clinton's campaign manager robby mook is here. he'll talk to george live in a moment but first abc's cecilia vega is on the campaign trail in charlotte, north carolina, with the latest. good morning, cecilia. >> reporter: robin, good morning to you. that first debate now a little more than two weeks away, but overnight both sides facing off over what it takes to be commander in chief and the one thing that both of these candidates can agree on, neither side is ready for the job. it was the first time they shared a stage and though never on it at the same trump and hillary clinton went head-to-head on national security. the republican candidate blasting american military leaders. >> i think under the leadership of barack obama and hillary clinton, the generals have been reduced to rubble. >> reporter: and openly discussing the classified intelligence briefing he received as a candidate. >> there was one thing that shocked me, what i did learn is that our leadership, barack obama, did not follow what our

call it intelligence, it's there for a reason, what our experts said to do. >> reporter: in the nbc forum overnight clinton making this promise about america's role in the middle east. >> we are not putting ground troops into iraq ever again and we're not putting ground troops into syria. we're going to defeat isis without committing american ground troops. >> reporter: while trump would not reveal his plan. >> if i win, i don't want to broadcast to the enemy exactly what my >> reporter: what there was no shortage of, attacks. clinton saying her vote for the iraq war was a mistake while slamming trump's shifting position. >> the decision to go to war in iraq was a mistake. now, my opponent was for the war in iraq. he says he wasn't. you can go back and look at the record. >> i was against the war in iraq because i said it was going to totally destabilize the middle east. >> reporter: that's not what

2002. >> are you for invading iraq. >> yeah, i guess so. i wish the first time it was done correctly. >> reporter: another mistake she admitted to, those e-mails. >> it was a mistake to have a personal account. i would certainly not do it again. i make no excuses. >> reporter: while trump defended a controversial tweet about sexual assaults in the military. in 2013 trump writing "only 238 convictions. what did these geniuses expect when they put men together?" asked about it overnight, trump wouldn't back down. >> well, it is -- it is a correct tweet and by the way, since then it's gotten worse. not to kick them out. part of the problem right now is nobody gets prosecuted. >> reporter: this morning president obama is weighing in from overseas saying trump is not ready for the oval office. >> i don't think the guy's qualified to be president of the united states.

opinion is confirmed. >> reporter: well, you heard it there. the president is in laos and he is really blasting donald trump. this morning he said the republican candidate has, quote, either contradictory or uninformed or outright wacky ideas. george. >> not holding back at all, cecilia, thanks very much. let's talk to hillary clinton's campaign manager robby mook right now. robby, thanks for joining us this morning. were you hurricane with how the forum went last night? >> absolutely. this was an opportunity for between these two candidates and what they saw was that hillary clinton both has a real command of the issues but also the experience and the judgment to be our commander in chief and what we saw from donald trump was that he is simply unfit for the job. he insults at our generals. he said that men and women were not capable of serving together in our military. he showered praise again on vladimir putin despite matt lauer walking through all of

things that he's done. so i think voters really saw that difference and saw only one candidate was prepared to be commander in chief and that's hillary clinton. >> here's what reince priebus said. angry, defensive, no smile, you uncomfortable. upset that she was caught sending our secrets. >> this is what is so incredible and challenging for the republicans, the fact that the only criticism they could have for hillary clinton is didn't smile enough at a very serious forum on our veterans, on our national security and on the job of commander in chief. just tells you everything you need to know. donald trump simply didn't come prepared and he's not going to be prepared to serve as president and that was abun dpaptsly clear. >> hillary clinton lost the coin toss so she went first and donald trump went second. let me give you a chance to respond to a couple of things.

showed barack obama did not follow what his experts told him to do and could tell from the body language they were not happy. your response? >> well, first of all it's concerning that donald trump was, you know, was potentially sharing information that he learned in his briefing. i mean, but what was really scary, george, was he keeps talking about the secret plan that he has to defeat isis. well, it was clear last night, there's really no plan at all, and that's what's scary is, first of all, he doesn't seem to to make good digs as commander in chief but he doesn't have any plans and he certainly didn't have command of the issues or the questions that he was being asked. >> hillary clinton said last night she would never again put ground troops in iraq but there are ground troops in iraq. >> well, i think what she was referring to there specifically was the volume of troops that had been there before. but, again, hillary clinton is actually released a plan, a

