Transcripts For KGO Good Morning America 20180112

Major payday. While his female costar got less than 1,000. And overnight, facebook makes a huge change affecting billions of users. What youll see more and less of on your news feed. Good morning, america. Great to have paula here. We hope all of you are well at home. We want to get right to that growing firestorm ignited by vulgar comments by President Trump about allowing immigrants from africa and haiti into america. Abc news policy is not to repeat the profanity which, of course, trump critics have called racist and unamerican. We will talk more about that later. First, our chief White House Correspondent jon karl is tracking all the latest fallout from washington. Good morning, jon. Reporter good morning, george. Just as the president seemed to be making progress on a bipartisan immigration deal, he blew it all up with a vulgar remark that struck many as blatantly racist. The president s vulgar slur came during an Oval Office Meeting with congressional leaders trying to hammer out an immigration deal. Multiple sources tell abc news the president grew angry when he was told the developing deal would include protections for immigrants from african countries and haiti. Why are we having people from blank countries coming here, the president demanded. Referring to haiti and african countries with a profane slur adding, why do we need more haitians . The president suggested the u. S. Should bring in more immigrants from countries like norway. At first the white house didnt deny the president said those words, and now the president is tweeting, quote, never said anything derogatory about haitians other than haiti is obviously a very poor and troubled country. I have a wonderful relationship with haitians. But news of the president s crude assault drew bipartisan condemnation. This remark by the president of the United States smacks of blatant racism. His comments do not represent america. Listen, this does not help at all. Its a distraction. Reporter republican congresswoman mia love, the first haitianamerican elected to congress, called on the president to apologize, saying his comments are, quote, unkind, divisive, elitist and fly in the face of values. Jeb bush tweets, i hope todays comments were discuss a crass and flippant mistake and do not reflect racism. On the very first day of his campaign, he insulted mexicans. Theyre bringing drugs, theyre bringing crime, theyre rapists. And some, i assume, are good people. Reporter in august he responded to violence at the neonazi rally in charlottesville by saying there were fine people both among the protesters and the white supremacists. You also had people that were very fine people on both sides. Reporter the president s latest outburst came after he brought democrats and republicans together for a constructive meeting at the white house on tuesday, urging a deal to provide legal status to the socalled d. R. E. A. M. Ers, undocumented immigrants brought to the u. S. As children. This should be a bipartisan bill. This should be a bill of love. Truly it should be a bill of love. And we can do that. Reporter before yesterdays outburst it appeared that a deal was imminent. Now thats in doubt. There were Seven Members of congress at yesterdays meeting. The only one to comment was the lone democrat, dick durbin. The president started tweeting this morning, denying that he used those words. It is not true. And now the president is up and tweeting and saying, quote, the u. S. Would be forced to take large numbers of people from high crime countries which are doing badly. And now another tweet where he seems to be denying what he said, saying the language used by me at the daca meeting was tough but what was really tough was the outlandish proposal made. Unclear if thats a full denial, george. Weve asked for clarification. People ive talked to on capitol hill much more pessimistic. Stand by. Well bring in cecilia vega our senior White House Correspondent and matt dowd, our political analyst. We should say, we reached out to everyone in that meeting yesterday. No one agreed to come on the show. But, cecilia, first things first, weve seen the bipartisan reaction here in the United States. Democrats and republicans condemning the president. Alarm overseas. Reporter and this is what the world woke up to, george. Just, you know, the south african Ruling National Congress called this extremely offensive. Take a look at what the former president of haiti said. He said, quote, totally unacceptable. Uncalled for. Moreover, it shows a lack of respect and ignorance never seen before in the recent history of the u. S. By any president. Enough is enough. But george, we got to go back to what is being said here at home. Blatantly racist, vulgar, unamerican. That is the resounding response to this from both parties right now. Yeah, both parties right now and i have to say as we said were not reporting the word right now. I think thats probably a mistake. I dont think its right to censor the president or sugarcoat the racist sentiment