This morning, growing anger over the deadly virginia protest that left one dead and 19 injured as hundreds of White Nationalists clashed with counterprotesters saturday. Turning the streets of charlottesville into a fullfledged battle zone. It all started friday night when White Supremacists stormed the university of virginias campus ahead of a protest over plans to remove a statue of robert e. Lee. Then the saturday protest they say had been coordinated with local police for months was met with opposition. The violent unrest turned deadly.

Now, fields is expect to be in court this morning as are many of the demonstrators arrested over the weekend. Robin. Eva, many noted that over the weekend during those protests that they saw Police Officers just standing by and not doing anything as the protesters clashed and so some are asking did Law Enforcement do enough. Reporter thats right, robin. Theres been a lot of criticism as to if Law Enforcement should have done more to separate the two sides. The other big question, a lot of the streets in this downtown area were supposed to be closed until 00 p. M. That day. The question this morning, did that happen . Robin. A lot of questions.

The premeditated violence our community experienced today was completely unacceptable. Reporter a key question this morning, federal authorities want to know does fields have any ties to white supremacist groups and was he directed to attack. This shows him at the rally before the tragedy standing with members of vanguard, a group described as a white supremacist organization. On sunday the group claimed fields is not a member. This as we learn more about fields, a 0yearold who lived with his mother in ohio until recently. According to the pentagon, fields attempted to join the military in august of 2015 but lasted only four months after failing to meet training standards. Some associates are now painting a disturbing picture. I hate to say it, i wasnt that surprised. Reporter one of his high schoolteachers say he idolized dictator and mass murderer adolf hitler. He felt that whites were superior. You know, we covered the rise of hitler, he would often say how, you know, hitlers views were right. You know, what if hitler had won. Reporter former classmates telling a similar story saying during an overseas trip to germany, he allegedly told students while walking through a concentration camp this is where the magic happened. He was vocal about his ideas. He proclaimed himself as a nazi and as a white supremacist. It wasnt a secret. Reporter but his mother who learned of the incident on camera. Did it hurt anybody . Reporter says she saw no evidence of racist beliefs and only had limited knowledge of his chip to charlottesville. I didnt know it was White Supremacists. I thought it had something to do with trump. I just knew he was going to a rally. I tried to stay out of his political views. Reporter those were intense. Fields drove eight hours from ohio to charlottesville and they believe they were tinged with hate and eventually murder. Thank you. Many closely watching the white houses response to the charlottesville violence, President Trump facing criticism from members of his own party for condemning hatred and violence on, quote, many sides without mentioning White Nationalists and then putting out a statement on sunday specifically condemning White Supremacists for the attack. The white house last night, hundreds gathered to show solidarity with the charlottesville victims. Lets go to our senior White House Correspondent cecilia vega for more on all this. Good morning, cecilia. Reporter robin, good morning. This is a president who is often quick to call out people and groups by name. But not in the wake of what happened in charlottesville. This morning, President Trump under fire for not going far enough. We condemn in the strongest possible terms this egregious display of hatred, bigotry and violence on many sides, on many sides. Reporter his comments following the violence in charlottesville drawing backlash from even allies in his own party. I think clearly he should talk out much more aggressively about it. Reporter under pressure the white house forced to try to clarify. An Administration Official insisting on anonymity releasing this statement saying the president condemns all forms of violence, bigotry and hatred and, of course, that includes White Supremacists, kkk, neonazi and all extremist groups. The Vice President echoing that. We have no tolerance for hate and violence from White Supremacists, neonazis or the kkk. Reporter but the president not saying those words himself. Mr. President , do you want the support of these White Nationalist groups who say they support you, mr. President . Reporter at his bedminster golf club, no comment. Have you denounced them strongly enough . I certainly think any time that you commit an attack against people to incite fear it is terrorism. Reporter and his shortlived Communications Director Anthony Scaramucci ousted after just 11 days on the job adding to the sgleet i wouldnt have recommended that statement. I think he needed to be much harsher as it related to the White Supremacists and the nature of that. Reporter now the president had promised a Big Press Conference today where you can bet this question of would he and should he be going farther on this issue of neonazis would be question number one but, robin, there is no press conference on his public schedule for today. Unclear whether there will be one. Thank you. David. Robin, thank you. Joining us is attorney general Jeff Sessions. Mr. Attorney general, thanks for being here this morning. Thank you. We did learn overnight that the Vice President has now condemned the violence in charlottesville saying we have no tolerance for hate and violence from White Supremacists, neonazis or the kkk. These dangerous fringe group, he says, has no place in america. When will we hear President Trump actually single out those