one. he's keeping it secret. but, again, last night it was clear there just isn't a plan and he's trying to hide from that and he lashed out at our nation's generals when he was asked for details. so, again, there's no plan there. and donald trump has shown us yet again he is unfit to serve. >> robby mook, thanks for joining us today. >> thanks so much. all right, george, let's bring in jon karl on this discussion about the forum last night. it's evident how the president, what he feels about what >> yeah. >> did we learn anything new about the candidates, were where they stand on certain positions. >> look, the first thing is this was a rough night for hillary clinton, robin. i mean 13 minutes of questioning was on her e-mails. and despite what robby mook said there, you could tell she was irritated by this. she was legalistic, she was defensive. donald trump got off relatively easy, seemed confident. seemed at ease, but he was let

for. he praised putin again in pretty glowing terms and, you know, he went on to attack the generals, the seen officers in the military. >> not only did he do that, lou unprecedented is it for a candidate to share classified information from an intelligence briefing. >> that was bizarre. >> did he reveal too much. >> i've been covering presidential elections for a long time. i've never seen a presidential candidate talk about one of those briefings. he didn't reveal any qualified information but implied they we >> that's the thing. these intelligence briefings are done by intelligence professional, not political people at all, not policy people at all. they don't weigh in on policy. that's why it was sort of surprising to hear him characterize what they were saying in that way. >> yeah, they can't defend themselves and implies they were basically on his side and can't speak about this at all. >> big difference from a debate. they did go back-to-back. each -- it will be more interesting to say, i guess it's

pick up on. when the opponent goes and whether they decide to jump in. >> i think that what it showed is both have a lot of prepwork to do before the next debate. hillary clinton needs to be able to handle these tough -- she still doesn't have a good answer on e-mails and donald trump will not get off so easy in the next debris. >> you think with hillary clinton because she hasn't had any press conferences or that time -- >> huge. for two reason, robin, first of back and forth. went 270 days without a press conference. not a lot of tough interviews. if she had been doing that the questions would have been asked and matt lauer would have maybe felt less of a need to hammer over and over again on e-mails and would be more at ease with the questions. >> jon karl, thank you. >> do more press conferences. >> yes. >> of course, that's going to be it. >> practice, practice, practice. what they need to do. now to that flooding in the

is going to tell us what's left of the former tropical storm newton and it's messing up the south and ginger is here with that. >> we are learning that tucson had almost a month's worth of rain in just one day as the remnants of what was newton passed over. didn't make history as that tropical storm but some got up to a half foot and spewing that ongoing flash flooding. that's from milwaukee, wist, a lot picking up 3, 4, 5 inches quickly and thisni see it on the satellite image as that pools up. chicago back to kansas city really ruckus morning. that moisture going to pool and, again, that's why we see flood watches south of davenport, east of wichita. the next story is right here. new york city, philadelphia, dover, all in a heat advisory. it'll feel close to 100. look at some of those heat indices, 106 in dover. >> that is hot. o., ginger, thanks.

video shows a gunman attacking a 71-year-old man there watering his lawn. abc's alex perez is in chicago with the latest. this comes after chicago's deadliest month in decades. >> reporter: yeah, that's right, george. this morning we're trying to figure out what exactly investigators are looking at here. now, what we've learned from investigators who are following this case is that the 71-year-old man was minding his own business when suddenly h this morning, chicago police on the hunt for the brazen suspects that took down this senior citizen and then shot him. the entire ordeal captured on tape by a neighbor's surveillancecamera. he was out watering his front lawn tuesday when two men ride past him on bicycles and moments later one of those men returns wrestling him to the ground and shooting him in the abdomen then rivaling through his pockets and stealing his wallet.

you're not even safe in your own yard. >> reporter: injured laguardia gets himself to a neighbor's front door and calls for help. the unbelievable video another sign of the record-breaking violence plaguing some parts of chicago. in 2016 nearly 3,000 shootings so far. more than 500 murders. more than new york and los angeles combined. >> it's not a police issue. it's a society issue. you know, improve otherished neighborhoods, people without you show me a man who doesn't have hope and i'll show you a man who picks up a gun and ready to do anything. >> reporter: they're hoping this video leads to an arrest. >> if you can identify your child on there, do the right thing before you get the knock on the door. >> reporter: laguardia is doing better and his wife says he's in fair condition. >> thanks very much. you spent time with nba star

>> right there on the street. and he says, he's going to do what he needs to do and others need to do to take back their community. >> he is going back home and says it reminds him what it was like growing up back in the '90s when there was a lot of violence of as well. the most important thing he needs, he nis, is mentors. there are gang wars going on. they have to find a way to get a ham on it. >> for the young men and women. they need those >> they need hope. >> amy is here with the rest of today's top headlines. a highway shooting in arizona. >> tough story. a woman has died after being shot while just driving down the highway in phoenix. police say she called 911 to say she was being chased by a truck, dispatchers then heard three shots, no arrests have been made yet. police say there is no apparent link to a serial shooting in that area blamed for seven recent killings. some disturbing video from southern california.