revealed by how he used that word in the meeting. And matt, i want to bring that to you right now. This has alarmed so many overseas right now and here in the United States. Youre seeing the kind of reaction we saw in the charlottesville comments by the president. Well, it should alarm everybody. George, everybody in this conversation today, most of the people at the studio today and almost everybody on the other side of this camera is a son or daughter of an immigrant. Im the greatgreatgrandson of patrick dowd, an immigrant who came here with no money who, those same words were used about his country. They were used about greeks. They were used about latinos. They were used about asians. The same thing. This is a pointed remark and the only thing i can think of, only one other guy like donald trump who came from queens, and its archie bunker. And the only difference between the two of them is donald trump is president , has more money, but probably less class than archy bunker. Jon karl, meantime, at this moment there are some in the white house, they havent denied that the president used the word and some even arguing that this may help him. Yeah, privately absolutely no denial whatsoever that the president said exactly this and i got to tell you, george, its striking, a lack of concern by those that we have spoken to at the white house about this. They think its just much ado about nothing. And this is the way normal people talk. Its just hes not politically correct. Obviously, thats not the reaction youre seeing in the real world. Of course, cecilia, this is not the first time weve heard comments like the this from the president. Reporter no, day one, mexicans are rapists. Lets not forget this is a president who was among the staunchest supporters of the idea that president obama was not born in this country. The list goes on and on. Pocahontas. My africanamerican. He has called himself the least racist person. But jon hits the nail on the head. This is a conversation that was had behind closed doors in private company. I think a lot of people would be embarrassed if Something Like this came out for the world to see. For the most part here, the sources were all talking to seem completely unfazed by this. And perhaps, are a little happy that the media, they would say is hyperventilating over a controversy like this one. Matt, unlike with charlottesville, it appears we are not likely to get a clarification from the president. Where does it go next . Well, thats a good question. I mean as i have a said before, george, donald trump is like wile e. Coyote. Every time you think hell have success, he blows himself up in the middle of this. I would suggest to donald trump the next time he goes back to his home in new york, he take the boat ride over to the statue of liberty and read the words on the statue of liberty which says, give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, the wretch wretched refuse of your shores. Donald trump ought to read those words and take them to heart. On another subject the president making a lot of news late night tweet saying hes canceled his trip to great britain. Reporter yeah, he was supposed to be going next month. This is extraordinary. Hes saying hes not going because he is upset that the new u. S. Embassy in london was too expensive. More than 1 billion. And that the United States did not get enough money selling the old one. So he said he was being invited to cut the ribbon and he will not do that. Okay, jon karl. Thanks very much. Thanks, cecilia and matt. Paula . Thanks, george. White a remarkable time in politics right now. We do want to move to that winter storm thats on the move. It caused those devastating mudslides in california. It is wreaking havoc on the midwest and now its roaring east with snow, heavy rain and strong winds. And ginger, the dangerous weather spans from texas to maine. Yes, and schools already closed this morning from memphis area up through indianapolis thanks to that pink on the radar or due to that, not thanks to it but look at this. The stretching wind advisories to the flood watches and warnings from connecticut and massachusetts back to texas and alabama. Overnight, weather whiteout. Howling winds at 40 Miles Per Hour. Plus, snow and freezing rain. The cold sucks, thats for sure. Reporter this car in missouri losing traction on the interstate swerving across i29 with a fresh two to four inches of snow, doing a full 180 before coming to rest on the shoulder. Its real slippery out there. Reporter vehicles forced off the roads like this car in north dakota. Accidents in chippewa county, wisconsin, and for those still on the streets, a sea of white. Their only view as visibility dropped to near zero. Some needing an extra assist to get going. So what makes this tough is its not just snow from parts of midmichigan say back through ft. Wayne and into mississippi, but its snow plus ice. When that freezing rain comes down and hits the subfreezing air or surfaces and it freezes on contact, and thats when you get that accumulating