Live from studio 1a in rockefeller plaza. And good morning, everyone. Welcome to today on a wednesday morning. Anyone who has had the chance to interview brad pitt over the last 10 or 15 years knows he doesnt love to talk about his personal life. Thats why this interview seems so candid and revealing. Yeah. He gets introspective. Its interesting to hear that. Were going to have that in a couple of moments. Man, you would think its november 2016. Its clinton versus trump all over again. Were going to talk about that in a second. Were going to start with a wave of headlines coming out of the white house. Fresh obstacles to the health care system, to his phone call with Vladimir Putin. And as savannah just referenced, a war of words with Hillary Clinton. We have complete coverage, starting with peter alexander. Good morning. Reporter hey, matt. Good morning to you. The two president s, putin and trump, eyeing a possible personal meeting. While Top White House aides have shied away from setting another artificial deadline, as they describe it, for a health care bill. House republicans may be running into another wall. Looking for lastminute tweaks, with new indications they are short with the necessary votes to pass it. This morning, the latest republican attempt to overhaul obamacare, appears to be in critical condition. 21 now oppose the bill. With no democrats onboard. Republicans can only afford 22 defections. President trump in the rose garden, still searching for his first major legislative victory. How is health care coming, folks . We moving along . I think its time now, right . Reporter during a ceremony to celebrate the air force Academy Football team, boasting about the budget compromise that avoids the government shutdown. This is what winning looks like, something you folks really know a lot about. Reporter the spending bill does not include more than 1 billion the president wanted for a border wall. The budget director saying the president came through on his promises. Were building this. Reporter mr. Trump venting his frustration with democrats. The government needs a good shutdown to fix the governments mess. He negotiated in good faith with the democrats and they went out to try to spike the football and make him look bad. Reporter following that highstakes call between Vladimir Putin and trump, word of a russian rendezvous today. The leaders are trying to schedule what would be their first facetoface meeting at the g20 summit in germany this july. Matt and savannah . Peter, thank you very much. Overnight, President Trump fired back on twitter comments from Hillary Clinton on the president ial election. He said she was on her way to winning before two major outcomes changed the election. Reporter good morning, savannah. Hillary clinton in her most candid comments about her loss. Not holding back about the man who defeated rs tuesday night a planned parenthood event. Forwards, resist. Insist. Persist. Enlist. Reporter earlier tuesday, declaring she is back. Im now back to being an activist citizen. And part of the resistance. Reporter a noholdsbarred clinton, taking on donald trump. You know, health care is complicated. And so is foreign policy. Reporter including the president s talk of meeting with north koreas kim jongun. Negotiations are critical. But they have to be part of a broader strategy, not just thrown out on a tweet some morning, hey, lets get together and see if we cant get along. Reporter clinton almost taunting the president to tweet at her instead, while taking a jab of his repeated references to winning the electoral college. He should worry less about the election and my winning the popular than doing some other things. President trump taking the bait. Tweeting overnight about his victory. Fbi director comey was the best thing that ever happened the Hillary Clinton. In that he gave her a free pass for many bad deeds. The phony trump russian story was an excuse used by the democratic as justification for losing the election. Perhaps trump just ran a Great Campaign. But clinton deflecting blame for her loss. Oh, of course. I take absolute personal responsibility. I was the candidate. But i was on the way to winning, until a combination of jim comeys letter on october 28th. And russian wikileaks raised doubt in the minds of people who were inclined to vote for me, but got scared off. Reporter clinton never mentioning her failure to inspire voters in former blue states like wisconsin, michigan or pennsylvania. Or why she lost a majority of white collegeeducated women . Did i make mistakes . Oh, my gosh, yes. Youll read my confession. But the reason i believe we lost were the intervening events in the last ten days. Reporter comey is testifying today and may well being asked about clintons charge. But even some former clinton aides say she is not really confronting her own political failings for her unexpected defeat. A loss from which, they say, she has not recovered. Savannah . Andrea mitchell in washington. Thank you. Lets bring in Nicolle Wallace and steve kornacki. Good to see you both. Let me start with both of you and the same question. And fairly simple. Did Hillary Clinton strike the right tone . Did she draw the right line in terms of the blame she took and the blame she laid at the feet of others . I think she got it halfright. It was the most honestly ive seen her describe the process in which shes going to confess all the things she did wrong. But i dont think it servesi mean hes the worst winner ive ever seen. And shes very publicly going through the ten stages of grief. Which will not her supporters are still upset. But shes not winning over any converts. What did you think . If thats truly how she assesses the situation, she thinks she was all set to win except for james comey, give her credit for being honest about it. Yes. She didnt grapple with some of the bigger things with this election. The simplest one is i cannot think of an election in modern american history, where the climate was more antiestablishment than it was in 2016. And Hillary Clinton had 25 years of experience, not just on the National Political stage but at the center of it. And i think that was a major ingredient. I didnt hear her grapple at all with that yesterday. What about President Trump. I mean she kind of trolled him a little bit by saying i won