good morning. >> her first major interview she addressed the e-mail controversy. what do you make of the answer? >> it was more defensive this time than during her initial e-mail press conference. talking about she followed -- went above and beyond the law. she showed no remorse, no regret. in the initial press conference she said maybe i should have done it differently. none of that was in this one. very defiant. reminded me of the old days. almost as if she's enjoying the house republicans attacking her. >> she was asked about polling numbers, specifically on trust that plummeted as of late. she said that it was the result of unfounded attacks and accusations, largely fomented by the right and said this is a theme that's been used against me and pi husband for years. what does it sound like? >> defiant. doesn't accept the premise at all. this is a mountain of evidence that over the years there is one hurdle for the clintons -- her and her husband and that's the idea that they are not always straightforward. they play by a different set of rules. she doesn't want to accept the premise. this is the m.o. don't give an inch. >> doesn't it sound like this interview in 1998.

it a shrewd comment to galvanize democrats or might it backfire? >> it hasn't backfired yet. democrats haven't lost trust in her. among independent voters potential swing voters and republicans. if

wanted to lump trump. i see what you're going for. i thought she did. she was prepared in this answerment you could tell what her goal of the interview was. the minute she was is asked about trump it was, you know all republicans share his view. she hit jeb bush personally. almost the one -- which tells me it's the candidate she fears -- and it is on that specific issue and his ability to potentially reach out to latinos. is he wanted toer tar him with trump as well. >> trump called the u.s. a dumping ground for mexican criminals, drug dealerers, rapists, and people transmitting infectious disease. jeb bush called his remarks extraordinarily ugly. you talked to people fdsinside the campaigns. how worried are republicans about the effect of trump's comments on the his panic vote. >> they are all worried about trump's impact. but about half i talked to assume he'll burn himself out. one said this is no different from 9-9-9 referring to herman cain. another chunk of the party are concerned if he's on the debate one time even that what hillary clinton did in this interview, using trump to lump the republican party on immigration, that's what the democrats will effectively do. all you have to do is say trump. they did it in '12 with todd aiken. what he meant impacted reproductive rights. if they put up trump's message it sends a he is saj to latinos without saying anything else . >> more on the debate on the confederate flag in south carolina. >> the south carolina house will debate on a bill to remove the confederate flag from the capitol grounds. the

[ laughter ] olivia, i'm sure you're not a viper. but it was mainly directed towards our mom. as a reflection of somebody that's about to have two girls, why is the mother/daughter relationship so complex? >> we're the same gender. there's nothing like a mother and a daughter so i think a lot of moms forget that their own conflict they might have had with their own mothers. and you want more for your daughter so when your daughter responds to you in a way you think is cruel or doesn't reflect your intention, it can be hurtful and so many moms refact that way. >> look who's just sitting here waiting her turn. olivia, olivia, oely ya. when did you first feel you went toe to toe with your mom. ? because there's a point where you say yes, yes, yes, then suddenly something shifts. do you remember how old you were when that started? >> there's deaf it will any a big shift around 13 or 14. suddenly i felt she was my friend and i could tell her stuff and talk to her and i don't know why when i was younger i felt there was no need in a way, i don't know like, obviously i talked to her and everything but now like i get advice from her and she's like my best friend and it's -- >> so there was no period of conflict? this sounds very rosy. >> let's hear it from your mother's point of view. thank you so much, olivia. >> i think she was about 12 there was a year where we spoke two different languages. we could not have a conversation without it escalating, doors slamming. it was crazy and i thought how am i going to get through this. >> so how did you? >> i spoke to other moms who had older daughters and it gave me hope. i realized that this is a phase. we came out the other end and she's awesome now. >> did she ever say "mom, i hate you"? because i have girl friends who tell me their daughters say it or it's painful. >> i don't think exactly that but there were definitely things thrown at me that were very painful. i'd have to go in my room and close the door and regroup. >> didn't actually throw things at you. >> words. >> good doctor, when something like that happens, what's the best way to handle that conflict. >> the key is -- and it's hard to do this for mom just to pause for a couple seconds and realize that your daughter is reacting and what you don't want to do is react with the same amount of hostility she has and if you can just collect -- it's hard but collect your thought, respond with warmth, positivity, stay focused on the issue. one thing teenage girls are expert at is they know how to push your buttons and they know how to get what they want and they will deviate to get what sthoept you have to focus on tissue. what you want to do is teach your girls with love. >> so we have a couple movie clips. >> i love movie clips. >> let's see your reaction. is first is "freaky friday" let's see if the mother daughter can relate. >> honey, you need a serious and bracing reality check if you think my life is perfect. >> you could just cut me some slack just this once mom! >> i am beyond cutting you slack anna, but you are not going to the audition. >> yes, i am! >> whyno you're not! >> why not? >> because i said so!

she's trying to become an independent person, maybe i should let dhoer it. so we -- and i try to give her a reason, also. if i say no i'll say "because if you stay out until 2:00 a.m. i'm terrified, i don't know where you are and i'm lying in bed freaking out." >> and a lot of times when kids after they go to college there's a friendship that starts all over again a different kind of relationship which is something to look forward to. thank you so much. thank you, oe live yanchts you're scaring me. i have two girls -- one girl and another girl on the way. i'm freaked?