ice. And thats what were concerned about even going into tonight. New york city, heavy rain and thunderstorms. Raleigh could hear thunder overnight tonight. The ice then moves east and if you have any travel plans from parts of eastern pennsylvania through interior new england, especially the higher elevations, very icy conditions on your saturday if youre driving around, guys. All right, ginger, we should Pay Attention to any warnings. Thank you very much. Michael. Out west, rescue crews are still trying to find the missing in those mudslides. Take a look. Our local station kabc capturing startling before and after images of a neighborhood in montecito, california, and our Senior National correspondent matt gutman is there. And matt, almost the entire city is facing a mandatory Evacuation Order this morning . Reporter thats right, michael. That Evacuation Order affects about 10,000 people here. One of the reasons for that is there are hazards everywhere. We found this one just this morning. I want you to listen for a second. Thats a ruptured gas pipe. Its been spewing gas for four days. What this mudslide has done is reshape the landscape here. Check out those cars embedded in those lit rate much of montecito is unhin habitable. Theres no water, gas, electricity. This is an affluent community and they have been sinking neck deep into pools so what they want to do is clear all the residents out so they can continue to look for the five people still missing here. Matt, so many hidden dangers out there. What can you tell us about the continued search and rescue efforts . Reporter well, technically it is still a search and rescue effort. But really it has become one of recovery. Nobody has been plucked from the debris here since tuesday. I want to give you a sense of the power of these mudslides, obliterating these cars, balling them into husks of metal. When you look at these homes, all thats left of that one is a chimney. You can understand why people are told they wont be able to come back here for two weeks and it could take months to dig out. Michael. All right, thank you, matt. Made those cars look like nothing. So much devastation. We want to turn now to the political scandal thats making national headlines. The governor of missouri who is considered to be a rising star in the republican party, hes under investigation over an extramarital affair and allegations that he threatened his mistress. Abcs david wright is here with the story and, david, the governor has admitted to this affair. But hes denying any criminal wrongdoing. Reporter thats right. Good morning, paula. The city of st. Louis is now vowing to thoroughly investigate these allegations which the local prosecutor calls very troubling. The young governor insists he did nothing illegal. But thats not necessarily the relevant benchmark. Missouri governor Eric Greitens, a former navy s. E. A. L. And a rising republican star, finds himself in the middle of a sex scandal. But most importantly im a very proud husband and father. Reporter accused of infidelity and blackmail, the married father of two now admits he cheated on his wife prior to announcing his run for governor. That admission comes after audio was released this week of a woman describing a sexual encounter she said she had with the politician in 2015. In the audio, recorded secretly by her now exhusband, she claims greitens tied her up and blindfolded her. Quote, i saw a flash through the blindfold and he said, youre never going to mention my name, otherwise, there will be pictures of me everywhere. Governor greitens admits the affair but denies ever taking the picture or trying to blackmail anyone. Adding, any allegation of violence is completely false. It never happened. Its a human tragedy here, all of this stuff, and it makes me sad and sick to hear about these kind of things. Reporter greitens is so ambitious that even before he became americas second youngest governor, he had already set his sights higher, buying the internet domain Eric Greitens for president. Com. The choice in this election could not be more clear. Reporter he became a republican just in time to ride the trump train into the governors mansion. Hes passionate about physical fitness and ran on family values. Playing up his image as a family man. But this sex scandal now overshadows all that. Violence, blackmail, all of that stuff, you know, thats a soap opera. We dont need any more soap operas in this Missouri Legislature or missouri government. Reporter already, the sex scandal has cost greitens some political donations and a whole lot of political capital. Many of the National Republicans who have been helping him get this far are now backing away. He was a real rising star. He was. Okay. Thanks, david. Now we are going to go to a major announcement from facebook. If you didnt notice, they overhauled your news feed overnight. Theyre trying to enhance connections with family and friends and our chief business and Technology Correspondent Rebecca Jarvis is here. Billions of users will be affected by these changes.