the popular vote. She all but dared him to tweet to her. And he took the bait. Shes making the same argument she made in that debate where she said, we cant have a commander in chief who cant be baited with a tweet. The voters of michigan and wisconsin thought it was a risk they could take. She got little stuff wrong, like logistics. Her plane didnt land in the right states. She needed to make the places where ive been interviewing trump democrats, michigan, wisconsin, you know, the states that the she lost are states where democrats have not made any gains. And im not sure her appearance yesterday is going to help them there. Lets pretend the election is over because it is. And lets get to the business of running the government and funding it. If youre a republican member of congress, steve. Youre one of the majority in the house and the senate, how do you feel about the president s tweet where he says quote our country needs a good shutdown in september to fix mess . This is donald trump responding not just to democrats taunting him. But hes got talk radio. Hes got Rush Limbaugh on conservative radio saying hey trump got rolled on this budget deal and donald trump doesnt like to hear that. The only thing he can come up with is hey the next time this funding comes around were going to do it differently. Were going to give them the shutdown. If youre a republican on capitol hill, what do you want to do between now and september . You want tax reform done. Thats where you want your focus. Thats where you want your emphasis. Hes side tracking you with talk of a shutdown. Good to talk to you as always. Throwing it back to november 2016. Thank you. Breaking overnight, a suicide car bomber struck a u. S. Military convoy in afghanistan, killed at least eight civilians and injured three American Service members. Afghan Officials Say another 25 afghan civilians were in the wounded in the rush hour attack that happened near the u. S. Embassy in kabul. Isis has claimed responsibility for the attack. Theres shock waves this morning. New developments tied to a number of policeinvolved shootings across the country. Lets begin in baton rouge, louisiana. Where the Justice Department has decided it will not bring charges against two White Police Officers who shot and killed an africanamerican man back in july. Nbcs Gabe Gutierrez is outside the Convenience Store where that shooting took place. Gabe, good morning to you. Reporter matt, good morning. This city had been bracing for the Justice Departments decision for days. Following last years protests. Attorneys for the family of alton sterling thought they would be among the first to know but they now say they have yet to be officially notified. Word leaked out, outrage was immediate. The news spread quickly overnight. That no charges would be filed against the two Police Officers who shot alton sterling. Through the night black lives matter. Reporter protesters holding an emotional vigil, at the Convenience Store where sterling was killed. Its been almost a year. And were still suffering like it happened yesterday reporter last july police were sent to the store after a 911 caller told them someone matching sterlings description had pulled a gun. On the video, the officers can be seen wrestling sterling down to the ground and holding him down. But what happened before the graphic recording of the shooting is unknown. Shots fired. Reporter an officer can be seen pulling something from sterlings pocket. Police say it was a gun and sterling was reaching for it. Back then, i talked with the owner of the Convenience Store. Did you see mr. Sterling reach for that gun . Or threaten the officers with that gun . No. No. Reporter for days after the shooting, protesters filled the streets. Dozens of arrests were made. Almost immediately the Justice Department opened a civil rights investigation. Now, sources familiar with the case tell nbc news, prosecutors concluded there isnt enough evidence to bring charges. But sterlings sister, reached by phone, says the officers should be arrested. Its not okay with me. Because now yall are going to let these two officers walk, and thats the end of it. I guarantee you, if i shot somebody, and they didnt even point the gun at me on anything of that sort, id be in jail. So, why they [ bleep ] not in jail . Reporter city officials are now pleading for calm. Overnight there were peaceful protests in and around this Convenience Store. The state could still bring charges against those two officers. But that decision would be up to louisianas attorney general. Matt and savannah . Gabe, thank you very much. Now, to texas, where police have fired the officer who shot and killed a 15yearold boy as he was leaving a party. Police Officials Say roy oliver violated several departmental policies in the shooting death of 1y0rden edwards. The teenager was killed on saturday night when oliver fired multiple rounds at the vehicle he was riding in. The police said he was driving aggressively toward the officer. Officials changed that account, after viewing body camera video that showed the vehicle driving away from police. Edwards family is calling for criminal charges against the officer. In South Carolina a surprise plea deal for the former North Charleston Police Officer charged in the shooting death of an unarmed motorist. Michael slager pleaded guilty. To violating the civil rights of walter scott. Slagers murder trial ended last december. In a hung jury. And part of the deal, the state of South Carolina will not file new charges. Slager was fired after cell phone video of the 2015 shooting went viral. Outside the courthouse tuesday, scotts brother said his family was very grateful that the process is over and that they have justice. Back to that amazing video we showed you at the top of the show. A Small Plane Crash north of seattle. Ow. A Small Plane Crash north of seattle. This incident caught on a dashboard camera. Watch the right side of your screen. The plane plummets to the ground over a busy intersection. As you see it crashes into the power lines and a massive explosion is set off. Officials say the pilot had just taken off from a nearby airport when the plane lost power. Neither the pilot or anybody on the ground was injured. But the crash did knock out power to thousands of homes in the area. Now, to a disturbing