After 12 years together and just two years married are you out of your mind . What is wrong with you . Youre whats 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 Abcs Steve Osunsami is in charlotte now where they had a violent and chaotic night. Steve. Reporter good morning, robin. Even at this hour, theres 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 night, 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 africanamerican 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 43yearold keith lamont scott. He said, hands up standing on the truck. Thats it. Pow, pow, pow, pow, pow. He aint got a gun. Reporter he wasnt 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 posted 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 africanamerican. Its 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. Shes screaming at him, stop, stop, stop. He walks up to the window, faces the suv and then looks at her and then his left hand goes into the car window and thats when she fired her shot. Shots fired. Reporter but attorneys for crutchers family tell a different story and say the video shows theres 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 citys black police chief and mayor are promising a thorough and complete investigation, and they are asking for calm. Were 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 africanamerican 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 days before the charlotte shooting, that chilling video of the man in tulsa, shot after holding his hands in the air unarmed. These have left many in the africanamerican 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 shootouts is up dramatically, so many officers are concerned for their own safety and believe the black lives matter issue is overblown. If the police didnt 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 Africanamerican Community will simply accept the position of the police and thats 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 determine whether the victim was armed. 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 hes donated more than 100 million to charity. But hes 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 wasnt out of his pocket. Donald trump is always pointing the finger at systems he calls corrupt and rigged. But now its trumps 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 selfdealing. In one case, trump racked up a 120,000 fine at his maralago 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. Lets make very clear to the viewers, a Veterans Charity received 100,000 because of that, and im sure they benefitted from it. Reporter just last night, trump bragged about a tactic he uses in his businesses, called opm. Other peoples money. Reporter a way he can spend without using his money in some cases. I do that all the time in business. Called other peoples money. Theres nothing like doing things with other peoples money. Reporter but did trump do the same thing with his foundation . The billionaire candidate is accused of buying art with the Foundation Money. In 2014, allegedly spending 10,000 of the foundations cash on this portrait of himself seen here on tripadvisors website. The foundations 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 foundations money at a Charity Auction to buy a helmet signed by tim tebow. One candidates Family Foundation has saved countless lives around the world. The other candidates foundation took money other people gave to his charity and then bought a sixfoottall 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 floridas attorney general, pam bondi, for 25,000 at the time bondi was considering investigating trump university. She never did. Bondi says she would Never Exchange favors for donations. George. Okay, tom, thanks very much. Lets 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 theyre already going to have an impact. I think its exceedingly problematic for donald trump and his campaign. They have been making an argument for two or three months against the clintons on their foundation. Now its almost as if al capone is accusing bonnie and clyde of being crooked and youre in a position where you cant do that anymore so i think its already beginning to undercut them. In the meantime, this comes up before the first debate monday night. The stakes could not be higher. Youll 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 president ial candidates for debates like this. I think in this case with that kind of an audience, both of thome would have the same strategy if possible, be as positive as you can . They will try that, but its 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 its a super bowl sized event. You think Hillary Clinton is under more pressure to go on offense, to go on the attack. Shes been dwindling in the polls. The polls have closed over the last two weeks. She has to actually force the issue on donald trump. If donald trump doesnt do anything in this debate, he wins, so she has to force the attack. The prep couldnt be more different. Hillary clinton tapering off the next six days fullblown debate prep. Donald trump meeting with his advisers around the table, throwing questions back and forth. I think Hillary Clintons really smart about this, because if you look at the moments left in this campaign, theres four. Three president ial debates and one Vice President ial debate and those are the most important things left. Its not three rallies around country. I think taking time off resting is the best strategy in this. The moment on monday could not be bigger. 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. Abcs 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 jihadist leaders to attack nonbelievers 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. And the complaint also describes two of rahamis favorite videos on youtube as jihadi anthems including this one. The charges come the day after rahamis 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 investigation at that point, i would have asked, why are we not doing it . Reporter the fathers allegations followed his sons 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 in june around the very time Officials Say her husband began to build his bombs. This morning, officials confirm rahamis 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 fbis looking to talk to other relatives as well in the complaint, Officials Say rahami is recorded on a Family Members 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. Thats the issue there. All right, brian, thank you very much. All right, everybody, take a look at this massive blaze. One of the wildfires thats 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 its 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 getting better. Look at this video in california. This is in newhall, california where they had to shut down parts of i5 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. Its not looking great, george. Okay. Thanks very much. We on now to outrage over epipens, mylans ceo on the hot seat facing tough questions from congress over whether her mom was improperly promoting the product. Abcs 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 lifesaving shot. This morning, embattled mylan pharmaceutical ceo, Heather Bresch facing new questions about the role her mother played in promoting her companys blockbuster product. You should always carry two epipen autoinjectors whenever you go. Reporter mylan under fire for raising the price of the lifesaving 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 breschs mother, gayle manchin, the former head of a powerful National Education group, led an unprecedented effort encouraging states to require schools to purchase 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 mylans school contracts for alleged anticompetitive business practices. Breschs family ties have been called into question already. Her father is West Virginia senator, joe manchin. We caught up with him recently. Are you satisfied with mylans response to the outrage over epipen pricing . But he declined to answer our questions. Im happy to speak about that later. Reporter and senator manchin is not commenting directly on his wifes 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 todays other top stories starting with a mystery near San Francisco. Thats 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 well 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. The largest pipeline in the country is resuming operation today thanks to a new bypass line. A recent leak in alabama caused two weeks of disruptions leading to gas shortages in several southeastern states. Well, the United States now blames russia for attacking a con vicarryivoy carrying muchd convoy carrying much needed humanitarian aid in syria. 20 people were killed. The u. N. Has stopped all such deliveries. Four aid workers died in a separate attack. The board of directors at wells fargo will now decide whether to punish ceo john stumpf after he was grilled on capitol hill for the banks massive account fraud. Senator Elizabeth Warren demanded stumpf resign and accused him of gutless leadership for blaming junior employees. Stumpf apologized for the fake accounts but acknowledged no executives were fired. How about good news . How about a mothers love on display . Take a look at what happened during the Baltimore Orioles game when player, trey mancini, made his major league debut. Yep. Its going, its going, and its gone. Even better, look at his moms reaction there in the stands. You know, they later got the ball, gave it to mom as a souvenir but think about this.