So theyre focusing on the baby pictures, the puppy pics, the posts about your major life events. And theyre pushing aside some of that content that we spend more time passively scrolling through in the feed, like articles and viral videos from businesses and brands, michael. Trying to condense everything to make it more interesting. And more personal to people. Why are they doing this now . Well, facebook has reached and faced a lot of criticism recently around what theyre doing, around what consuming facebook does to us as people. And theyve been making these changes. And mark zuckerberg, the founder and ceo of facebook, even talked about this early in the year saying we need to be better for society. And we need to think about how were doing things in society. They believe based on their research that interacting with your friends and family and having these personal interactions on facebook can actually be good for your health. Good for your health. Good for your health, facebook. But were not talking about what could happen. These things are already happening though. They are in process so people waking up this morning we looked at a number of our facebook feeds. Youre going to see more of that personalized content. The stuff like friends and family, baby pictures and see more of that right away but its also something that will be a work in progress over time. Still throws me off to see my mom on facebook and my friends are like your mom commented to me on facebook. Im like, mom, stop. Stop. I like that. I dont. Thank you. Want to go to ginger right now. Its like spring today here in new york but the cold is coming. I was going to say you see gloveless folks out in times square. But you see this image from arkansas where schools are closed up to michigan and you know the cold is coming. Yes, the slips and the turns coming on the highways there all from this.

We are back with those new details, and a report about Mark Wahlbergs demands to reshoot that film all the money in the world. Its raising questions about the pay gap between him and his female costar michelle williams. Abcs diane macedo is here with the latest. Good morning, diane. Reporter good morning, paula. It was quite a big pay gap. Wahlberg was paid 1. 5 million, while williams made less than a thousand dollars for the reshoot. And now, were learning why. Wahlberg reportedly had costar approval in his contract so when it came time to approve Kevin Spaceys replacement he used that to his advantage, big time. Do not have the money to spare. Reporter overnight, another scandal surrounding Ridley Scotts kidnapping drama all the money in the world. I dont have any money. Reporter usa today reports that Mark Wahlberg refused to approve Christopher Plummer as the lastminute replacement for kevin spacey unless wahlberg was paid 1. 5 million to reshoot his scenes. Wahlbergs lawyer reportedly vetoed plummer until the demand for the million plus was met. But that payment has become the source of controversy after it was reported that wahlberg was paid over a thousand times more for the reshoot than michelle williams, his female costar. Williams who is nominated for a golden globe for her role in the film was paid just 80 a day. Is this some kind of joke . Reporter in order to be ready for awards show season, the reshoot had to start just nine days after spacey was accused by several men of sexual misconduct. So williams said she did everything she could to make it happen. I received a phone call from a producer. He said please dont talk to anybody about this. Were still trying to hatch this. Well know in the next 24 hours if we can pull it off but would you if we could . And i said not only would i, but ill give you back my salary if that would help. And ill give you my thanksgiving break if that would help. Reporter usa today reports williams wasnt told that wahlbergs team had negotiated the hefty reshoot fee for him, despite the fact that both stars share the same talent agency. Celebrities across the world tweeted their disgust, Billy Eichner calls it shameful. And judd apatow writes. This is so messed up that it is almost hard to believe. Almost. So far no comment from wahlberg or his management company. As you can imagine, this has created quite a discussion. Williams told us she essentially offered to donate her time and its hard to fault wahlbergs team for being good negotiators. On the other hand, its hard to look at two people doing the same job. Shes the one with the golden globe nomination and getting paid a fraction of what he was paid. And yet theyre both represented by the same agency. And the agency doesnt even say, hey, theres a disparity here. Theres inequity. The implication is that she was under the impression that everyone was doing it for free and that she didnt know that he had made this big negotiation that may or may not have changed things. We dont know. But they are represented by the same people, which is what some people are focusing on here. My guess is we havent heard the last of this story. Probably not. Thank you, diane.