groups by name . He said that yesterday, his spokesman did and his initial statement on this roundly and n unequivocally condemned hatred and violence and bigotry. He called on our people to Work Together and in community and in love and affection and not in hatred and violence. Im sure hell talk again, maybe today, on this very subject. He cares about it deeply. He as his attorney general, i understand exactly what im expected to do. Its what i will do and that is to vindicate the rule of law. You did say that the president did speak out over the weekend but he did not single out these groups by name. It was an Unnamed White House official who said that. I do want to ask you, part of his reaction was that there was hatred on many sides. On many sides he added a second time. There was Immediate Reaction from those puzzled. This was a White Nationalist rally. What sides was he talking about here . Racism, White Supremacy is totally unacceptable. I think the president talked about the problems in america in that first statement had been going on a long time. He said before donald trump before barack obama, a long time. I think thats the kind of thing he was referring to. But he was talking to the but he was he was unequivocal he was talking to the nation about a White Nationalist rally. He was talking to the nation about a White Nationalist rally and in dog so he talked about the hatred on many sides. He explicitly condemned the kind of ideology behind these movements of naziism, White Supremacy, the kkk, that is his unequivocal position. He totally opposes those kind of values and his statement yesterday again affirmed that and i think youll hear that again today. As you know, attorney general, its not just reporters like me, there are a growing number of republicans that says the president needs to be doing more, marco rubio, orrin hatch, do you agree this was domestic terror . It does meet the definition of it in our statute. We are pursuing it when the department of just cyst in every way that we can make a case. You can be sure we will charge and advance the investigation toward the most serious charges that can be brought because this is an unequivocally unacceptable and evil attack that cannot be accepted in america. So absolutely that is a factor that well be looking at. You have said the president will speak out again on this and there was Senator Cory Gardner of colorado who said this call this white supremeicism, this White Nationalism evil and let the country hear it, let the world hear it. Its something that needs to come from the oval office and this white house needs to do it today. A republican senator from colorado. Is that coming now from the president . Well, the president , i suspect, will be talking to the country again soon. Maybe today. I plan to meet with him today and the fbi today will be meeting with him to brief him on the case. He takes it exceedingly seriously and theres no doubt about it. He opposes these kind of radical racist bigotry that these organizations espouse. You talk about this as an opportunity to come together on this front. This is a president as you know who is known for his blunt talk. For a week now weve been reporting on the war of words with north korea. Many americans could likely quote that line, his warning of fire and fury. He was so clear on north korea and even as a candidate he said this to solve a problem you have to be able to state what the problem is or at least say the name. Will he say the name of these groups . Well, he will say what he believes is appropriate. I think he probably will. His spokesman already said that yesterday. I fully expect him to say it again. The initial statement he gave was within just a few hours of the event occurring and i believe it was very strong and a clear condemnation of racial bigotry and hatred and White Supremacy was certainly included in bigotry and hatred so i think the president will be there. He is a strong leader. Hes an outspoken leader. He expresses himself in clear and blunt terms and the American People elected him. I think that was one of the things they liked about him. And i think hell be honest and direct with the American People as soon as he talks to them again. We are. We are thinking about those two families of the state trooper and that mother of that young woman who was killed this morning. Mr. Attorney general, thank you for being here. Thank you, david. Cannot forget those family was are in mourning here this morning. But, again, you said it and even Jeff Sessions said it. The president has always been very clear and very blunt. He has not been to this point and its just inexcusable to many he hasnt. The question is if and when. Well, one thing that has been clear is the social media reaction to the attack. It has created the endofhate. The top trend, so many people speaking out against hate and violence and some are even trying to use social media to shame some of those marchers. Linsey davis has been tracking it all. Good morning. Reporter images of those protesters over the weekend have gone viral and a twitter account called yes, youre racist is trying to serve what it calls justice by asking the internet to identify and expose those who participated in the violent demonstrations on behalf of online hate groups. The account quickly found and outed some of the attendees and took responsibility for one man losing his job and another had to call in to his local news station to defend himself. However, one professor was mistakenly identified as a man at the rally. Forcing the man to defend his location over the weekend. But there have also been some unifying tweets as well. Former president barack obama shared quotes from Nelson Mandela after the clashes in charlottesville saying that no one is born hating another person because of the color of their skin or his background or his religion. People must learn to hate and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite. Michael.