So many questions this morning about what went wrong and what it means for the couples six children. Abcs matt gutman is in los angeles with new details about 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 hasnt directly addressed the rumors of what separated them, both issued statements about what still unites them. The wellbeing of their kids. In the two films in which they starred together, mr. And mrs. Smith then by the sea. Stop stop. Reporter Angelina Jolie and brad pitt portray couples more cruel than caring. Anybody who is married or in a longterm relationship knows this, that you cannot just keep things in, and you cant 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 11page 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 couples six children petitioning her soontobe 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, im very saddened by this, but what matters most now is the wellbeing of our kids. The new surprising family. Sad time and im concerned about the kids. Reporter and catching famous friends off guard. I didnt know that. Thats i feel very sorry then, and thats 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 havent finished yet. Reporter while pitt was still married to Jennifer Aniston, and then pitt, eventually adopting jolies children, and expanding the family and finally tieing the knot at the behest of the kids. My kids dont even know what i do. I want them to say dad was pretty cool. Reporter recently the couples 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 woman to brad and then my work. Reporter its 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 doesnt mention how they would split up their fortune, including their french chateau and homes in new york, hollywood and new orleans. Robin . Well bring in peoples 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 . Hes incredibly sad. Hes heartbroken. But for an interesting more nuanced reason than i think a lot think. The fact is he knew this relationship was ending. 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 shes 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 earlier, im not a legal expert, but from where i sit, those are fighting words. Thats an opening salvo right there, and it really was an intense way to kick off something that i think at least from brads camp, it had been hoped this wouldnt be a battle. Any idea why she has filed . Why shes asking for divorce. I think its fair to say in these ongoing discussions, in the issues theyve been grappling with, clearly, one of both of the them reached some sort of a breaking point, and it wasnt 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 wouldnt 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. Shes saying lets 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. Thats not easy to get, right . 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 wouldnt that move pore tors a settlement than going to court . Always, always, particularly in a highprofile case like this. And im 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. Theyre 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. Coming up on our big board, well have that big story about fitness trackers and see if they actually work, and lunchshaming backlash. A cafeteria worker resigning after shes forced to take away a students hot meal because his parents werent paying. Our insiders join us in two minutes. There they are. Minutes. There they are.