Reporter in idaho an entire School District shut down because of the flu. In North Carolina, this School Closed after 160 kids fell ill. The cdc says flu is most dangerous to children under 5 because their immune systems are not as developed as those of older children. So what if one of your childs classmates is sick . How quickly is that virus likely to spread in class . In 2014 our paula faris tested just that with a group of new jersey fourth graders. Good morning, miss paula. Reporter using a harmless powder called glow germ that spreads between people and on surfaces like a virus would. A powder that were going to put on your hands. Reporter you cant usually see it. Only under ultra violet light. One hour after putting the powder on two students it spread to every single child in that classroom. Ooh. Right here. Oh, my gosh. Look at that. Reporter we brought in family dr. Mike voshofski and he says all that spread could be due to sharing. Oh, look at that. Kids love to share pencils and toys. When that happens youll have a lot of germ interaction as well. Reporter but also striking, most of the children transferred the powder to their faces, where it can enter the body. You can see you rubbed your nose. This is interesting. Reporter dr. Mike reminds us the flu doesnt just spread by touch. It travels by air, too. Youre not accounting for the amount of germs coming out from their mouth when theyre talking and sneezing on each other. Reporter so the first line of defense, yep, hand washing. But the key, make sure you they know how. Hard to get them to remember to do it in the first place but when they do it, what should they keep in mind to make sure the hands are clean . Its important they spend enough time doing it. Whats a song that every kid knows . Happy birthday. Sing it twice through and that means you washed your hands long enough. Reporter and if you havent, get those flu shots right away. Everybody, six months of age or older needs to get a flu shot. If your child is 6 months to 8 years of age and getting their first flu shot they need two shots, one month apart. Thats really important because the first one is really a primer for the second one to work. Reporter all right. So why is this washing of the hands such a big deal here . Because, folks, if your hands are just dirty, you might be okay and not get sick. What do we do all day we touch our faces all day. Take a look at this. This is one of our coworkers at a meeting in a matter of that meeting we clocked him and he touched his face some 44 times. He didnt know he was being filmed. He had no idea, huh . He had no idea he was doing this. Had no idea so he does it that much and dr. Ashton can tell you its not just we tell kids dont put your hands in your mouth. Its not just that. You rub your eyes. Your nose. Hes in trouble. Yes. We are getting a lot of questions coming in on this. On facebook this one says, our family didnt get the flu vaccine. My 8yearold has the flu. Should i get the vaccine for my other son even though he has been exposed . A couple of things to clarify. Vaccines in children. We need to clarify, if they have never been vaccinated for the flu, and if theyre over 6 months of age and under 9 years of age, which means, 8 years and 11 months, they need two doses one month apart. If its their first time getting vaccinated. Vaccine is still the first most important line of defense. If you have a known or suspected even exposure in your home, then youre talking about the use of Something Like tamiflu antiviral medication. It is available generic now in liquid form to reduce not only the contacts getting sick, but to shorten the duration of symptoms and severity. And new information on antivirals, youve heard us in the past say they only work the first 48 hours. New data out of the cdc suggests this is not true and survival benefit in higher risk patients if given after that twoday window. So treatment should not be withheld just because youre at 49 hours. We have another question from tanya on twitter. She asks, i have my children take multivitamins daily. Does this help keep them any healthier . Such an important question and the people who like vitamins are going to be loathe to stop taking them. Its controversial when it comes to the flu virus. There was a big study last year in the british medical journal that suggested based on observation and association that people who took vitamin d supplementation slightly had lower risk of getting the cold virus or flu virus. More is not better. So dont overdo it. And the verdict is still out. Real quick we know its particularly dangerous to pregnant women, elderly, and ginger, i know youre im sitting here terrified. Youre keeping your son out of school right now . My 2yearold goes to Nursery School three hours two days a week. But i dont want him to be there like that. Is that crazy . That is an individual decision but i will tell when you when it comes to pregnancy that is a very high risk population for complications and deaths. The only patient i ever had die died of influenza while pregnant. I take it seriously. I will make a house call. My goodness gracious. You scared me. Go wash your hands. Doc, thank you. Very helpful. Appreciate that. My goodness. Our iphone challenge. Well drop the new and most expensive iphone ever made from three different heights. How do they hold up . Well see. What if we throw it . Theyll just drop it all over the place. Theyll just drop it all over the place. Because my body can still make its own insulin. And i take trulicity once a week to activate my body to release it, like its supposed to. Trulicity is not insulin. It comes in a onceweekly, truly easytouse pen.

Trulicity is a onceweekly injectable medicine to improve blood sugar in adults with type 2 diabetes when used with diet and exercise.

