This mornings eye opener is presented by toyota. Lets go places. Welcome to cbs this morning. Domestic abuse allegations against a Top White House official are causing a new shakeup at the white house this morning. Staff secretary rob porter, gatekeeper to the oval office, is on his way out, after his two exwives claim that he abused them. One of them says he punched her in the face. Rob porter calls the charges false and outrageous. He could leave as early as today. Julianna goldman is at the white house. Julianna, good morning. Good morning. The role of staff secretary is one of the most important jobs inside the white house. Overseeing every piece of paper that lands on the president s desk from articles to classified briefing materials. He is going to be leaving the white house. White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders said president aide rob porter personally decided to resign. Porters first wife shared photos with the intercept website showing what her face looked like after he allegedly punched her while on vacation. In a statement, porter said these outrageous allegations are simply false. But admitted he had taken the photos. His second wife, jennifer willowby, detailed the abuse with the Washington Post. Within a matter of a couple of weeks after being married, i was aware of his temper. He came and grabbed me by the shoulders here and pulled me out of the shower in a rage. Initially, the administration came to porters defense. Sanders described him as having exemplary character. Chief of staff john kelly said porter was a man of integrity. But kelly later amended his statement to say he was shocked by the new allegations. Willoughby told fbi investigators in january of 2017 about what she says was his abusive past. The fbi shared those allegations with the white house ten months later. I told them all of the details of my marriage including verbal and emotional abuse. They were also made aware of the protective order that i signed. Reporter sources tell cbs news porters full security clearance was then delayed. Its not clear if he ever received full clearance. As staff secretary, porter would vet every single document before it got to the president s desk. Including classified material. I would be surprised if you could do it without full security clearance. Reporter Catherine Dunn temest studies this for the bookings institution. The secretary is what makes the wheels turn every single day. Reporter cbs news learned porter is dating White House Communications director hope hicks and she is one of the staffers who was involved in drafting those earlier statements defending porter. Julianna, the chief of staff says this is new information. It wasnt new information. So how did the white house first handle it . Did they investigate it or did they try and find some workaround so he could keep his job . Well, thats right. The white house learned about these allegations back in november and actually in December Porter was considering leaving but he didnt. And, in fact, his role was actually expanded. He became involved in more policy decisions. Even helping draft the state of the union speech. And this was all done with the full support of the white house chief of staff. Okay, julianna, thanks. This raises a number of ethical questions. It does. It really does. Because as julianna pointed out this is an important staff position. Im known about how important it is for years as a White House Reporter as you have. There are ethical questions about why no one in the white house did this. The reason fbi doesnt give people like this a clearance is because youre open to blackmail. Thats the issue. Thats why the fbi vets everybody who has access to top secret security stuff. His job is to help the white house get in ship shape, you know, a little bit of an improvisational white house. So did they handle these issues in the ship shape way youre supposed to handle these kinds of issues or were they just trying to find a way to keep him on the job and minimize these allegations. And finally this is now the second top aide to the president of the United States who has been accused of abuse towards women and there must be zero tolerance when that happens. Well, its disturbing to hear they knew about it and he is still on the job as we said and talk about this today. Theres going to be definitely more on this story. Also some news this morning out of north korea because north korea is greeting the start of the south koreas Winter Olympics by showing off its military might. Soldiers paraded with tanks, Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles and other weapons in north Koreas Capital pyongyang. This morning, in front of dictator kim jongun. A few hours later, Vice President mike pence arrived in seoul to meet with south korean president moon. He repeated calls for north korea to give up its nuclear weapons. Ben tracy is at the games in pyeongchang with the message behind north koreas display. Ben, good morning. Reporter good morning. So north korea has really dominated the runup to these games, first by just deciding to come to the olympics, then by sending a 550 person delegation, and now by staging this massive military parade on the eve of the opening ceremony. North korea put on a major show of force for the 70th anniversary of the founding of its army. Tens of thousands of soldiers marched in the square. T also proudly paraded many of its weapons of