baton to repeatedly hit a suspect on the ground. police say moments earlier that supreme court tried to began the officer's gun inside a store in marietta and the investigation is under way. surveillance video showing the moment a murder suspect in las vegas twisted and broke through his handcuffs after being left alone in a police interrogation room just last week, he then climbed through the ceiling to escape. it took police 25 minutes to realize he was gone and finally captured tuesday. an school bus passed by earth. the space rock buzzed the planet wednesday at 18,000 miles an hour and scientists discovered it only two days earlier. this comes as nasa launches a rocket today sending a robot to another asteroid to collect dust in hopes of finding clues to the origins of life. and soccer star rapinoe didn't get a chance to protest the national anthem.

players were still in their locker room. she took a knee during a recent game to join nfl quarterback colin kaepernick's protest for minority rights. and it was a messy morning commute around wilmington, del delaware, after this truck overturned spilling thousands of pennies. it headed to the u.s. mint in philadelphia when it overturned and finally, trying to sell an office building shaped like a giant picnic basket apparently is no picnic. take a look. yep, that's an actual building. surprisingly a basket company in ohio. it cost $32 million to build this back in the '90s but the company is so desperate to sell it they lowered the sale price to just $5 million but no takers and been on the market for over a year. maybe if they took the hams off. >> i'm thinking the same thing. >> maybe. >> the land's got to be worth 5 million. >> maybe a little bit longer.

and reports this morning that the embattled olympian will be suspended for ten months following what happened in rio. abc's ryan smith joins us now with the latest. >> reporter: good morning. the suspension means the 32-year-old swimmer is out for next year's world championships the others are facing bans of several month, as well. officials from the usoc, united states olympic committee have yet to publicly comment but an announcement is believed to be coming the 12-time medalist apologizing for exaggerating a story that he was robbed at gunpoint creating an international incident. if he wants to continue competing, his next world championship, 2019 when he is 35 years old. that's going to be a tough one to do, robin. >> we have to wait to see if that happens. thank you very much. everyone kind of suspected something like this -- >> had to happen. >> ginger, what's going on in arizona? >> we talked about that flooding

happened in parts of arizona near flagstaff, of course, so that circulating energy in the atmosphere now has moved of course noand storms and coming at you in the dakotas. it'll slide by and anyone from des moines back through kansas city, even wichita along i-35 will look out for damaging wind. this is for tomorrow so heads-up

blood system and even that didn't scare me in stopping. can you believe it? even that. >> reporter: haunted by crushing insecurity and anxiety that began as a child vargas said a glass or two of wine helped smooth frayed nerves, over the years, social drinking fueled by that anxiety became a dangerous addiction, a startling statistic, more than 60% of women who have a problem with alcohol also struggle with anxiety. >> good evening, we begin with two rest -- >> reporter: to watch elizabeth anchor live tv you'd have no idea she was forcing herself to suppress deep anxiety. >> i mean i remember anchoring the evening news and every single night when michelle, and i love michelle, the floor manager, when she would count down, i hated it. >> two minutes. >> two minutes. >> and, you know, my heart would start pounding. >> one minute. >> now i'm like hyperventilating.

studio, the edges of my vision would start to swim a little. and if you watch carefully at the beginning of every newscast -- "world news tonight" -- >> you will see me lean in and grip the desk with my right hand. >> and on my left hand which i'm holding my pen i'm taking my engagement ring and digging the edge of it into my thumb. >> why did you go in this business if it was going to torment you like that? >> i loved it. i still love it. i love telling people stories. >> but i mean people can look at you and say you're so lucky, really. >> i am lucky. it's easy to say that on the outside looking in and, first of all, yes, i am -- you know, i am so lucky to have my two amazing children and to have this amazing job. it doesn't matter how much you have or how little you have, it didn't matter. it leveled me. it knocked me flat on my butt. i, you know -- i lost sight of

everything. >> reporter: and as the mother of two young boys, a punishing reality. >> i was drinking and sleeping, and i do vividly remember like one afternoon sam standing by that -- my head in the bed saying, mommy, when are you going to get up? and i remember i could smell the sunscreen and i could feel the heat from hi because he just had come in from the beach and i would die for my children, diane. i wouldn't give a nanosecond's worth of thought to die for my children, to kill for my children but i would die for my children but i couldn't stop drinking for my children. i don't know if i will ever forgive myself for hurting them with my drinking ever. >> so vulnerable, so honest, so