After more than a decade Scott Peterson is breaking his silence on everything from his guilty verdict to why he kept calling his mistress even after his wife disappeared. Its just one of many interviews featured in this series aimed at shedding a whole new light on a case we thought we knew. I was staggered by it. I had no idea it was coming.

Reporter a ref dags peterson discusses in a 2004 audiotape that was never released until now. Why did you talk to amber after laci had gone missing . The overriding reason throughout it all was she starts giving media interview, there is no more search for laci and conner. Id just seen what happened to the search for chandra levy. There was no more search for her. Every hour i could buy to keep the search going is all solved if i bring laci and conner home. Reporter the effect the media had on the case and evidence potentially overlooked like witnesses who claim to have seen laci after she went missing. Can you give us any examples of moments people might notice that may change their minds . I think when you listen to the witnesses who said they saw laci in the park that would be a kind of surprise. I wasnt the last one to see laci that day. There were so many witnesses that saw her walking in the neighborhood after i left. Reporter still producers say this is not an exoneration piece and that they look at all sides of the case. What are you hoping to accomplish with this series . I want people to say, what actually happened here. The documentary series the murder of Laci Peterson premieres tomorrow night on a e.

Abcs gio benitez is on the beach in asbury park, new jersey, with more. Good morning, gio. Reporter michael, good morning to you. Were talking about massive dunes created to protect and restore beaches. But now with so many drownings this summer especially right here on the jersey shore at least one lifeguard wonders if those dunes are causing rougher surf. Theyre the videos we seem to be seeing more and more of, strangers jumping into action pulling struggling beachgoers out of the ocean. Rip currents partially to blame for at least 59 deaths this summer alone. And they seem to be happening on every coast with recent deaths in louisiana, alabama and here in new jersey. Six rip currentrelated eddies in just the past two months alone, that number is usually 1 to 3 per year. In july 80 strangers came together to form a human chain saving the lives of ten people swept out by vicious rip currents. I have never seen anything like it in my entire life because without them i wouldnt have my family. Reporter this morning new questions about what could be causing all those rough waters. A lifeguard of 50 years on the jersey shore telling the New York Post he thinks beach replenishment programs which refill sand dunes to protect the shore are doing what theyre intended to do but he thinks they can also create more rip currents. While noaa agrees manmade jetties and piers can create hot boxes areas where swimmers are particularly at risk, what really affects the currents are waves, wind, tides and the shape of the ocean floor. The u. S. Army corps of engineers which builds those dunes saying beachfill projects neither create nor worsen rip currents. Rip currents are going to occur with equal frequency in either a natural or completely manmade beach. Reporter nearly 100 people die in rip currents every year in the u. S. , with more than 68,000 rip current rescues last year alone. One important technique to get out of one. Instead of swimly directly to shore well swim diagonally. Now i can feel sand and thats it. Im out of it. Just because i swam diagonally instead of directly toward the shore. As we take a look at the beaches of asbury park, new jersey, a few tips for you. Officials say dont get in the water after dark when lifeguards leave and watch for those red and yellow warning flags, august happens to be the deadliest month for rip currents. Michael.