Our team of insiders standing by live for more on this mornings top stories. Jennifer ashton ran to the table pulling a hammy to do it. Well get to her story in a moment. Were 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. Abcs 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 its not all that surprising. Donald trump brutalized former president bushs 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, youll remember, of course, by bill clinton in 1992 saying not only cant he not support trump but hes going to vote for the democrat. Its pretty shocking. But, jon, even if he does do that, does it really sway people who traditionally maybe vote republican and say, well, hes doing it so ill do it too . Yeah, i dont think theres 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 unwilling to vote for donald trump. Its a pretty big step. I dont think this is going to move a lot of votes, but it cant help. How about the debate on monday . Thats going to be huge, isnt 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. Im 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 students hot meal because the childs parents owed more than 25. Yeah, unbelievable stuff. Heres what she had to say. I didnt say anything. You know, i just put the cheese sandwich on his tray and he just thats when he just looked and his eyes welled up. Ill never forget the little boy ill never forget his eyes welling up with tears. 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 schools 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 automatically get the hot lunch, but according to financial guidelines, if your family can afford to pay then you need to pay and if you cant, then you get the bread and the cheese. But the problem is, thats 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 thats wrong. You never want to put the kid in the middle. Its awkward and uncomfortable. You cant put the kid in the middle sitting with dr. Jen ashton, a nutritionist as well. We all know a healthy meal is vital, vital to a child and for education. Its extremely important because if kids or even you if youre hungry youre 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 theres good food there youre 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 theyre nutrition and healthy and kids are happy and can focus. Thats what we need in our country. Were the worlds number one economy, number one military, number one infrastructure and we cant provide kids wonderful lunches at school . Its a crisis. Come on. I know, but to come on yall 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 cant serve it to another student anyway. They throw it away. It makes absolutely no sense. Next to fitness trackers and 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. Heres the lowdown. This is where most of the media headlines on this study got it wrong. We are getting it right here. They didnt find that the wearable devices didnt work. They put this group wearing the wearables headtohead 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, its 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.

You remember when this game first came out i did a story right here about the immediate safety concerns that Law Enforcement had about it. Over the past couple of months sure enough we have seen and heard so many stories about those concerns playing out. Yes, this time were actually seeing it play out violently on camera. Just a lazy pokemon player. Reporter a disturbing new video shows a man livestreaming himself playing pokemon go, but ends up capturing his own mugging near central park. No, no, no, no, please. Take it off. Reporter the attack happened right after midnight monday, while 43yearold rickey was searching for pokemons. The attacker sneaks up on him then pounces. Please, please. Reporter the mugger then takes off with the three cell phones yaneza was using to play. He believes he was targeted because he frequents the park with other pokemon players. Okay, im alive. Thats all that matters really. Reporter the incident raises even more safety concerns about the pokemon go craze.

We begin with new details about the shooting in charlotte, North Carolina that sparked violent protests overnight. 16 officers injured after the blocked roadways and they set fires. Police used flash grenades to disperse them. Police shot keith scott after they claim he had a gun. His family said he had a book and not a gun, and the officers recovered a gun, and not a book at the scene. The officers gave loud, verbal commands and they instructed the subject once he got out of the vehicle to drop the weapon. Mr. Scott exited his vehicle armed with a handgun as the officers continued to yell at him to drop it. He stepped out, posing a threat to the officers. The officer who shot scott is africanamerican and on leave. They are calling for a boycott of the local economy to protest police there. In tulsa, oklahoma, protesters are demanding that the officer that shot an unarmed black man be fired. Betty shelby shot terance crutch crutcher because he supposedly reached into a window, but the family says the window was closed. And also charges with mass direction. Ahmad rahami planned the attacks for months, and bought citric acid on ebay. His journal shows he was inspired by osama bin laden, and his father says he warned the fbi two years ago, but his father recanted and so rahami was never questioned. Donald Trumps Campaign is denying allegations he broke the law by taking money from his charity. He donated nearly 250,000 for legal disputes.

[diggy by spencer ludwig] what cao mean back now with more on brad pitt and Angelina Jolie, the two announcing their split. After 12 years together, two years of marriage, six children, the power couple is getting divorced and heres a look back at their relationship. Brad. Reporter their love story began on set starring in the blockbuster mr. And mrs. Smith while brad pitt was married to Jennifer Aniston. What is wrong with you . Youre whats wrong with me. Reporter swirling speculation about an onset romance created a tabloid meltdown. In march of that year, aniston filed for divorce. At the time, brad pitt denying to diane sawyer that his relationship with Angelina Jolie was to blame. Did Angelina Jolie break up your marriage . No. Everyone says shes a home wrecker. Thats a good story. Reporter just a few months later, the pair went public, posing for the cover of w magazine depicting themselves as a happy couple with kids. Jolie who was already a mom to adopted son maddox later adopted zahara from ethiopia and in 2009 the couple had their first biological child, shiloh. By 2008, the couple of adopted second son, pax, and gave birth to twins, vivienne and knocks. Knox. I wake up every day, you know, just the happiest mommy and im 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 her name legally to joliepitt. It was an amazing day and i think theres an added security that comes with it. You know my reason. Reporter the couples last film together, 2015s by the sea directed by jolie depicted a husband and wife with their marriage on the rocks. Resist happiness. Dont quote some book you dont resist happiness. Reporter turning out to be a foreshadowing for hollywoods most glamorous couple. So here to get into it is larry hackett, the former editor of People Magazine. You covered them for years and years. Did you think it was very different priorities . I dont think it was very different priorities. There is a way that celebrities break up. Usually its a joint statement together, we love each other but were going our separate ways which is what brad pitt and Jennifer Aniston did. That didnt 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, im doing it for the health of the family, that is a cannon shot what do they mean . Better be careful whats coming next is what theyre saying. We better settle this and asking for sole custody of six children. Thats not a good sign. Out of the gate. Thats to the press. Can you imagine whats going on privately and then he said this is all about the kids which is his code for saying im not going to give up without a fight. It means im im going to fight for my kids. Absolutely. I dont 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 burnished by being together. 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 its 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 his thing. You know, hollywood is a very forgiving place in the community. On the other hand i dont 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 lets 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.