war. Including two different versions of its Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles believed to be capable of striking the United States. Kim jongun and his generals looked on from above. Its way to show it is relevant, it can control the narrative in the region. Reporter shea cotton is an expert on north koreas weapons program. He says if kim jongun was trying to look more rational by engaging with south korea over the olympics, this was an odd way to show it. I think if north korea wanted to be reasonable with Something Like this, they wouldnt be holding a parade the day before the olympics anyways. Reporter during Vice President mike pences visit to japan, he told hundreds of u. S. Military personnel at the air base that military action against north korea is possible. Those who dare threaten us will do well not to underestimate the capabilities of the armed forces of the United States. Reporter north korea was officially welcomed t plik athletes village today. And south korean president moon jaein plans to host members of the norths delegation, including the sister of kim jongun, for lunch this weekend. Meanwhile, american luge athlete aaron hamlin, who was named team usas flag bearer, is excited about the north korean athletes who are participating in the games. Thats what its all about, is bringing peel together in a peaceful environment to celebrate sport and something we all love to do. Reporter for the most part, the athletes dont seem to be focused on all the politics that are surrounding these olympic games. An olympic competition has now officially begun. Today, the american curling duo of matt and becka hamilton, they are brother and sister, they trounced the russians 93 in their opening match. So while the politics may continue here in pyeongchang, let the games begin. John. Ben tracy in south korea. Crushing the ruskys, thats always a good thing. Feels like were back in the 80s. Usa, usa, let it begin. The pentagon says u. S. Air strikes that killed about 100 militants loyal to syrian president bar shar al assad were selfdefense. The strikes took place yesterday in eastern syria. The u. S. Military says they came after proassad militants launched an unprovoked attack on u. S. Backed syrian forces. Cbs news has learned american advisers were present during the attack but none were hurt. The senate is expected to okay a longsought budget deal today to avoid a second Government Shutdown in less than a month but the house may not go along. The twoyear bipartisan measure keeps the government running for six more weeks. It also provides an extra 165 billion in defense spending and 131 billion for domestic programs over the next two years. Many democrats are unhappy that immigration is not part of the deal. House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi spoke for a record breaking eight hours yesterday, pushing for a vote to protect dreamers. Republican House Speaker paul ryan says hes only bring an immigration bill to a vote if he knows the president will sign it. And she was wearing high heels the whole time. Thats impressive. New Research Shows the deadly flu virus spreads more easily than previously thought. At least 240 schools nationwide are closed today to try to stop the virus from spreading. At one wisconsin school, 30 of the students were absent this week because of the epidemic. Nationwide, more than 4,500 deaths have now been linked to the flu this season. Our dr. Tara narula spoke to a researcher who says the flu can be spread just by breathing. We all have to breathe so thats scary. Researchers at the university of maryland have created a one of a kind device that collects virus samples from your breath. Using that data, they then track how the flu is transmitted from person to person. All you do is sit, breathe and let the machine do the work. It just is pulling all of the air from around your face at a fast enough rate that we collect everything but not so fast it feels like theres a breeze. Reporter its called the ga sund hite 2 and is the brainchild of this doctor. The device is being used to collect and analyze the flu virus in an exhaled breath. With those virus sample, researchers are trying to track down how the flu spreads. The focus has always been on telling people, well, coughing and sneezing is how its transmitted. Reporter in 2014, mit used highspeed imaging to study how far cough and sneeze droplets and therefore germs can spread. But in a cdc study earlier this year, researchers discovered that the flu virus can be transmitted simply by breathing. If we understand better how much of the infection is transmitted by air, and what the dose in the air is, we can then figure out how to reduce your exposure. Reporter theyre using student volunteers to study the mechanics of how the bug spreads. By swabbing people who come in contact with infected students. If i can show that you got the flu from him, and it didnt come from his nose but it came from his lung, then you got it by the airborne route. We got the answer. Reporter theyre hoping to use these findings to create models for better ventilation systems that would make it harder for the flu and other dangerous viruses to spread. For now, wash your hands for at least 20 seconds, sneeze into your elbow and please stay home if youre sick. Thanks, tara. Former u. S. Olympic Team Swimming coach is under investigation for alleged sexual abuse. Seattlepi. Com reports a Homeland Security