[ applause ] yeah, were going to talk about that with jen because, you know, you got to be careful. You cant just look directly at it and so people are very concerned about this. And because you could injure your eyes. Its a highly anticipated event. Itll take place oregon, south carolina, you have to use special glasses to avoid serious damage to your eyes and dr. Ashton is here with to help us find sure that we make the right ones. So thank you for that. A lot are excited about it. Theres a lot of concern and amazon is out in front of it. The risk is damage or potentially loss of your vision. The danger is very real. And if you think about it, its because on a normal day no eclipse you look at the sun for a few seconds. Its too bright. You cant stare at it but in a partial Solar Eclipse you can be lulled that you can look for longer than normal. Even some minutes and really do damage so amazon very, very concerned. This he put out this statement overnight saying we ask thirdparty sellers that were offering Solar Eclipse glasses to provide actual documentation to verify their products were compliant with relevant safety standards. Sellers who did not provide the appropriate documentation have been removed and customers who purchased from them were notified last week and theyve amazon also even offered to issue refunds to many so of those customers who purchased these. Counterfeits out there. How does that affect your eyes. Lets go to medicine and science of the eye a little bit 101. If you think of the eye like a big magnifying glass its job is to take that light and registers it in the back of the eye and magnifies an image we see. When it can be burned which is a condition called solar retinopathy. These are burns on the back of the retina, that little yellow dot there is a burn that can cause permanent damage and that might not give you any pain because there are no pain sensors in the back of the retina. All you would see is blurred vision a couple hours later. Last night i spoke to dr. Jack dugan. He said they are very concerned that people are going to either use the wrong glasses or look up at the sun and do some real damage. Arent some hospitals giving out some glasses. They are. They are. You thought we were doing a scene from scandal and i would interrogate you here. I want to just show you. Here we go. Youll answer everything i ask you. So these are counterfeit. These are real. I want you to pick up these on the side. This is a pair here. A real one. Now, this is the way that you can tell if youre using real glasses when you put them on first of all lets say in your kitchen, everything should look black, right. Everything is black. Nothing should get through. If you look at lets say a 60 or 100watt bulb. Do you see that film. You can look at it. Thats how you know these are real. Weird. Yes. Look into the light, robin. The light bullbe. When you see the filament you know you need to use an unfrosted bulb. These are real and i might go to charleston to see the eclipse. Why dont i just wear my sunglasses. It doesnt block the uv rays and there are no pain sensors on the back of the eye so this is not going to hurt you but it will damage your vision so take it seriously. Please do. Full approved list of glasses on our website and tune in next monday for full coverage of the eclipse. David will be anchoring our live special at 1 00 p. M. Eastern on abc. Make sure you have glasses, david. Only if i can get those glass, robin. Shes still looking for the light. Cannot wait for that next week monday, you can watch from your own home if you dont make it to one of those areas. Right now we turn to a new parenting trend. Moms and dads using crowdfunding sites to raise money to spend more time with their infants without the stress of returning to their work. Rebecca jarvis has more. The u. S. Is the only developed country without any sort of national parental leave policy. Just 12 of private Sector Workers here have access to paid family leave through their companies and now some parents are taking this new increasingly common step to crowdfund their time off to bond and care for their newborn. Lisa taylor is well prepared to become a mom. The new nursery in her florida home is already filled with i m items from her baby reg city but at the top of that list a unique request. Extended Maternity Leave. Lisa and her husband josh are asking friends and family to crowdfund their time off with the new baby. Im going to be out of work and thats going to be a big chunk of our combined income. Reporter thousands of parents like lisa and josh are turning to crowdfunding sites like baby list, plumfund and gofundme seeking financial help to subsidize parental leave. Families ask for between 500 and 10,000. On average people are asking for 2,000 to 3,000. Reporter the United States is the only advanced country where paid leave isnt government sponsored. Under the current federal law new mothers can take off 12 weeks, but only 13 of them will get any compensation. Taylor and ross desperately wanted that bonding time and started saving up early before they got the news their son aidan would be born nine weeks early. I left work going to a doctors appointment and didnt come back for three months. Reporter taylor had developed preee collapse ya and had to be induced and turned to gofundme. How did you make the decision to crowdfund the Maternity Leave . Gofundme had been a thought. It had been something that was brought up but ross was a little hesitant about it. Ross, what were your biggest rest ser vegass. These are intimatedetails of our lives that we were sort of putting out there for family, friends, public consumption. So it occurred to me that my pride, our privacy dont outweigh taylor and aidan getting the chance that they need to spend time together at this most crucial part of our lives. And they got that crucial time together. I asked taylor and ross would they do it again, would they crowdfund their parental leave and they said, yes, absolutely. Both Congressional Democrats and the Trump Administration have proposals on the table that could guarantee families some paid time off. That could begin as early as next year and for many families it cant come soon enough. Maybes such a difference too. Have that time. To have that time, all right, rebecca, thanks very much.