Coming up, an important parenting alert the dange and all the way from havana to times square, number one on itunes in 100 countries this morning, Camila Cabello here live. And shes saying good morning, america. [ cheers and applause ] that was good. Oh, good. You made it. Good morning, america. Happy friday. I dont know what that dance was. Paula was asking. Camila. Yeah, camila. Camila is here. Number one on itunes, havana. Addictive song. President obama, former president , loved it. One of his favorites of 2017. Shes on a roll. Easy to see why. It gets in your spirit and makes you want to move. She seemed excited this morning. Who seems excited . She did. Shes excited to be here. Were not the only ones. Take a look. Remember these twins who reunited right here on gma, well, they are back. It turns out, theyre huge camila fans, as well. Two days in a row. Love it. First, the latest fire storm from President Trump over those outrageous offensive remarks he made in the oval office about immigrants from haiti and africa. The president is up and tweeting h this morning about it. And were going to go back to our chief White House Correspondent jon karl with more. Good morning, jon. Reporter good morning, george. Well, just days after the president seemed to be making progress on a bipartisan immigration deal, he blew it up with comments that strike many as simply racist. Multiple sources at a meeting yesterday that the president had with members of congress in the Oval Office Say that he referred to haiti and african countries using a slur that we cannot use on the air. Calling them quote blank countries. Its prompting bipartisan backlash including this tweet from representative mia love, a republican and the first haitianamerican elected to congress. She called the president s words unkind, divisive, elitist and fly in the face of our nations values. Now, the president is acknowledging using tough language. But seems to be denying thats exactly what he said. Tweeting, quote, the language used by me at the daca meeting was tough but this was not the language used. That was what was really tough was the outlandish proposal made, a big setback for daca. So, again, george, its something of a denial, but its unclear what exactly he is saying at this time. Abc news and every other News Organization has reported this story heavily and said he did, indeed, say those comments. No question that right now its a huge setback for any deal on daca. Maybe even provokes a government shutdown. Reporter absolutely and especially because as the president is reacting to all this, he is continuing to attack this deal which was basically done, now seems to be fully in doubt. Okay, jon karl, thanks very much. Paula . Thanks, george. Now to the new tax law and changes coming for the majority of taxpayers. American workers may see more takehome pay beginning as early as next month. Rebecca jarvis is back and, rebecca, can you break it all down for us. Thats right, paula. Good to see you again. Everybody should start seeing these changes in their paychecks according to the irs in february. Employers have a february 15th deadline to make the changes and its really going to depend on how frequently you get paid when you start to see them. But in real terms, the Tax Foundation crunched the numbers to see how much more takehome pay people will be getting. And found that a family of four, two working parents making 65,000 a year getting paid every two weeks, they should see about 20 more in those paychecks, over a year thats about 540 more in their paychecks. A lot of good news and know in the wake of this tax bill, a lot of companies were disbursing bonuses. How will they be taxed . They will be taxed slightly less according to the irs. Right now its 25 . That will move to 22 , so thats a few dollars more people will see back from bonuses with new tax rules. The Treasury Department says about 90 of people who get a paycheck are going to see more takehome pay as soon as february. Plus, some consumers here and this is interesting, some consumers might see a break. Weve heard from a number of Utility Companies who say they will pass those tax savings along to their customers. Thats a bonus. It is. Big bonus. A lot of good news coming out of that report today for a lot of people. Sflo thank you, michael. Thank you. Now we switch gears to that major winter storm thats moving east this morning.