incident at a baseball game that has the Boston Red Sox in damage control mode. The organization apologizing for racist taunts from fans at fenway, aimed at an opposing player. Today, craig melvin joins us with more on this. Reporter good morning, guys. Earlier in the season, the red sox and the Baltimore Orioles got into heated arguments over controversial slides and close call pitches. The bad blood between the teams took a dark turn monday night when Baltimores Adam Jones claims he was being targeted with racial slurs by a small group of red sox fans. The fallout was swift. But some of the red sox fans tried to diffuse a tense situation. Baltimore orioles allstar, adam jones receiving a gracious round of applause from red sox fans at fenway park. Taking the feel of being the subject of racist slurs. Jones heard the n word from stands. One person threw a bag at peanuts at him. That fan was quickly ejected. St throwing things on to the field is unfortunate. Our backs are turned. We dont know what you have. We dont know the intent. Adam jones over. Reporter jones says hes endured racial taunts in boston before. And back. Another great catch. Reporter but called this the worst hes seen during his 12 years in the league. My Immediate Reaction was of disgust. It was sickening, maddening. Reporter red sox president , sam kennedy, met with jones before the game and delivered a heartfelt onair apology. What he heard is unacceptable behavior at fenway park. It will not be toll rall rated. Reporter mookie bets, urged his support. Saying we are better than this. The citys mayor lashed out whomever was responsible for the racial taunts. A fool. Im going to call him a fool. Her a fool. I like to say worse. Reporter through the uproar, jones is being praised for his handling of the controversy. Fwh its bigger than the game. This is a game. This isnt life or death. Theres bigger issues in the world than a baseball game. This is purely entertainment. This controversy in boston is happening as the league itself celebrates the 70th anniversary of Jackie Robinson breaking the color barrier. The number of black ballplayers has dropped significantly. The current percentage, single digits. It was a nice gesture for fans to understand that moment and make sure they sent along a loud message. Agreed. Lets check in with mr. Roker.

Let us get a check of the top stories. President trump responding to Hillary Clinton. He says he ran a Great Campaign and accused democrats of using russia as an excuse for losing after clinton had this to say at an event here in new york. I was on the way to winning until the combination of jim comeys letter on october 28 and russian wikileaks raised doubts in the minds of people who were inclined to vote for me but got scared off. Clinton did add that she took personal responsibility for her loss. The white house is describing President Trumps phone call with russian president Vladimir Putin as a good conversation. The two discussed syria, north korea and a potential face to face meeting later this summer. Look at this life saving moment in kansas recorded by a Police Officers body camera. A 4yearold boy had fallen into a pond. An officer sprinted into action, jumping into the water, saved the little boy. The little boy was taken to the hospital as a precaution. Good to have him there at that time. The two late night hosts who find themselves in the political cross hairs this morning. Late night hosts riff on politics all the time. Two of the biggest names are in the headlines for Different Reasons because of comments they made in their monologue. They are both taking political heat. It was the late night joke that left audiences shocked. You talk like a sign language gorilla who got hit in the head. The only thing your mouth is good for is being Vladimir Putin [ bleep ] holster. He used a crude phrase while attacking President Trump monday night. It received instant backlash on line. The firecolbert. I thought that was obscene. It was lewd. It was inappropriate. It shows how out of touch that part of the media is with the rest of america. It wasnt just Trump Supporters blasting the late night host. Some called the comments antigay. Colbert maces gay intimacy with the cover of mocking trump. Last time was one of the rare times i also watched our dear friend jimmy kimmel. Amid calls for his firing over the comment, he ignored the controversy tuesday night. Urging his audience to watch competitor Jimmy Kimmels monologue from the night before. I want to say to anybody out there if you havent seen jimmys monologue last night, its an absolutely a beautiful, heartfelt story. Kimmel in headlines as well for his emotional monologue. Billy was born with a Heart Disease. Detailing his sons emergency heart surgery. They open the valve and the operation was a success. It was the longest three hours of my life. But it was a success. His opening monologue wasnt just about tiny billys traumatic first few days. He inserted himself directly into the battle over health care. Before 2014, if you were born with congenital Heart Disease like my son was, there was a good chance you would never get Health Insurance because you had a preexisting condition. He praised one of obamacares signature features. Insurance companies cant deny coverage for people who already have health issues. President obama took advantage of the moment tweeting, well said, jimmy, thats why we fought so hard. Why we need to protect it for kids like billy. After taking a political stand, kimmel ended with a heartfelt plea. If your baby is going to die, it doesnt have to. It shouldnt matter how much money you make. I think thats something that whether you are a republican or a democrat or something else, we all agree on that. Right . The answer to that question may be yes but how good Affordable Health care should be provided divides this country. What kimmel reminded everyone with his story about his son is whats on the line if we get it wrong. As for that colbert controversy, cbs has not commented out on the comments or calls for his dismissal. Interesting times. Thank you very much. Lets get a check on als adventure on the Orient Express. Hey, al. Guys, this is actually history. Almost 29 years ago, the today show was on the Orient Express. The train was not moving. We are moving right now. We are live.

