like the same music. >> no. >> you know what -- how about this, i'm going to play this song, and i want the audience, everybody to see if they would swipe right on this song ole ? let's get it on ? >> oh, yes. >> all right. who would swipe right? [ cheers and applause ] ? baby ? >> you know what you're looking for if you swipe right. >> you know what you're looking for if you're on tinder anyway so, yeah. >> good point. >> that is actually somebody at the desk's song. who do we think that song belongs to? >> i think that is lara spencer's song. i do.
8:33 am
>> it has you written all over it. >> lara, is that your song? >> it's my song because for the segment i wanted to make you laugh. >> oh, yeah, right, yeah. >> a likely story. >> and we got another song. would you swipe right or left on this one? listen to this one. ? a secret ? >> barry white. ? i don't just want to know ? >> sounds like barry white. >> again. >> swipe left. who would swipe right? [ cheers and applause ] >> 2 for 2. >> we're 2 for 2. he's back there yelling, right! he's like sign me up right now, man. >> wow. >> whose song was that? >> that was my song. it's a little "secret garden." quincy jones back in the day. >> sounded like barry. >> quincy jones produced it but barry white was singing it. >> barry and a whole bunch of artists. albee sure. i'm curious, mark, what is your song?
8:34 am
listen to right now is adele. and everybody thinks -- ? well, i have a few albums on my -- i have a jay-z and kanye west album on my phone and have a tupac greatest hits on my phone and adele but i always listen to adele because i'm always listening when i'm traveling and it relaxes me and makes me feel comfortable. people think i'm, you know, a wimp because of it, but i don't care. i absolutely love it. i've listened to that "21" album probably 21 million times. >> i have a feeling, if someone is looking at your tinder profile and it is you, they don't care what you're listening to, they're swiping right. >> thankfully i don't have to be on tinder. i have a beautiful wife at home. >> let's talk about your movie, shall we? >> yep. >> "deepwater horizon." [ cheers and applause ] a lot of us clearly remember, and i have a lot of family and friends down there in the gulf of mexico and the bp oil spill
8:35 am
yes, environmentally it was horrendous, but as you have approved in the story, it goes so much -- so farther than that. >> yeah, i mean, well, look, everybody knew about the environmental disaster, and it was horrific, but what people failed to recognize or at least what the media failed to acknowledge i think to a point where it was deserved was that 11 people lost their lives and that was overlooked and for us, and for me it was the big surprise once i read the script and i read "the new york times" piece, i was just shocked. you know, i mean i realized obviously a lot of people were affected. jobs were lost, you know, the fishing industry was completely destroyed, but 11 people lost their lives. you know, other people could find other jobs and other means, and those people aren't coming back, and we wanted to acknowledge them and their memory and honor them in a way that we felt they deserved and it was long overdue. and we were able to show the family members the movie the other day in new orleans and for them to finally have that was really special.
8:36 am
means a lot. you play somebody who was fighting for their lives and wanted to get back home to their families. here's a clip. >> that is mike. he works in a drilling rig. the pumps -- >> is everything okay? mike. >> wow. >> whoa. >> you play mike williams. >> yeah. >> mike williams. [ cheers and applause ] wow. and he was on set during the filming? >> yeah, mike was actually the last man off of the rig. all the lifeboats were gone, everything was gone. you know, he's somebody that i admire for many reasons, but he hates the term hero. he just says, you know, i was just doing my job and i would have done what any of my other brothers would have done but he's a pretty remarkable guy and i asked him to come and consult on the movie. because we wanted to make it accurate and authentic, and we
8:37 am
he was there to make sure that we were getting it right. >> and it looks like a very physical movie stuntwise. how was that for you? >> you know -- no, i'm 45 and i get banged up pretty good in this movie but, you know, you always want to step up in movies like this or movies like "lone survivor." you know, the actual guys are there and they went through it in real life so you've got to try to make it as realistic as possible. things got really sketchy when they lit me and dylan o'brien on fire here. you can see they lit us on fire and i didn't feel too comfortable with that. >> you were actually on fire? >> yeah, yeah. >> you wore a flame retardant suit. >> they put gel and stuff on you but put some other fluid on you and they light you on fire and walk away and the other guy grabs his coffee and hold on a second. we ready to roll? dude, i'm on fire. >> action. >> yeah. [ applause ] >> how was the lovely kate? >> she's fantastic.
8:38 am
cast is -- i experienced it in "lone survivor" -- when you're making a movie like this, it's no long er about your own individual experiences as an actor, but you were coming there to pay tribute to these people and everybody is there to create that and make it real and she was fantastic. you know, she's kind of the anchor, emotional anchor of the movie and from the audience's point of view, she is, you know, in communication with her husband and, mike, he loved his wife -- loves his wife and daughter so much that, you know, too. he went out there to provide for his family and to create a better life for them. >> i had a lot of family and friends down there for the premiere in new orleans. two thumbs up. they really appreciate it. >> once we had that, everything else is gravy. >> mark wahlberg, thank you. >> thank you. [ applause ] "deepwater horizon" hits theaters on september 30th. my friends have already seen it. but you got to wait a little bit longer. who is going to go see it?
