kind of rust belt states, winning in the midwest. >> he could. mike pence could shore him up with conservatives right there. meantime, you've got hillary clinton out on the campaign trail with president obama. could be her biggest asset in a lot of states but also carries some liabilities. >> certainly. president obama right now is seeing really high approval ratings compared to where he's been over the last couple of years. still very popular within the democratic party. if there are any questions about hillary clinton's ability to unite the party having barack obama out on the campaign trail will certainly put some of that to rest. >> okay, kristen soltis anderson, thanks very much. >> we move on to that huge fourth of july celebration overnight that was out of this world. nasa cheering as the juno spacecraft made history rocketing into jupiter's orbit now set to unlock mysteries about the planet and the universe and gio benitez has this exciting news. >> reporter: a truly exciting and historic mission to figure out the secrets of one of the most mysterious

explosion in new york's central park that seriously injured an 18-year-old tourist. police insisting the blast not an act of terrorism. >> what seems likely at this point is that we have i'd refer to it as an explosive hobbyist or experimenter, somebody that made this material then he wanted to test it. if somebody lives in that vicinity their backyard is central park. sort of an ideal location conducive to conducting that kind of experiment. >> reporter: the victim now identified as connor golden, a florida college student and avid skateboarder. his friends say he was simply walking on some rocks in the park sunday morning planning a hike later that day when the unthinkable happened. >> we don't know what happened. there was a small explosion and then -- >> dust. >> then dust. >> beyond the caliber of fireworks just based on what he heard. we think he stepped on something. >> reporter: the moment caught on camera. >> reporter: nypd officers

they can't be absolutely certain but the investigative premise you might say is this was perhaps a chemistry student, something along those lines trying to make fireworks for the events on july 4th. >> you worked on demining when you were at the state department. you're more skeptical. >> i think it needs to be an open question, george. we have lots of premeditation, somebody who calls themselves a hobbyist with an interesting in chemistry. somebody who went to length to create a dangerous explosive material so fourth of july, public place. i think we need to keep it as an open question as to what the motive and intent was. >> ray, one of the big open questions what this was. that could tell you a lot. >> absolutely and that's supposedly the results are coming back tomorrow. mark tory, who is an experienced investigator says it's chemicals that he doesn't particularly recognize. they'll be obviously continuing to check the cameras, they'll want to talk to this person if possible and do a lot of

see if there's groupings of people that perhaps, you know, talk about making fireworks, that sort of thing so the investigation is far from over. >> and, steve, this explosive created a pretty big blast. >> it did, george. that's partially what's concerning here. the u.s. military has been dealing with these so-called homemade explosives in iraq and afghanistan for over a decade where they see jihadists or insurgents doing this home brew of unstable chemicals that they turn into explosives for ieds and so the ability to make a small batch could lead to a big batch and so this is not something that's benine i think as the police are making it out to be but something we need to consider as a domestic terror incident. >> comes at such a dangerous time. everyone on the highest alert because of the spate of bombings all over the world. >> orlando, istanbul, baghdad, we have saudi arabia, so it's understandable that people are on edge and i

they'll be getting to the bottom of this fairly soon once they determine what's in the fwag. >> okay, commissioner kelly, steve ganyard, thanks very much. over to robin. >> all right, george, coming up on our big board much to discuss. nasa's groundbreaking mission to jupiter. the major mysteries they're hoping to uncover and the giant jackpot with kevin o'leary breaking down one of the largest lottery prizes in history and kevin durant's free agent move shaking up the nba getting backlash from fans. we'll be back with all that and a whole bunch more, two minutes.

welcome back. time for the big board and our team of insiders are here to take on today's top stories. nothing bigger than this. nasa pulling off an epic maneuver to get its juno spacecraft into orbit around jupiter. joining us is mike massimino. former nasa astronaut and professor of engineering at

oh, look at that big smile. everybody is smiling. anybody involved with nasa and loving rocket science. let me tell you this, five year, five years it took, talk about the difficulty and what this means today what we're seeing. >> yeah, thanks, i think there's a lot of smiles around nasa. five years, two of those year, the first two years the spacecraft was around the inner solar system, came back to earth to use earth as a slingshot to propel it toward jupiter and now it slowed down and was captured by jupiter's gravity and can do its science. >> what will we find out? it will spend 20 months out there before it destroys itself. what is everyone hoping to find out from the mission? >> well, i hope it will answer big questions here. now the science begins. before the science could begin we had to have the engineering miracles. those occurred so it's in position to make its discoveries and big questions they're looking at by studying jupiter

solar system, by understanding its composition and atmosphere we can understand how the solar system formed and how we got here so science answers a lot of questions, it's answered a lot of questions but the really big ones like where did we come from, how did we get here, how did life form here can be answered by studying jupiter. that's what they're hoping to find out. >> i love that we can feel your excite many, mike. so but also talk about the ultimate -- >> it's big. >> i know it's big but the ultimate fate here. if my science class serves me right, 60 moons around jupiter and is there concern about it may damage one of the moons, may contaminate one of them? >> yeah, jupiter's gigantic, biggest planet in our solar system. that's why the spacecraft has to go so fast to be able to stay in or not and not get pulled in by its gravity but what they want to do, enter the atmosphere and burn up. space junk is not a good thing. if you look at our