Were back now, 7 42, with brad pitt braeaking his silence speaking out about his split from Angelina Jolie. Gq was with him during a photo shoot. In a candid interview, he talks about why he stopped drinking and started therapy. Brad pitt is speaking out in the summer issue of gq style. Only once does he mention Angelina Jolie by name. But he talks about life since his marriage broke up. At first, he didnt want to spend time in the home he shared with his family. Instead, spending a month and a half crashing with a friend. He tells gq style this house was crazy. Voices and bangs coming from everywhere. And then, theres dies like this. Very, very solemn. Xep f except for a few occasions, like a surprise appearance at the golden globe awards, he has remained out of the limelight. Instead, an intropektive bite says he wants to create art and work on his film, war machine. He reveals he just started therapy, going through two therapists until he found the right one. I love it, he tells the magazine. The news created shock waves when jolie filed for divorce last september, just days after an incident on the familys private jet. Pitt was investigated for allegations of physical abuse and was later cleared by the fbi and l. A. Family and child services. A court eventually ordered family counseling. Speculation only grew around the cause of the couples split, including rumors of infidelity and substance abuse. Pitt said, i was boozing too much. Im happy its been half a year, which is bittersweet. I had to step away for a minute. And truthfully, i could drink a russian under the table with his own vodka. I was a professional. I was good. This period is about looking at my weaknesses and failures. Jolie for her part has said very little. But she and pitt agree, the most important thing is protecting their six children. In february, she told bbc world news we are a family. We will always be a family. And we will get through this time. And hopefully be a stronger family for it. Reporter earlier this year, the actors decided to seal any Court Documents related to custody. Pitt says, i heard one lawyer say, no one wins in court. Fortunately, my partner in agrees. Its very, very jarring for the kids to suddenly have their family ripped apart. And pitt tells gq style his focus is on his kids. Family first, people on their death beds done talk about what they obtained. They talk about their loved ones. He hopes everyone comes out of this stronger and better people. We have more with will welch. Good morning. Its quite the interview. And you do see him open up. Hes not throwing his heart out on to the table. But hes really sharing some personal revolutions he seems to be going through in realtime. Hes working through his feelings with the writer who interviewed brad pitt at home. And thats hes one of the most famous actors in the world. But theres an element of rawness. And hes going through dark night of the soul. What is exciting about this interview and a great example for our readers is he is coming to terms and confronting his feelings in a way he never has before. Thats something, if we can learn to get our emotional lives in order, and that family and career are what follow that. Hes a living example of that. He says, i won the lottery. But then, there are other ways in which he was lost. So, to watch a guy at age 53 make that adjustment, i think is really interesting and a good example. This may be redundant, will. What caught my attention, was an eightday photo shoot. Thats a long time to spend with someone like brad pitt. You would say that the place hes in right at this moment is what . Well, you know, he was open to a collaboration. So much of the celebrity work these days is transactional. And what we brought to him was an art project with the photographer, ryan mcginley. We were thinking what we wanted to do with our summer issue, we are in a divided country. And we wanted to find a Common Ground that we can celebrate, which became the National Parks. Thats what i presented to the photographer and to brat pitt. Thats what he signed on for. He said it was his dream to ride his motorcycle through White Sands National park. So, we took him to do that. And you see, theres a different level of collaboration with us. I was struck at how open he was about the alcohol abuse and all the other things. And just how introspective he seemed to be in this interview. Were you surprised by all of that . Yeah. There was a certain amount of trust built up over the course of the shoot. Thats just the place hes in. I think whats really commendable, hes coming from a place of, im done hiding. Im done using crutches. Im ready to look this in the eye. And that could have just been something that he kept private. But in this case, he felt compelled and felt like it was the right time to share that. And i think thats exciting for all of us. Real quickly. We were talking. Is there any element here that you think this is a message he is sending out to angelina that, ive done a lot of soulsearching and im in a better place. And maybe is there some effort it did have the whiff of reconciliation. Maybe were projecting. You guys are of course, everybody is invited to read this interview and interpret it however they want. I didnt get that sense. I felt like this is a guy who has been stripped to his foundations. And hes looking to build it back and move forward. Fascinating interview. Really nice. Congrats, will.