And we are back now with that big debate, Samantha Ettus, bestselling author stirring it up a working mom of three stirring up this debate in her new book the pie life. Because she writes the 29 of mothers who do not work outside the home, she says they are making a mistake. S and samantha is going to be joining us live in a moment. First heres a look at her philosophy. You can say weird stayathome mom. Reporter in bad moms ,stayathome moms try to mask dissatisfaction. Im very happy. Reporter and in the new book the pie life, bestselling 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 workforce, who is left 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. And the pie life author Samantha Ettus joins us now. You have caused, well, lets say a discussion, a lively discussion. That would be fair to say in thats 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 youre a stayathome mom that youre not happy. Thats a big debate there, samantha. Youve 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 its the same thing. If youre 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, dont 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. Im saying lets get to this place where enjoying a full life again. 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 shouldnt be saying, ill save friends for later on in life. Im saying go on the moms night out and do it guiltfree. Youll be a better parent, a better worker, better partner, better friend if youre happier and more fulfilled. What do you say to those moms that say there arent enough hours in the day for all that . I know. I like when moms tell me that because one of the things i share, theres a lot of tricks to getting what i call a 25th hour in your day. A lot of ways to manage your life. Whether its i call it the golden triangle. Do all of your errands between work and home and your childs school. You know, there is a hair salon or gym or doctor in between those points and you can find one. So theres a lot of tricks like that that just make your life easier and better. Apply to stayathome dads as well. We have been talk about stay at home moms, but dads as well. Its important that we keep a foot in the workforce. The statistical reality more than 50 of women who take time off from the workforce cant go back. They cant find positions. So im 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 dont have to guess. Hes right here. Mark wahlberg. Its 8 27. Good morning. Look at the sky 7 catches the moment that the u. S.