been polluting the space around it with lots of stuff and can cause a hazard for other spacecraft but around jupiter they don't want to damage that. it's pristine and don't want to damage anything or being where we don't want it so the best course of action is when it's done with its mission it won't return any more science, have it enter the atmosphere and burn it up and get it out of the way. >> now to lottery fever sweeping the nation. mega millions and jackpot, $449 million. probably could climb by the end of the day. let's talk to kevin o'leary of "shark tank" about all that. kevin, i know you say the best advice take the lump sum payout but under what circumstances would it make sense for someone to take the annuity year by year payouts. >> it never makes sense because you're taking on the risk of a state going bankrupt. a multistate lottery but look at the situation of puerto rico to realize could it

it's not a federal guarantee but a state guarantee. always better to take that risk out of the equation and take all the cash up front. what's wrong with cash? nothing. >> i don't think so, yeah, right. >> we asked barbara and you know barbara corcoran. we asked your fellow "shark". she said plunk it all down in a checking account and put everything in a checking account because you got to have some time to kind of get your feet underneath you. i don't know if you totally agree with that. what should you do if you have that lump sum? >> i never agree with anything barbara says, ever and here's again another situation. what -- you should take this amount and split it into three and put it across three different financial institutions. we also learn that the financial crisis '07/'08 some banks went away, lehman, bear stearns sewn i would recommend putting it into three institutions. today for cash you make about

not a lot we're at historic lows but get some kind of interest in a money center bank. that would generate about $600,000 after tax, not a lot but it's better than nothing. >> it is better than nothing. you got that right, kevin. always good to see you. >> the definition of a high class problem, right. >> #highclassproblem. you got that right. you know who won the lottery, golden state. in the nba free agency they picked up none other than kevin durant setting off his own fireworks july 4th announcing he's leaving oklahoma city and seeping with the warriors. the former mvp joining the current one for more. bruce, where is the bow tie? you usually sport a tie. you got stubble and black shirt. >> don't judge me. i'm out here in san francisco enjoying myself. i hear the stuff about the spacecraft and jupiter. i hear about the mega millions and n w

the bay area. that is fantastic. robin, you know people are wondering, well, is this the best team ever put together now? well, slowly roll. we got the '86 lakers and '96 bulls. you have to deal with them and won championships. until you win a championship you can't be considered as one of the greatest teams assembled? i'm with you. >> everyone happy out there in the bay area, bruce. not so much in oklahoma city. of course, kevin has been with the thunder his entire career facing any kind of a backlash? >> well, you know what, we've seen this with lebron james when he chose to leave and go to south beach but you know what, we got to get something new and creative. when karl malone left utah after playing 19 seasons no one said a word then lebron james leaves, people want to burn jerseys. you're burning up money. what you need to do is put out a heartfelt thank you because we have one of the guys as one of the best in the

scoring champ and spent nine wonderful seasons and now he's looking to do what's best for himself. you can't look back in yesteryears and say, you know what, i wonder if i would have went there and see what would have happened because he's in his prime right now and get himself what lebron has or fast as championships. >> all right, bruce bowen. tell it like it is. he's a great guy. he really is and so is steph so two really great guys on and off the court joining forces. we'll see -- no guarantees. life in basketball. >> none at all. you know that, robin. >> no guarantee we would make it to jupiter but we did, mike. we did and no guarantees about the lottery. who knows what's going to happen. kevin, bringing it all together, gentlemen. thank you three for being with us. coming up, the hottest player at wimbledon, the american who took down the best player in the world, our hot shot is joining us live next.

they gave me their son to mentor, you got to mentorship is so funny because if you don't have anybody to pour back into what's been poured into you then it's null and void as to what you're receiving. you got to give back what you're receiving so it was pretty amazing to have them and then the next chapter were different incredible directors, spike lee included all the way to a lot of female directors because i love working with women. i think they're strong and led me to courtney and courtney and curtis was the second pair or the third pairing of the mom and pops and they have me here now. >> you've had a lot of -- ? a lot of angels. >> you have a lot of fans too. somebody from the bronx, i forgot. somebody from the bronx that wants to ask a question. dominica. >> good morning, america and dominique. >> hi. >> how are you doing. >> what's your question? >> well, since you guys have really great chemistry, how did you meet? >> the

now to the mother/daughter writing duo making chick wit, a literary phenomenon knoll. lisa scottoline and her daughter francesca serritella are out with a great new summer read and abc's deborah roberts sat down with them to hear all about it. >> reporter: what do you get when you combine an english major turned lawyer turned single mom with her harvard educated daughter. a successful laugh out loud funny writing team.