[ laughter ] >> i'm too hormonal for videos like that. it's so sweet. >> and taylor swift brings such joy to people. i have to say. she's really kind of in a class by herself suddenly i feel like don't you? >> she's such a good role model for young girls. you want somebody that's strong and opinionated but also gives back. >> and is kind. so if you've been watching wimbledon, you've been watching some anticsen the court. novak djokovic lost his cool. he is a very emotional player. during his fourth round win over kevin anderson. he wanted a towel from the ball girl so he pointed his racket and said something like "give me the towel!" anyway it's from the "daily mail" that's the picture. the woman was startled, who wouldn't be? by the way he said he was sorry afterwards and he lost his cool. novak djokovic is -- i watched a "60 minutes" on him. he's such a great guy who's very very emotional and i think he just must have lost it because that's so not in keeping with his personality. >> i don't -- do you find yourself losing it at strangers. i do not. >> one time -- >> i'm shocked. >> you know? it's like it's the last straw. you know what it was? i was late for a flight and there was a tsa guy going through my bag and i knew -- and it was after a whole conga line of bad happening that day. the tsa guy would not let me get through. i was about to miss my flight and he was going through my lip glosses. >> oh, my gosh. >> pulling the and with out saying "is this liquid?" like messing with me. >> see, that doesn't sound like a random person. that sounds like someone being mean. >> now i'm mad again. >> i find myself tearing up like a third grader like "please let just let me through." >> like when you wanted water on the plane. >> yes, but i was walking slowly and a man was driving one of those automobile it was the first time i'd ever been on one and he said "man would you need a ride?" and i was like "oh, there are good people in the world. yes, i do, thank you!" >> you do this one. >> all right, so have you noticed how there's booties, i'm not going to say butts -- although i just said it -- on instagram. justin bieber just posted this instagram. >> he was in bora bora. >> let's talk about that. that's really revealing. you can see things that i'm not really interested in seeing. >> by the way, we've put a huge black tag on it. >> that boots the booty in bieber. but lasst night chrissy teigen posted a picture of her husband john legend's booty. you can see his whole booty? >> we had to cover that up too. that large lump in front is her knee. that's her knee blocking. >> so she tried to cover it, too. and i don't think she wrote a caption she just thought like -- >> first of all, i can't believe he was like "go ahead honey put it on instagram." >> but maybe he wasn't. because i put a picture of henry up, not his booty -- >> on instagram? >> on instagram. henry is not on instagram so i can sneak. and that looks like so p.c. compared to the other boot thys. but the reason why i put it there is because he had such a cute dad bod in it. look, zoom in. >> yes, he does, he does. >> look at that. can you see his some snack. >> that is a great dad bod. >> and you know what else? he's not watching the show right now he's not on instagram, he has no idea we're talking about this.

[ laughter ] olivia, i'm sure you're not a viper. but it was mainly directed towards our mom. as a reflection of somebody that's about to have two girls, why is the mother/daughter relationship so complex? >> we're the same gender. there's nothing like a mother and a daughter so i think a lot of moms forget that their own conflict they might have had with their own mothers. and you want more for your daughter so when your daughter responds to you in a way you think is cruel or doesn't reflect your intention, it can be hurtful and so many moms refact that way. >> look who's just sitting here waiting her turn. olivia, olivia, oely ya. when did you first feel you went toe to toe with your mom. ? because there's a point where you say yes, yes, yes, then suddenly something shifts. do you remember how old you were when that started? >> there's deaf it will any a big shift around 13 or 14. suddenly i felt she was my friend and i could tell her stuff and talk to her and i don't know why when i was younger i felt there was no need in a way, i don't know like, obviously i talked to her and everything but now like i get advice from her and she's like my best friend and it's -- >> so there was no period of conflict? this sounds very rosy. >> let's hear it from your mother's point of view. thank you so much, olivia. >> i think she was about 12 there was a year where we spoke two different languages. we could not have a conversation without it escalating, doors slamming. it was crazy and i thought how am i going to get through this. >> so how did you? >> i spoke to other moms who had older daughters and it gave me hope. i realized that this is a phase. we came out the other end and she's awesome now. >> did she ever say "mom, i hate you"? because i have girl friends who tell me their daughters say it or it's painful. >> i don't think exactly that but there were definitely things thrown at me that were very painful. i'd have to go in my room and close the door and regroup. >> didn't actually throw things at you. >> words. >> good doctor, when something like that happens, what's the best way to handle that conflict. >> the key is -- and it's hard to do this for mom just to pause for a couple seconds and realize that your daughter is reacting and what you don't want to do is react with the same amount of hostility she has and if you can just collect -- it's hard but collect your thought, respond with warmth, positivity, stay focused on the issue. one thing teenage girls are expert at is they know how to push your buttons and they know how to get what they want and they will deviate to get what sthoept you have to focus on tissue. what you want to do is teach your girls with love. >> so we have a couple movie clips. >> i love movie clips. >> let's see your reaction. is first is "freaky friday" let's see if the mother daughter can relate. >> honey, you need a serious and bracing reality check if you think my life is perfect. >> you could just cut me some slack just this once mom! >> i am beyond cutting you slack anna, but you are not going to the audition. >> yes, i am! >> whyno you're not! >> why not? >> because i said so! [ laughter ] >> "i said so" how often do you hear that? >> i still say. >> it and how do you respond it to, olivia? >> i try to ask for a reason but i don't usually get one. >> i try not to say no to her unless there's a really good reason to say no. i try to step back and think do i really need to say no to think? she's trying to become an independent person, maybe i should let dhoer it. so we -- and i try to give her a reason, also. if i say no i'll say "because if you stay out until 2:00 a.m. i'm terrified, i don't know where you are and i'm lying in bed freaking out." >> and a lot of times when kids after they go to college there's a friendship that starts all over again a different kind of relationship which is something to look forward to. thank you so much. thank you, oe live yanchts you're scaring me. i have two girls -- one girl and another girl on the way. i'm freaked?