Keir simmons is at the palace. Good morning to you. Reporter hey, matt, hey savannah. Good morning everyone. From a very young age, william was heard to tell diana, he hated photographers. Now, decades later in this stunning statement, he comes close to confirming that he blames the paparazzi for the death of his mother. And then, there were these pictures, again, taken in france of kate, when she was on private property, with a reasonable expectation of privacy. In his own devastating words, Prince Williams anger revealed over paparazzi pictures of kate topless. Comparing it with the death of his mom in paris, pursued by photographers. Seems like Prince William was really hurt by this. I was with him when it happened. He wasnt just hurt. He was furious. The duchess was a bit more relaxed about it. She thought it was unfortunate. And she was personally affronted. He was in a rage. Very, very angry. Reporter william saying in a legal statement, the facts of your court are particularly painful because they remind us of the harassment that was the source of what killed my mother, diana, princess of wales. The pictures, published while the couple were in malaysia. It was in 2012. The couple claiming they never saw the photographer, who was using a long lens. The deceit involved in taking the photos and their publication, shocked us because of the breach of privacy. Williams Court Statement says. Were told theyre claiming more than 1. 5 million in damages. What they want to do is add to the punishment. Reporter six journalists are in court, including photographers who deny taking the picture. And the editor of the magazine, who at the time, defended the shots. This picture the picture of her wonderful couple, young couple. In love. And nothing wrong. Reporter the prince, deeply protective of his family. Kate herself, taking the official pictures of the children. Some worrying about freedom of the press. But royal officials compare the french pictures to the worst excesses of the paparazzi, during dianas life. Times have changed, of course. Earlier this year, william was pictured partying at a swiss ski resort. The pictures taken by the public. Anyone famous faces anyone armed with a cell phone. Absolutely true.

Im not wellrested. Question for the table. All right . How do you define how many Close Friends do you have . Four. I have a lot. Close. Close. Like a handful. Like, yeah, two handfuls. Yeah. Two buckets. I think i have four. I go with four. Maybe eight. Okay. It raises a question of how you define what a close friend is. Well, a linguistics expert, someone important, andy, interviewed women of all ages about friendship and they shared some interesting conclusions in new york magazine. For women, its about conversation. They talk more often than men. They talk at greater length. They tend to get more personal. So, thats how most women define their Close Friends. It means someone they can have those long, deep, meaningful conversations with. Im a woman i guess. There you go. Thats what your friendships are about . Okay. Most guys are about doing things. Guys, your close friend, i play golf with that guy. We play ball. We go out to a bar together. Something like that. I go to bars with people. When you play golf with ryan, do you talk about your feelings and stuff . Our feelings . To me, i define a close friend if you got arrested, and you get one phone call, is that one of the people you would call . Thats how i would define a friend. Get me out of the mess. You need a lawyer. Who is the first person you get when you have something to tell them . I have a phone tree happening. Okay. Trying to think of like the four closest friends. Im running names through my head. Its usually someone i dont dread hanging out with. You know what bothers me about this . We never had a long, meaningful conversation. Im here for you, matt.

It has more than 3. 3 million likes on instagram. Everyone is asking, can it dethrone this one. Ellen got 3. 4 million. Hers are retweets. Kylies is on instagram. Instagram counts more. Why . Theyre more dedicated. I think that the likes on instagram are more meaningful than on twitter. Like dog years . Based on nothing. But the moral of the story, the most fun place at the met ball is in the bathroom. Its true. I didnt go. I heard. Its true. Thats where you go to smoke and hang out. Have meaningful con vos, matt. Prom, the upside of going with a friend, will be a good time. Did you go with a friend . I went with groups of friends. That was our generation. You just go with groups.

Premarin vaginal cream treats vaginal changes due to menopause and moderatetosevere painful intercourse caused by these changes.