Turn to our gma cover story and that parenting alert about a dangerous new online craze, this is a crazy one. Teens are taking laundry detergent pods and putting them in their mouths then filming it. Diane macedo. Back with a pretty surprising, almost alarming story. I cant even believe i have to say this right now. They are brightly colored and very nicely wrapped but these tide pods are not candy or pizza toppings or breakfast cereal. They are not edible. And while that may sound obvious, a video showing how tasty these pods are, and a video showing this, experts warn it can be deadly. The laundry detergent pods you use to fight tough stains. I knew it was just what we needed. Reporter are now the focus of a dangerous new online challenge. Teens trying to be funny are now putting themselves in danger by ingesting this poisonous substance. Reporter teenagers are putting laundry pods into their mouths then posting the videos online. The videos themselves are so alarming were just showing freeze frames. This comes as the American Association of Poison Control Centers says theres been a steep spike of teens misusing laundry pods. Less than two weeks into 2018, there are 40 cases so far and counting. It only takes a second for an everyday item to become dangerous. Reporter this isnt the first time tide pods have come under fire. The small colorful laundry pods have been a major source of concern for small children who mistake them for candy. In 2017 the American Association of Poison Control Centers said there were reports of more than 10,000 exposures to highly concentrated packets of laundry detergent by children 5 and under. They would get very sick very rapidly. They get very drowsy, significant loss of consciousness. Reporter and thats not all. Consuming these pods can be lethal. Currently we are aware of about ten deaths since laundry pods came out into the market many years ago. Reporter tides Parent Company Procter Gamble tells abc news nothing is more important to us than the safety of the people who use our products. They should not be played with whatever the circumstance is. Even if meant as a joke. Now for any type of exposure question or if you need help, call the local poison center. 18002221222. Or you can text poison to 797979. Its important to know that the pacts are designed to dissolve when wet. Just putting them into your mouth can be dangerous. Nothing funny about this challenge. Most important thing, dont do it in the first place. Seems obvious. You almost dont even want to have to say it. It can be very dangerous. Thank you for the report. Let people know. Look out for your kids. Make sure they dont do it. Thank you, diane. Well now go to our iphone drop challenge. Something i hate to do because it never seems to work out well. And the iphone x is apples most advanced and expensive phone ever. Its got glass on the front and glass on the back. Becky worley dropped the phone from three different heights including a threestory building and, becky, how are you doing . How did that work out . Reporter not so well. But, hey, you know, youre not alone. Cell phone repair is a 4 billion industry. So to evaluate the iphone x, we went for a pocket drop, the selfie drop. And the oh, no, drops, to see how the iphone x he would up. That sickening sound. Ooh, a shattered screen. Some tech bloggers worried about apples new iphone x, priced at 1,000 a pop and both sides made of glass. How will it withstand drops weve come to dread . Apple advertises on its website that all three of its new phones, the 8, 8 plus and x are built with the most durable glass ever in a smartphone front and back. So we set up our own drop challenge with the iphone x. Three iphones worth 3,000 dropping from three different heights. Those heights, a pocket height drop about three feet. A selfie drop roughly five feet and a threestory drop, 28 feet. From the roof of this event venue, the terrace from paramus, new jersey. Nick guy is here to help us inspect the damage. From the waist height drop you might get a little chip but probably wont crack. It may. But from any higher than that im expecting them to break. Reporter dropping all three iphone xs face down. First up, the pocket drop. This is pretty realistic, you pull your phone out of your pocket and a couple of little dings but on the whole this looks fine. Next, our selfie drop. All right. Here goes. Not shattered. Im actually surprised. Our last phone an extreme drop from this roof top. Three stories up. Dropping this phone into a parking lot. Here goes. Oh back looks perfect. The front, wow. That is completely shattered to shreds. I expected the threefoot drop to be about what we got and i thought that from the fivefoot drop, i thought we would see more damage than we did. But the fivefoot drop turn out just fine. Of course, the threestory drop, i think thats what i expected. Its not invincible. To check if any interior components have been damaged jessa jones from ipad rehab pulls the phones apart. The dam ras are well secured. Reporter and puts them through a function test. Loudspeaker seems to be working. Reporter the phones dropped from three and five feet seem okay. It looks good. Reporter the phone dropped from the roof has a trashed screen and is making some rather odd noises. Im pretty sure thats the sound of the iphone crying. Reporter while the interior parts look okay, when we put an undamaged screen on it the cameras no longer function. This seems to have survived a pretty monumental drop with fairly minor damage. Reporter jessa says even after the three drops, theres still one more challenge. Im going to reserve judgment until it withstands the test of time. Wise. Oh pretty incredible that the phone from the roof had only minor interior damage. But we should add each drop is different. A drop on the edge or the back could have had totally different results, michael. Becky, im surprised it didnt crack on the front and back from three stories. Thats Pretty Amazing itself. What is the best advice youre hearing about taking care of your phone . Well, lets start with apple care. Apples insurance coverage. 