children that help her continue that fight against this disease each and every day. guys. >> so raw, all right, amy. thank you. dr. richard besser is here and going to talk more about this. because we don't often talk about alcohol abuse and women and it seems that it is -- there's signs it's a growing problem. >> yeah, i mean it's so important that elizabeth is sharing her story and it helps deal with the stigma and it's hard to get good numbers. one thing wew under the influence for men is going down and for women going up. >> she said she never drove when she drank but heavy drinking is actually more dangerous for women. >> it is. when you compare women to men, women are more likely to have liver disease, heart disease, brain disease and it increases the risk for breast cancer and it puts them at risk of being victims of sexual abuse. >> and she also writes in the book it took her -- multiple trips to rehab over a period of months before she was able to quit drinking for good.

with relapses? >> that's the story you keep hearing. it's a disease and each time you have to struggle and finally admit you have a problem, then you can start to ask for help and you go through that cycle every time. >> it's so good she was honest about that and multiple times for her to do that and for people to know that and to know that it is a disease. okay, so, rich, you know there are some people that are women especially watching this morning and saying, okay, do i have a problem? are there questions we can ask ourselves? >> yeah, so, there are four simple questions and if you answer yes to these, it doesn't necessarily mean you have a drinking problem, it may miss some people but it means you should ask for help. have you ever felt that you should cut down on your drinking? second, have people annoyed you by criticizing the amount that you're drinking? have you ever felt bad or guilty about your drinking and have you ever had a drink first thing in the morning to steady the nerves or to fight a hangover? if you answered yes to any of those questions, it's a good sign you should ask for some

>> all right, rich, thank you. those are good questions we should ask ourselves and elizabeth will share much more of her story in a diane sawyer special edition of "20/20" airing tomorrow night right here on abc. and, robin, i got what's coming up on the big board, everybody. apple's big announcement pulling back the curtain on the iphone 7, does it live up to the hype? and a work alert about toxic employees. what do you do if they're productive but bad for the office. that's coming up on the big board with our experts. the big our experts. ? ? ma'am? ma'am? the line starts over here, ma'am. own your everyday runway. now that's the good stuff. kohl's. come on duck!

back now with the big board team of insiders standing by to weigh in on more of today's top stories. patrick mcenroe here with us. from espn. we'll get to you in just a moment. we'll begin with becky worley on apple's big announcement. that new iphone 7 out yesterday. a lot of new features headed our way. always a lot of buzz around these. run us through the important stuff. >> yeah, let's just get right into it, george. it's available september 16th. it starts at $649. that's the unsubsidized price,

the guts of this thing -- faster, more storage, better battery and for the first time water resistance, they didn't say waterproof. can't wait to put that to the test. let's talk colors. new black and jet black, plus you still got the gold, silver and brose gold, that's what you call it when the dude gets the pink iphone. brose gold and camera is buffed out. it's better in low light and in the 7 plus the big phone, they have two cameras, one is a telephoto, real zoom. not software pinch and zoom. finally, the audio jack is out. you will get headphones that work through the charging port and including an adapter for your old headphones but i am not a woman who has had success at keeping track of them. i give it a week. >> i ordered one of these and -- >> you did? >> i'm like --

i'll admit it. it's not brose gold. everybody's tweeting about these ear buds, and here's what jesse tyler ferguson said, "i don't even own it yet, but i can guarantee you i've already lost one of my airpod earbuds." josh groban tweeted that airpods, i guess another name is taken. so, this has everybody up in arms and i don't know how i'm going to be able to keep track of these. >> i completely agree, michael until the find my airpod app is invented i can't justify shelling out 160 bucks for them. they run on batteries, five hours and can charge them off the case, that's cool but from a design perspective, you know, these protrusions coming out of your ears say they're directional microphones but, michael, you got a pair of the old headphones and i'm just saying, you got scissors. doesn't it look like they went

mr. mcenroe. there we go. >> you got to be tough. >> we got wireless right here. >> already lost one, you see that? >> so why did you buy it, just because -- because it's faster? >> because i can't help myself. that's why i bought it. i can't help myself it's a major problem. hey, becky, now to a major problem in the workplace. toxic employees. a "philadelphia inquirer" reporting on a business owner who fired his star wor created a toxic environment and after the employee was gone productivity went up by more than a third and we have tory johnson joining us now to discuss this. >> hey, good morning. you know what, so this is one of those things we know that toxic workers definitely take a toll. decreased productivity, higher turnover, just miserable employees, if you will, and there's things that you can do about it, and that's what is important.