We felt like we were just chatting. We forgot the cameras were there at some point. And you know what it reminded me of . Do you remember the game from the 80s called girl talk. Is that how the song went . Play to win. Theyre playing girl talk. Who is more sophisticated. The game of truth or dare. Can i tell you something . Did you see the boy in that . That was the kind of kid i had a crush on. His name was chad or brad. Whats funny, i would beg my mom for this game. My other friends had it. I never had it. I never had it. I didnt have it, either. Maybe we understand why. One, it promoted sleepovers, which my parents never wanted to have at our house. Thats true. A lot of kids staying up late and laughing. Lets play. By the way our producer got this off of craigslist. Got the tape with it. Are the zits in here . Oh. A used pack of zits. If you get something wrong you have to put these on your face. Lets try this, dylan. If anyone in the room with you is wearing nail polish, at all, your first child will be a girl. Uhoh, dylan. This is not true. Heres one. Your future husband will watch you catch the bouquet at your best friends wedding . My future did your husband now . He watched me catch the bouquet. Are these predictions . I dont remember the game. You spin it . This one is good. Your hands will be important to your future profession. Profession. I always do this. This is what i do. I do this for a living. Thats amazing. I do this. Oh, my gosh. My gosh. Your daughter will look like the next person you see on tv. Lets see. There she is. Lucky you. It should be this. Mila does look like me. And the next person i saw was myself. Was yourself. This is i believe this. We have found something here. Lets keep going. Keep going. Sorry, guys. Why are you sorry . This is ridiculous. Here we go. Zach, can you get behind me for a second . Okay. You ready . A boy who sits behind you in science class will be more interested in studying you. Ooh. This isnt science class. Its a different type of science class. I wish can you read this one . Count how many pieces of jewelry the person to your right is wearing. Okay. Thats you. Earrings and a ring. Thats how many kids you can expect. Does this count as two . A pair count as two . Last one. And oh, my gosh. Okay. You will give birth to twins five days after your 23rd birthday . That was my 33rd birthday. Ten years off. But its true. By the way thats weird. 23rd birthday. This is we have to say, this is breaking, you know were not all for some of these questions. But i have to say, it is fun to playgirl talk. You give me a zit . You want a zit . Sure. And times have changed because i dont think you can have a game where you would say, youre could you have a game ma says youre going to have twins at 23. Where did the zit go . Do you remember being little and wanting zits and braces . And then you get the zits and braces. And youre a 35yearold woman with mature acne. And youre like thank you for reminiscing with us on girl talk. I want to keep playing. How much did we pay for this . 4. 99. The fact it made it here overnight. Some owner is like, yes. Somebody bought it with used zits. Ha ha. Can we talk about brad pitt for a moment . Breaking his silence. Everybody is talking about. Its been seven months now. Its been seven months since Angelina Jolie filed for divorce from brad pitt. Now, he is speaking out about the split in gq style. They spent an eightday photo shoot. Does that happen . With brad pitt it happens. Not for us. At National Parks across the country. And he reveals it was too sad to be in his home after the split because it was filled with kids. He went and stayed at a friends house and he slept on the floor. He also said that he started therapy and stopped drinking about six months ago. He said he had been boozing too much and had become a problem. So, good for him. Yeah. I like the fact he says now the focus is on, everybody comes out stronger, better people. We should say the summer issue of gq style will be on newsstands everywhere on may 16th. The thing about this business, especially in entertainment, if you dont fill the vacuum, people make stuff up. And you have this hot couple. And this happened and that happened and angelinas speaking. I feel like he filled the vacuum with fact and reality and truth. And divorce isnt easy for anyone. And if you have kids he went to therapy. And it took him to his third therapist to find the one he connected with. And he was able to be honest and heal himself. I like that. So important. He also says that okay. What did he say . He praises angelina on how she handled the legal proceedings. He heard one lawyer say no one wins in court. Fortunately my partner in this agrees, its very, very jarring for the kids to have their family ripped apart. No one wins in court. No. Kudos for them for handling it the way they have. Cant be easy in public. Can we talk about bad moms for a moment . Have you seen it yet . I have not seen it yet. I saw it on a plane. It was like therapy. With mila kunis. If they didnt see it in the movie theater, you watch it now on netflix or whatever. Could you relate with bad moms . This is the scene everybody talks about. A school bake sale. If you havent seen it. Take a look. My, oh, my. What do we have here . Are these storebought doughnut holes, amy . No. Gosh. I made them by hand and i put them in the weird plastic container. Thank god. We do not allow storebought holes. Its one of the things thats silly and quirky. But come on. Theres a thread of truth to all of it. Now, its confirmed there will be a sequel, bad moms christmas. Thats never ending. The plot will focus on the original bad moms attempting to have the perfect christmas with their family. By the way, dont you feel like holidays, really create the atmosphere for failure . Are you kidding me . You think about, lets raise the expectations. This year, were going to really do it. One of my moms friends said, the key to a good holiday is to lower your expectations and drink more. I like that. I started thinking about a christmas card. Everybody has holiday cards finished by june. Maybe i will do one of the beach ones. Yesterday, for example, were out of time. Lunch with my girlfriends, right . They were like, have you finished were out of time. Its going to be really quick. Really quickly. I started and i want to anyway. Have you finished the Progress Report . You have to write the school and tell him what he needs for next year. Yeah, im going to get to it. All of the other finished. Its due april 28th. Im going to get it done. Sweetie, this is may 2nd.