best-selling crime novelist and francesca serritella. together this close-knit duo has written seven books largely inspired by their chick wit columns in "the philadelphia inquirer" just in time for beach reading their newest "i've got sand in all the wrong places," a collection of the humorous, sometimes poignant moments in their lives. >> what's the secret between the two of you. mother and daughter but you get along in a nice way. maybe just for a few minutes. >> love, love is the answer. >> i'm an only child. she's a single mother. for much of my upbringing so that comes naturally and doesn't mean it's always smooth sailing. >> reporter: but it looks smooth maybe because they've weathered tough times together. lisa divorced soon after francesca's birth but longing to stay home with her baby decided to put her english major to work. >> you started off as a lawyer. what led you to even think you could write books. >> i just started to try and after five years of rejection, really

got published. >> not just published you took off. were you shocked. >> shocked? i'm shocked every day. i feel lucky every day. no joke really. blessed, lucky, amazed. >> reporter: the two are a mutual admiration society. francesca grate full for life lessons her mom offered. >> she built it slowly and i got to see that perseverance and her work ethic and see her push through like she said initial struggling with getting published and to see failure is an event, not a definition to keep on moving forward. >> reporter: the human family includes only mom and daughter. but -- >> why do you think we have so many dogs trying to fill in all the blanks. >> reporter: and chickens and horses. lisa loves and nurtures them all but first and foremost comes the writing which the two do every day. lisa on her farm just outside philadelphia and francesca at her home in new york city. >> you don't have the luxury of -- >> how writers actually sold that to people as a thing. ifou

what you're -- i don't want to come into work today and i don't even really know why. >> reporter: in fact lisa's life is all about writing and reading. the books, oh, the books. this is amazing, though. i feel so lucky how life book, i'm in a book sometimes i think and i kind of am. it doesn't get better than that. >> reporter: for "good morning america," deborah roberts, abc news, malvern, pennsylvania. >> from moms and daughters to dads and daughters, daddydos, a celebrity stylist here showing dads how to style their kid's hair. this should be good, t.j. over the next 40 years, the united states population this should be good, t.j. is going to grow by over 90 million people and almost all that growth is going to be in cities. what's the healthiest and best way for them to grow

of opportunity? what we have found is that if that family is moved into safe, clean, affordable housing, places that have access to great school systems, access to jobs and multiple transportation modes then the neighborhood begins to thrive and really, really take off. the oxygen of community redevelopment is financing. and all this rebuilding that happened could not have happened without organizations like citi. and citi has formed a partnership with our company so that we can take all the lessons from the revitalization of urban america to other cities, so we are now working in chicago and in washington d.c. and newark. its amazing how important safe, affordable housing is to the future of our society.

oh, i love this back with celebrity hairstylist dean banowetz and he wrote "the dean's list of daddydos." thanks for being here, dean. when i saw this book i thought about the years of my dad putting my hair on the back of

comb because it catches on everything, right? >> want to try it. >> sabine, can i ask you a question while daddy is doing your hair? who does your hair better, mommy or daddy? >> mommy. >> she said mommy. >> oh, busted. >> she said daddy earlier. >> but she is a politician in the making. good answer, sabine. >> you can use a chopstick or do a lot of different things. if you want to get really creative, you can take and you can actually like you're writing a little zigzag letter and you can just pull that hair through and you can see this really great zigzag part that's happening right there. >> we'll work on this. >> perfect. >> absolutely. >> shall we move on. >> you stick with that. ava is here. you'll teach dad how to braid. >> the best thing to learn -- i like to use cables on the back of the tv. take a whole. they're three. color coated. red, yellow and white, you take the yellow and cross the red and

braid. this is great to use when your daughter is not around. you don't want to mess up the first time you do her hair. there's yarn that can help you practice, a little softer textile. it matches the texture of the hair. >> you want to go for it. >> sure. >> let's split this in three sections. >> and i always talk to people right over left then left to the center. >> how often do you do her hair? >> not often. not often. >> he's getting the practice in now. >> that's great. in and you've got it. >> now when you're doing a ballerina bun you just twist the hair like it's rope and start to wrap it around itself like this. you can keep twisting, keep twisting and a lot of dads don't know the difference between a hairpin and a hairpin and bobby pin and just take this. >> nice. >> and you just anchor it through and crisscross it underneath the ponytail and knock it out. >> easy enough, brad. >> daddi

>> yes. >> he totally can. >> thank you, guys. thank you very much. dean. >> a braid over here, too. >> of course. >> it is looking great. >> we'll be right back. >> look. so good. >> good job. man: hey baby, how are you? woman: i have a surprise for you. man: you have a surprise for me? narrator: at dominion, 1 in 5 new hires is a veteran. and when they're away, they miss out on a lot. but they won't miss out on financial support. because we cover any difference between their military pay and their dominion salary, and continue benefits for them and their families. why do we do it? because our vets sacrifice enough.