[ applause ] now, what is the key to starting the term off right is sleeping. Getting kids back to bedtimes because summer, theyve been sleeping, going to bed late, waking up late. How can we get them back on track. Ease them into it. Letting them stay up to 11 every night, the night before School Starts you cant say go to bed at 7 30 or 8. Two weeks before or a week before, every day make bedtime a little earlier so theyre ready when they have to, you know, go to sleep on time. You have to explain them too. Its not a punishment. Theyll be annoyed. They had fun all summer. If you have a late waker, you have a kid that likes to sleep in. Start getting him up earlier and earlier every day. Routines are critical. Especially bedtime routines. Want an hour before bedtime ideally cut off electronics. No running around. Let their bodies relax. Let their mind relax. Have a little one, read a story to them. Older kid, they can read by themselves and give them an alarm clock so they can take responsibility for their bedtime and wakeup time and mom and dads are alarms forever. Another countdown to class prepares them is going to see the doctor. Oh, going to the see the doctor is key. A lot of kids want a proof of an annual physical and make sure vaccinations are up to date. Do that before school start. Getting ready emotionally. Got stuff for that. Off summer off time. How do you prepare them for whats about to come. Homework is coming. Winter is coming. I know, exactly. A lot of schools will send home summer packs where they do the work before the first day of school. If youre like me i shove that to the side and dont think about it till now. Every couple every day we do a couple of sheets to be prepared. If your did not send home a packet you can buy things from amazon or book stores to get them back in that mode. Much needed. Youre sleeping welt. Youre ready to learn. Youre back on track and healthy. How do you keep all those schedules straight. Oh, my gosh, well, i mean it is maddening with all of the games, recitals and all the things that families have to do its great to have a family calendar.

But what if you dont watch the show. The Washington Post wrote about how nonfans are coping. Now that the season is in full swing. What do you do if you havent seen the most popular tv show or movie . Do you fake it . You cant fake it with that show. No. Do you opt for the smile and nod. Smile and nod. I just smile and nod. Or do you admit you have no idea what theyre talking about. All of the above. Which one . What kind of person if youre in the office, theyre talking about some show youve never seen are you like, oh, yeah, that was good. I liked that scene a lot. You cant get away with it in the news business. Theyll question you, what did you think when that happened. What an embarrassing thing to lie about. Im sorry, dude. I didnt see it. Game of thrones, i watched the first three seasons with i couldnt keep i could keep up at the time but i feel like id have to do way too much. And the dragons, yeah. Winter is coming. Thats all i know. I just admit i havent watched it. I havent watched it since season two. Im not a nonfan. I just havent watched it yet. Talking about game of thrones but has there ever been anything you kind of who just saw lalaland. I didnt just see i thought no, you said earlier, a lot of people would fake it with lalaland and the dancing was amazing. I thought you said you i would just go see the movie so i wouldnt have to lie to them. But theres things in the past where i said, oh, yeah, that was great. To move on. Just to get it over with. I understand. Like we should move on from this topic. Getting uncomfortable in here. I could have sworn you just saw lalaland. Who went to the beach . You did . So have you noticed this phenomenon thats happening. You probably heard of manspreading where there were stories we did where men i literally close my legs when you said it. As soon as i said that you closed it on the subway where it shouldnt be men but people spread out. Now i guess this is spread to the beaches and theyre calling it the phenomenon beachspreading where people are packing up their homes and going to the beach and tents like this and umbrellas and doing multiple blankets even though theres only three people setting up five or six blankets so they have some space. That is beachspreading and towns in new jersey are saying, you need to stop. You know, youre welcome to our beaches but thats fine there. A little i dont mind that but it was like the camper. When they say no beachspreading. They say no beachspreading. What can you do . Are they limiting . A towel. I towel, maybe a cooler. Back in the day. Maybe a radio. Now youre dating yourself. Boom box. The towns mentioned belmar, new jersey, avon by the sea, Seaside Heights already have these rules in place and the mayor of belmar says the tents take up a lot of space on a crowded beach. Some have size that prohibits the lifeguards from seeing swimmers. This would prohibit tents more than three feet high and three feet wide. Do you need something bigger than that. If youre going to stay in your tent, why dont you stay at home. When youre in a hotel and the pool and someone takes up all the chairs. Thats the one im like, come on. This is worse where they drop one magazine. And then they show up at 3 00 in the afternoon. Ill be honest. You know too much about that for somebody who never did it.