199 for the iphone x. Totally worth it if you break the glass. With apple care the repair at the apple store costs 29 bucks if you have that insurance. If you get the front cracked, 99 for the back. Without apple care, 279 for the front glass, 549 if you break the back glass, ouch. Apple care makes it seem cheap. You know, we have some cases here and what are the best orpgss when it comes to cases . Because i think you get a case that should help in some way, i would imagine. It really should. And the folks at the wirecutter ranked cases and say they consider the best overall case to be the Anker Karapax that starts at 8. 99. A good leather option with a wallet. Apples leather case for 49. And a more protective option is the speck presidio grip, there are 39. 95. Thats locking it down and tell you like other websites the wirecutter does get a percentage of upon from retailers on cases sold through links on their site. Lots of options for protecting that investment, big investment. It is a big investment. Thank you very much, because ive already replaced a lot of phones and a lot of screens. I hopefully wont have to do it again because im taking this case home, everybody. And ginger, hold your cell phone tight. Well go over to you. Dont drop it from three stories what weve learned today. Time for your gma moment and i love this one because finley really knows how to get his husky howling. Go. Ooh. [ dog howling ] in unison. Ooh, so sweet. So mom says he gets this happens all the time. So send us your gma moment. Something that makes you smile or laugh out loud then well share it with the good friday morning. Im lisa argen. Waking up to a lot of fog out there. Its dense in spots. It will lift by later on this morning. Then we have a sunny day today, mild through the weekend. Tomorrow into sunday, temperatures climb even more, and then well be looking at some wet weather returning next week. A high today of 60 in oakland, san mateo 61, palo alto, 62 in napa. The accuweather sevenday forecast, more sunshine over the weekend, and then by the holiday, thank you, ginger. Dr. Jen ashton is back with us. With an update on dry january. The monthlong break shes taking from alcohol. On day 12 now. And so many have joined her journey sharing your support and questions. You say the response has been massive. We also want to bring in addiction specialist Kristina Wandzilak in San Francisco. Well get to you in just a moment. Thanks for joining us. Dr. Jen, you went youre a hockey mom and had to go to a hockey tailgate over the weekend. And i know you love tequila. How hard was it not to have it . This is my picture and all the parents always tailgate. We have great food. Very social. This weekend there was no tequila there but hot rummed mulled cider which i just love and it was a bummer to pass it up. But i got there and the dad said, jen, we have your favorite. And i said, dry january. Im not doing it. And then it wasnt hard. It really wasnt hard at all. Youve noticed some physical changes. Yeah. I mean, its been Pretty Amazing actually. You know its the middle of the winter. I noticed a big change in my skin, way less dry, less red. I had rosasea before. Its not so noticeable in this picture. The robe was just a couple of weeks ago. The one of the right, no makeup. Much less red. My Makeup Artist is commenting on it every day so thats well known. Dermatologists always say that alcohol is not great for your skin. Thats only after 12 days. I want to bring in kristina. Dr. Jen had physical changes but didnt struggle without a drink so what does that tell you . You know, alcohol is a toxin and its going to affect your body physically and your skin and your hair on all sorts of levels. So what it says is that theres no chemical dependency but, of course, her body is responding positively to no longer having alcohol in the system, which is a very beautiful sign. And i will say what i love about this challenge and something that she had just mentioned is dependence aside, alcoholism aside, what we come to learn when we do this type of experiment is how much how entitled our culture is to taking the edge of with who will. And what an extraordinary social experiment to remove it from your life and to learn what its like out there not drinking. All right. Kristina and jen. Great job doing this. Thank you. I know you said the response has been amazing. Coming up, Camila Cabello live. Good morning. I think this picture behind me pretty much tells you the whole story. Im reggieaqui from abc7 mornings.