But theres so much more than meets the eye. Thats all im going to tell you. But it has a sixth sense style surprise ending. This is not your grandmothers murder on the this is an nbc news special report. Heres lester holt. Good day good day from new york. Were coming on the air too bring you a joint appearance at the white house from President Trump and Palestinian Leader Mahmoud Abbas. The two came face to face for the first time earlier, a meeting the white house hopes will lead to a restart on middle east peace talks. East peace talks. Lets take you to the roosevelt room now. President abbas stood with a courageous peacemaker. Then israeli Prime Minister rabine. Here at the white house, president abbas signed a declaration of principles, very important, which laid the foundation for peace between the israelis and palestinians. The president and mr. President , you signed your name to the first Israeli Palestinian Peace Agreement. You remember that well, right . And i want to support you in being the Palestinian Leader who signs his name to the final and most important Peace Agreement that brings safety, stability, prosperity, to both peoples and to the region. Im committed to working with israel and the palestinians to reach an agreement, but any agreement cannot be imposed by the United States or by any other nation. The palestinians and israelis must Work Together to reach an agreement that allows both peoples to live, worship and thrive and prosper in peace. And i will do whatever is necessary to facilitate the agreement to mediate, to arbitrate anything they would like to do, but i would love to be a mediator or an ash ray or the arbitrator to get this done. Peace also means isis is a threat to all groups who cherish human life. President abbas has spoken out about these groups and we will continue to build our palestinian forces to counter and defeat terrorism. I also applaud the palestinian authorities continued coordination with israel. They get along unbelievably well. I had meetings and at these meetings i was actually very impressed and somewhat surprised at how well they get along. They Work Together beautifully. But there can be no lasting peace until the Palestinian Leaders speak in a unified voice against incitement to violate and violence and hate. Theres such hatred. But hopefully there wont be such hatred for very long. All children of god must be taught to value and respect human life and condemn all of those who target the innocent. As part of our efforts to move forward toward peace today, we will also discuss my administrations effort to help unlock the potential of the Palestinian People through new economic opportunities. Lastly, i want to note the positive Ongoing Partnership between the United States and the palestinians on a range of issues, private Sector Development and job creation, regional security, Counter Terrorism and the rule of law, all of which are essential to moving forward toward peace. I welcome president abbas here today as a demonstration of that partnership, that very specific partnership that we all need to make it all work. And i look forward to welcoming him back as a great mark of progress and ultimately toward the signing of a document with the israelis, with israel, toward peace. We want to create peace between israel and the palestinians. We will get it done. We will be working so hard to get it done. Its been a long time. And we will be working diligently. And i think theres a very, very good chance and i think you feel the same way, mr. President , thank you very much. [ speaking Foreign Language ] translator mr. President , i would like to thank you for the honorable invitation to come and meet with you. And i look much forward to working with you in order to come to the deal, the historic deal, to bring about peace. [ speaking Foreign Language ] translator mr. President , our strategic option, our strategic choice is to bring about peace based on the vision of the two states, a palestinian state with its capital of East Jerusalem that lives in peace and stability with the state of israel based on the borders of 1967. [ speaking Foreign Language ] [ speaking Foreign Language ] translator mr. President , for us to bring about a comprehensive and just peace based on the twostate solution, such matter would give a great emphasis to thearab peace and other International Efforts as well as enable to fight and deter terrorism and fight the criminal isis group, isis that the totally innocent and has nothing to do with our noble religion. And that also, if we create peace that is just and comprehensive, that will also mean the arab and islamic countries will have normal relations with israel based as stipulated in the previous arab summit, the latest was the arab summit in jordan. [ speaking Foreign Language ] translator mr. President , we believe that we are capable and able to bring about success to our efforts because, mr. President , you have the determination and you have the desire to see this come to fruition and to become successful. And we, mr. President , godwilling, we are coming into a new opportunity, a new horizon, that would enable us to bring about peace in that regard. [ speaking Foreign Language ] translator mr. President , as far as the affirment or solution, we believe that this is possible and able to be resolved. I am firmly believing that this is possibly, we are able to resolve it and i also believe that we will be able to resolve the issue of the refugees and issue of the prisoners. According to the international law, according to the terms of the international law, the International Legitimacy and the various relevant references, in terms of reference in that regard, and based on what is stipulated in the previous treaties and agreements, that no unilateral steps must be taken to get ahead of the agreement and discussing those issues. [ speaking Foreign Language ] [ speaking Foreign Language ] translator mr. President , its about time for israel to end its occupation of our people and of our land. After 50 years, we are the only remaining people in the world that still live under occupation. We are aspiring and want to achieve our freedom, our dignity and our right to selfdetermination. And we also want for israel to recognize the palestinian state just as the Palestinian People recognize the state of israel. [ speaking Foreign Language ] translator mr. President , i affirm to you that you are raising our youth, our children, our grandchildren, on a culture of peace. And we are endeavoring to bring about security, freedom and peace for our children to live like the other children in the world, along with the israeli children in peace, freedom and security. [ speaking Foreign Language ] translator mr. President , i bring with me today the message of the suffering of my people as well as their aspirations and hope. The hopes and aspirations of the Palestinian People from the holy land. From that land were the three modest religions and the yjewis, faith, the Christian Faith and the muslim faith to move target in the environment of stability, peace and love for all. [ speaking Foreign Language ] translator mr. President , i believe that we are capable under your leadership and your stewardship to your courageous stewardship and your wisdom, as well as your great negotiating ability, i believe with the grace of god and with all of your efforts, we believe that we can become, we can be partners, True Partners to you, to bring about a historic peace treaty under your stewardship to bring about peace. Now, mr. President , we have hope. Thank you very much. So were going to start a process, weve spoken to netanyahu and many of the great israeli leaders. We have spoken with moany of yor great representatives. Many of them are here with us today for lunch. We will start a process which hopefully will lead to peace over the course of my lifetime, ive always heard that perhaps the toughest deal to make is the deal between the israelis and the palestinians. Lets see if we can prove them wrong, okay . Okay. Good. Thank you. Thank you very much, everybody. Thank you. Thank you. As expected, no questions from President Trump, no questions being answered by President Trump and Palestinian Authority president Mahmoud Abbas after making joint statements, both men optimistic about the future and the possibility of a peace deal. Notably, president abbas talking about a twostate solution. We didnt hear that from President Trump. Lets go to correspondent Kristen Welker there at the white house on the north lawn. How much is this administration putting in this peace effort, which, of course, thwarted the Previous Administration . Reporter they are putting a lot into this peace effort, lester. Ive been speaking to senior administers officials who say this is a key priority for this president. In fact, he has tapped his soninlaw Jared Kushner with leading that charge. A lot of people have wondered if he has enough credentials to take that on. Hes someone who has no government experience. He is someone who is an observant jew, though, and the president trusts him and believes he is the right person for this job. But there are a number of Sticking Points. You talk about the twostate solution. Thats one of them. During this lunch that these two leaders are about to have, we anticipate that President Trump is going to press president abbas on halting payments by the plo for militants who are being jailed by israelis. Thats a major Sticking Point for the palestinian for the israelis. On the other hand, president abbas will likely press President Trump on these continued israeli settlements. That royals palestine januaripa well as them moving the capital from tel aviv to jerusalem. This is a highstakes meeting, lester, one of the key priorities for the new president. Speaking of complicated issues, health care. We understand the president has been doing some personal lobbying on behalf of trying to get a deal. Where do you think this stands . Reporter the president has been working the phones overnight trying to convert the no votes to yes for the new plan to repeal and replace obamacare. And one of the key Sticking Points there has to deal with preexisting conditions. The bill could allow Insurance Companies to increase payments for those who have preexisting conditions. We know that there is an amendment in the works to try to deal with that for lawmakers here at the white house today, talking to President Trump about that amendment, they came out and talked to reporters afterwards and said the president was sold on this amendment, but the question is, can they get to 216 votes . At this point in time, we dont believe they have the votes yet, but again, lester, this is another domestic priority for this president. Will he get it done by the end of the week . Its a big question. Kristen welker, thank you. Well have full coverage throughout the day on msnbc and on nbcnews. Com and a complete wrapup tonight onnuts. And soweweet potato. These are real portions. And you will feel satisfied. And i love this breakfast. This is my apple protein pancakes. Ive had those. Theyre not too shabby. Pretty good. And packed with 20 grams of protein. And a huge salad. The key is lots of filling produce. And this is sausage, sauteed with peppers and onions. And snacks are allowed. Yogurt with buerries and so man options online. Lets get to the workout plan. The workout. Charlene, youre not off the hook,er their. Ruben and charlene, we have them exercising four to five days a week. You can do these exercises in your home. You need a pair of dumbbells and a share. Going to show you a couple of quick exercises to do. Were going to start off monday, wednesday and friday, boot camp cardio moves. The first move, high knees. Very simple.

I talked to my doctor and found a missing piece in my asthma treatment with breo. Oncedaily breo prevents asthma symptoms. Breo is for adults with asthma not well controlled on a longterm asthma control medicine, like an inhaled corticosteroid. Breo wont replace a rescue inhaler for sudden breathing problems. Breo is specifically designed to open up airways to improve breathing for a full 24 hours. Breo contains a type of medicine that increases the risk of death from asthma problems and may increase the risk of hospitalization in children and adolescents. Breo is not for people whose asthma is well controlled on a longterm asthma control medicine, like an inhaled corticosteroid. Once your asthma is well controlled, your doctor will decide if you can stop breo and prescribe a different asthma control medicine, like an inhaled corticosteroid. Do not take breo more than prescribed. See your doctor if your asthma does not improve or gets worse. Ask your doctor if 24hour breo could be a missing piece for you.