Stress is a part of life. Sometimes in small doses it can be enjoyable like riding a roller coaster, watching sports or even a scary movie. It can help you perform better at work or during an athletic event but too much stress can have harmful effects on the body. Think of cooking. Without enough heat the food remains raw and inedible and too much, it it burns out. The same thing with your body and stress, the trick is to stay cool under fire. But what is stress anyway . Stress is any nonspecific demand placed upon the body, any demand that makes the brain go, uhoh and jump into action. Reporter stress triggers range from external things like problems at work or a Family Members illness to internal issues like worry, fear and selfdoubt. Lets take a closer look inside the human body so we can see firsthand exactly what stress is. Stress begins and ends in the brain when our brain notices something then it signals to every organ in our body to turn on. Our heart beats faster so we have the risk of high blood pressure. We release blood glucose into the system so it increases the risk of diabetes. Reporter in a milder form, the stress response can help you concentrate and perform better but when does stress become harmful . What really hurts people is the chronic stress. It increases the risk of hard joe vascular disease like having a heart attack or having a stroke and increases the risk of diabetes and high cholesterol. Reporter the good news is if you get in tune with what stresses you out you can create a plan to manage stress and make it work for you. All right. So now we have a better understanding of stress. Want to find out how stressed our audience is and gave everyone a paddle and have the words agree or disagree on either side so when i ask you three questions, answer thusly. Do you considerself a workaholic . Do you consider yourself a workaholic . Okay. All right. Are you having trouble put them down. Are you having trouble sleeping . Agree or disagree . Ooh. There are a lot of agrees. A lot of disagrees. Oh, young ns. Theyre skewing it back there with those so young. Are you easily irritated . Are you easily irritated . What are you irritated about . Youre like 5 years old. What are you irritated about . But you see it falls along not only gender and age. We have what we call a stressometer. Lets see it and it kind of indicates that our audience is pretty moderate. Kind of moderate good for you guys. [ applause ] nice. You know, im so glad that they are were having this conversation. And theres a new study out. Over a quarter of American Workers say they do not have enough time to perform daily work tansks. 50 say they perform some work in their free time. What is going on here. So important to start the conversation on stress because we are so overstimulated. We wake up in the morning and were in go mode and by the end of the day when we get into bed were typically still in go mode. This puts our body in a state of fight or flight or survival and when were in this survival state, we arent able to hear the body signal to us telling its stressed which could be overwhelmed, anxiety, exhaustion. Irritability, et cetera. So its so important that we create personal rituals for ourselves like developing meditation practice, taking three deep breaths to take a mini vacation for yourself. Movement, an attitude of gratitude. Whatever it is to give you the space to slow down so that you can tune out the outside world and all of its distracts and tune in to your body and how its feeling. I have a thorough believe in mo mo movement. You, my friend, ceo of a tech company, mother of thee and it wasnt until you were diagnosed with cancer that you looked around and said, boy, ive got to change things. Yeah, i was one of those people that amy was talking about. I was in go mode. I mean, i would wake up, i would be exhausted but like everyone i would just drink coffee to push myself through the day. I mean sometimes i would go the whole day and have one meal like a banana at breakfast and i really just didnt have a lot of boundaries between my personal life and my professional life. How did you change ha. Well, one of the things i did was i established a morning routine. So most of us have morning routines but this morning routine is for me, nobody else. And i spend about two hours every morning just focusing on meditating, praying, things that are going to fill me up and make sure im okay. If your morning routine could include good morning america, we would appreciate that, as well. Just saying. No stress. No stress. So lets break it down here beginning with our environment, amy. So our environment is a piece of the puzzle for how we can destress and set ourselves