task force recovered devices from the see at home of shawn hutcherson. Former olympic swimmer accuses hutcherson of repeated sexual asauce when she was a teenager. Hutcherson did not immediately respond to our request for comment. Calling for an investigation into how the u. S. Olympic committee and usa gymnastics handled sexual abuse allegations against larry nassar. More than 250 olympic women and girls including olympic gymnasts accused the former doctor of sexual assault. Nassar is going to spend the receive rest of his life in prison. We spoke with the parents of five of his victims. They believe Many Organizations failed to protect their children. How important is it for members of congress now that theyre saying we want an investigation . The girls, the young ladies, they deserve it. You know, theyve been abused. They need to know that the enablers, whether theyre individuals, institutions, processes, whatever it may be, is eliminated, eradicated. Whether its usoc, us gymnastics, ncaa, Michigan State. Were at the top of the range. We really need to know who enables it. And thats only going to happen from an independent investigation. So larry going away was just kind of like the first chapter in the book, and the healing has started, but you can tell that theres something still hanging out there, that hasnt been answered yet. Reporter the four organizations they mentioned told cbs news they either did not hide nassars actions or were never made aware of abuse. They pledged to work to prevent future abuse. In the next00 t hour, the paren groups shares what it wants to happen next. Looking forward to that conversation later. As many as 2 Million People are expected for a parade beginning in less than an hour in philadelphia. To celebrate the eagles super bowl victory. Parade will be the first in the city for super bowl win. Huge crowds have gathered all morning in philadelphia and Demarco Morgan is along the parade route. Demarco, good morning. Reporter good morning to you. Believe it or not, people started lining up around midnight just to get a quick glimpse of the winning team as they get ready to make this parade. We all know that philly fans can be rowdy at times when it comes to sports victory. But police are hoping that that is not the case today. Sunday night was extremely annoying. I mean, and concerning. Reporter on wednesday, philadelphia mayor jim keating encouraged fans to act responsibly at todays parade. Dont ruin this for fans who have waited for decades as the eagles finally parade up broad street. Reporter city officials are trying to avoid a repeat of sunday night when revelers started fires on the streets of philadelphia. Caught foles, touchdown. One of the great stars will be quarterback nick foles, who caught a touchdown pass as he led the underdog eagles to super bowl victory. God bless doug peaderson and nick foles, because nobody thought they could do it, i dont think, and in the end they did it. The fivemile parade route begins near the lincoln financial field where the eagles play and has a fitting hand at the steps of the Philadelphia Museum of art. The same steps made famous by underdog boxer rocky balboa. Well have people all over, on foot, in vehicles, in the air. Police say they will have a strong presence along the parade route and the city is activating its Emergency Operations center to allow realtime information sharing among multiple agencies. Theyve waited forever to throw this party. Reporter philly sports radio host joe jelly says he wouldnt be surprised if 4 Million People pack into the city today. This town has been waiting 57 years for this and its just happy. It feels like an entire city has been smiling for four days now. Reporter the parade is going to end at the famous rock ti steps behind me. Public transportation is also a concern because we all remember what happened back in 2008 when thousands of people were stranded during the phillies world series. The subway will be free for the rest of the day. Folks just want to have a good time. Back to you. You wait 57 years for a party, you have a lot to release. I hope everybody listens to the mayor. Behave, have a good time, but behave. Drowsy drivers are a bigger danger than previously thought.

With e federal authorities involved hes hoping the arrest of nikkos grandparents means his son is one step closer to coming home. Hes an amazing little boy. I think youd enjoy getting to know him. Reporter Christopher Brann saw his son nicholas in brazil just last week. The houston physician found out about the arrest in a surprise wednesday morning call from his attorney. When i answered the call, he simply said, are you sitting down, and i said yes, and he said are you ready to cry like a baby . And i said yes. How hopeful are you that your son will finally come home . Its the first time that ive actually had any hope. Reporter the criminal complaint says nico was taken by his mother in july of 2013, nearly a year after the couple divorced. She claimed they were going to brazil for a wedding and never returned. According to the fbi, her parents helped carry out the plot. A criminal complaint secretly filed by federal prosecutor last year alleges nicos grandmother helped enroll him in a Brazilian School two months before his trip. It also says nicos grandfather carlos bought plane tickets to make it seem like nico was coming back to texas. Do you believe nicos grandparents deserve to be jailed .