I got something good drink some coffee. Yes. We learned that butters you up. There you go. Warm you up a little bit. We got something really good im interested to get everybodys take on especially its about music and about dating. And we teased it a little bit earlier in the show. It is about tinder and spotify, tinder teaming up with spotify to put an account together so when you go on tinder, you can listen to your potential persons playlist of music of what they like. So you know whether to swipe left or swipe right based on the music. I guess its just another way for you to get a handle on whether youre simpatico. Do you think i dont think thats enough. Thats not enough for you . No, thats not enough. Not enough to like the same music. No. You know what how about this, im going to play this song, and i want the audience, everybody to see if they would swipe right on this song or left. Play this song, please. Lets get it on oh, yes. All right. Who would swipe right . [ cheers and applause ] baby you know what youre looking for if you swipe right. You know what youre looking for if youre on tinder anyway so, yeah. Good point. That is actually somebody at the desks song. Who do we think that song belongs to . I think that is lara spencers song. I do. Listen it has you written all over it. Lara, is that your song . Its 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 dont just want to know sounds like barry white. Again. Swipe left. Who would swipe right . [ cheers and applause ] 2 for 2. Were 2 for 2. Hes back there yelling, right hes like sign me up right now, man. Wow. Whose song was that . That was my song. Its 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. Im curious, mark, what is your song . I the only music i really listen to right now is adele. And everybody thinks well, i have a few albums on my i have a jayz 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 im always listening when im traveling and it relaxes me and makes me feel comfortable. People think im, you know, a wimp because of it, but i dont care. I absolutely love it. Ive listened to that 21 album probably 21 million times. I have a feeling, though, if someone is looking at your tinder profile and it is you, they dont care what youre listening to, theyre swiping right. Thankfully i dont have to be on tinder. I have a beautiful wife at home. Lets 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 and it goes far beyond. 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 arent 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. It means a lot. Means a lot. You play somebody who was fighting for their lives and wanted to get back home to their families. Heres 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, hes 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 hes 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 wanted to make sure that 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, im 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 youve got to try to make it as realistic as possible. Things got really sketchy when they lit me and dylan obrien on fire here. You can see they lit us on fire and i didnt 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, im on fire. Action. Yeah. [ applause ] how was the lovely kate . Shes fantastic. The great thing about the cast is i experienced it in lone survivor when youre making a movie like this, its 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, shes kind of the anchor, emotional anchor of the movie and from the audiences 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, that was what really inspired me 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 . [ cheers and applause ] all right. This is great. We have mark here. We have Kiefer Sutherland coming up and Sofia Vergara all we had to think a little more seriously about saving money for the future and for the kids and for their college funds. We thought, well this airbnb is actually a great way to pay those extra bills. Every bit of extra money helps these days. We have a Retirement Fund of our own and i take a draw on it. I dont want to take too much either because i dont know what life is going to bring to me. I get to keep 97 of my rental price. The extra income i get from airbnb has been a huge help. Airbnb has helped me so much financially especially starting my own business. San francisco is such an expensive place to live. The way people work and travel is changing. The guests are now able to stay longer, stay five days, enjoy another day in San Francisco and spend more money in the neighborhood. My guests are able to extend their stay and spend more money on activities and restaurants. The extra income that i get from airbnb has been a huge impact in my life. In 1803, a man bought the territory of louisiana for 42 cents an acre. That was the greatest deal ever. Until i made this one. Now you can get my jumbo breakfast platter for just 2. 99. Take that history. Scrambled eggs, eight mini pancakes, a hash brown, and your choice of bacon or sausage. Its the greatest deal since the louisiana purchase. Sort of. The jumbo breakfast platter just 2. 99 for a limited time. Value, done my way. We are back here with Kiefer Sutherland. He stars in abcs new show designated survivor. You know, thats the name of the cabinet member left home during the state of the union just in case disaster strikes and in this show the capitol creates an instant president with Big Decisions to make. What do you want me to do, general, declare war . Why not. 40 minutes ago they showed me the nuclear football. I guess ive had it long enough to try it out. [ cheers and applause ] Kiefer Sutherland here. In february you said you were so excited about this project because its so well written. Boy, i saw this pilot. It is a powerful, powerful show and the most unlikely scenario. Well, what having done ten years in television before on a show called 24, which was one of the great experiences of my lifetime, i certainly [ applause ] thank you very much. I saw how easy it was to paint yourself in a corner with regards to story. And david guggenheim, who wrote this, designated survivor, tells three beautiful story lines at the same time. One is a family drama, which is what happens to a family if overnight they move into the white house and the restraints of that for their children, et cetera. The political aspect of how do you stabilize the country after a terrible attack like that, not only domestically but at least perceptually on an International Level and then ultimately the thrilling aspect of the show, which is the investigation into the attack and what is the appropriate response. There are so many things to talk about, whether its whether its domestic policy and all of the things that need to be talked about within this country, again, the family drama, et cetera, so its something that i hope we get the opportunity to do for awhile. And you get all the big things right and get the Little Things right, as well. We saw kal penn right there. He could bring some white house experience. Hes amazing and told me about his story, kal penn obviously a very successful actor, got involved with president obamas campaign. The two of them became friendly and kal is an incredibly smart guy and was asked to leave acting for two years to come work at the white house and became a speech writer and a confidant of president obamas, and so literally everything from when i would walk through the two offices before i get to the oval office, he would say, well, those people wouldnt be allowed to be there so we would move them out. And so hes he keeps us honest. Meanwhile, the white house is kind of becoming a Family Affair for your family. Your daughter sarah stars in veep. They won all those emmys again the other night. Do you swap notes . No, we dont. First of all, theyre two very, very different shows, and i had a really interesting experience growing up. My parents, my mothers an actress. My father is an actor. Never talked to me really about work when i started working. They let me find my way. And my daughter has earned that, as well, and so when we get to spend time together, we talk about family. Excellent. Well, everybody is going to love this show, designated survivor. Thanks for coming on. Premieres tonight at 10 00, 9 00 central right here on abc. [ applause ] i dont know that i heard you there, george, but, hey, Kiefer Sutherland, everybody. And guess who is coming up, Sofia Vergara. And that report brought to you by colgate optic white.

A High School English teacher. I believe every child deserves the opportunity for a quality education. Reporter a stayathome mother.

Reporter and the ceo of a promising startup. My parents came here from korea to give their children a better life. What motivates me is a sense of purpose.