up to survive or thrive and not just survive. So think about your home as your sanctuary what i like to call your zen denso its important to bring in decorations that make you feel happy and serene, choose muted colors, create a space that really sets up up for restorative rest and thats really important. And then you have your office which most of us have to work but what we dont realize is that we have a lot more power over our environment than we think. So its important to create your office to be a happy space. This means bringing in meaningful objects that bring you warmth when you see them, things that pique your imagination and a good inspirational quote. Plants . Plants have Proven Health benefits and air purifiers and very calming so bringing in soothing nature into somewhat sterile environment is really good for us and you can also throw in some fresh flowers. Beautiful to look at but the power of aroamic scent can change your mood in one sniff. What is your suggest . Like i said, establish a selfish morning routine where you focus on yourself and it doesnt really have to be meditating or prayer. If you like working out, its whatever that is beneficial to you and the second thing is a mindful to do list. I think were all familiar probably with making to doilies but we usually make them for our Business Life or personal life. I recommend making two. One for business and one for personal and include things on your personal to do list like talking to your parents, going out with friends, reading a book. Things that are good for your own personal development that allow you to uncharge and from work. Angela, amy, great to see you again. Thank you both so much. Glad to youre doing as well as you are. Thank you, thank you. And coming up we have the breakout cast of patti cake . They are here live. Pro tip for fruit lovers giant has unbelievable produce prices.

[ applause ] it is great to have danielle macdonald, Cathy Moriarty here with us and bridget everett. You describe it as eight mile, rocky and rudy all tied up in one. Why. Its about a dreamer and obviously hiphop music and then shes a fighter so its like plus all my favorite kinds of movies. I agree. Im a big fan of all those. Danielle, youre from australia. Yeah. You had to learn a new jersey accent. I did. Which is tough and on top of that you had to learn to rap. So what was more difficult for you . Learning how to rap with the jersey accent because like a double tongue twister. It was insane. Its kind of hard to work with a jersey accent when youre learning it to be honest with you. This movie was all the buzz at sundance and performed your performance to Jennifer Lawrences breakout and now youll be in a movie with Jennifer Aniston coming up so how has this been for you. Crazy, overwhelming but really exciting and i dont know. Its just great to be able to experience it with these guys. They went through it with me. And, cathy, there is a karaoke scene and it was at a karaoke bar where your mom used to go and you took her to set one day. What did she think of it. I grew up in that area but i actually was going to stalk bridget because she was have ago i big scene so i picked up my mom who lives near there and i live in southampton and went and stalked bridget to get a peek of what she was doing and brought my mom and she was like, oh, you spent many a night here, cathy and i was like, yes, i did. It was like our place that we hung out. Like a full circle moment. Full circle for sure. You got your start you got your start doing karaoke thats right. A lot of people think karaoke is sad but i think its wonderful. I love karaoke. Nothing better than two cocktails and karaoke. Cathy, they made you look 20 years older in the movie and you had to rap. When this part came your way did you have any ap mentions . No, because i had the privilege of working with the director previously on a short called outlaws and i knew he was brilliant and to me he was like my new scorsese so when they asked me to play it i never thought about it. Ill do anything for you. When i read the script it was so heartfelt to me and i loved the message about dreams and pursuing them and its three generations of women and everybody had a loss and how you pull together. It just was heartfelt. And danielle, youre a rapper now so when is the album coming out . Never. No, i mean i rap as patti and im leaving it with pattiment i could never i dont have the confidence to do that in my real life but it was a lot of fun to be able to play. Well, i tell you what now youre great in the movie. All of you are great. You say you dont have the confidence. You fake it till you make it. I was faking it. You did a great job. Congratulations.