Hes worried marceli will use the grandparents arrests to turn his son against him. My hope is he can come home, we can make amends, that we can move on with our lives, and that nico will have equal access to both parents in his life, because thats what he deserves. The grandparents will make their first appearance in federal court next week. They each could face up to eight years in prison if convicted. In a statement so cbs, the wifes attorney said her clients parents are not related to this case and mr. Brann has regular access to see his son. John . Michelle, thanks. Drowsy driving could be responsible for thousands more deaths on u. S. Roads every year than first thought. New research out from aaa overnight says drowsiness could play a part in nearly 10 of all crashes. In the last month 29 admitted to being behind the wheel when they had a hard time keeping their eyes open. Kris van cleave is on the road in washington with the dangers. Kris, good morning. Reporter good morning. Researchers and police have long suspected that Drowsy Driving was an underestimated, underreported factor in crashes. The cdc says the average adult needs at least seven hours of sleep a night. Many people dont get that much sleep. Researchers have found if youre a drowsy driver on just four hours of sleep, you could be as dangerous as a drunk driver. I got you at ten over and then when you changed lanes you didnt signal. Reporter when police in addison, illinois, pulled over the driver of this pickup, he said he was coming off a 14hour shift and was exhausted. Youve got to be careful. Being drowsy is as bad as drinking or being distracted you know what im saying . That driver got a warning. It just never dawned on me we would lose him. But a Drowsy Driving crash killed jennifer pearces 18yearold sister, nicole. They were coming back from a ski trip when the driver fell asleep and slammed into a tree. For ten years weve had to deal with her not just at 18 but the many years and who she would have become. Reporter this teen was asleep behind the wheel when he rearended another car. No one was hurt. Reporter aaa studies video from cameras like these. Federal estimates cite drowsiness as a factor in 1 to 2 of crashes. When researchers analyzed more than 700 crashes caught on tape they find Drowsy Driving in less than 10 . One in ten. Thats a lot of crashes. Definitely. William horry is with traffic safety. Theres no true measure as helping with sleep. It really comes back to try to plan and give yourself enough time to get that sleep. Reporter now, if that 7 to 9 hours of recommended sleep sounds like a luxury, some things to keep in mind. Researchers say the most dangerous times to drive drowsy are overnight, and things to look out for, if youre having trouble maintaining your lane, keeping your eyes open, or dont remember the last few miles youve driven, those are all signs youre too tired to be behind the wheel. Seven or eight hours sounds like a dream. Before you go, kris, can i ask about the new look . How long are you intending . How long am i intending . With the beard .

And it helps people achieve control that lasts so you could experience few or no symptoms. Humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. Serious, sometimes fatal infections and cancers, including lymphoma, have happened; as have blood, liver, and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening Heart Failure. Before treatment, get tested for tb.

Dont start humira if you have an infection. Be there for you, and them. Ask your gastroenterologist about humira. With humira, control is possible. A cup of coffee in california could soon come with a cancer warning. Mediation begins today in a highly charged lawsuit. The council for education and research on toxins wants businesses to warn consumers about a possible cancer risk from coffee. Thats right, coffee. The push for warning stems from a natural chemical produced when the coffee beans are roasted. John blackstone. Reporter coffee beaneries are steamed. A lawsuit alleges no matter how you make it, your daily jolt of java comes with a risk. He teaches the science of coffee at uc davis. As an expert he testified acrilled my forms naturally as foods turn brown. Its the amazing you get the yummy brown stuff on the outside of steaks when you grill it. Reporter it requires businesses to alert consumers about, thanks to a law passed in 1986. So under cals proposition 65, coffee shops are being forced to post signs like this. Trouble is in california right now, cancer seems to be brewing everywhere, at least it appears that way if you pay attention. Park your car at an indoor garage, youre likely to find one. At any place that sells alcohol, the writing is on the wall. Its posted at the happiest place on earth, even outside cbs news in los angeles. They create in some people concern that theres something lurking in places and they dont know what it is. Reporter but the warning may be stretching the intention of the law. Cbs contributor dr. David agus. I believe in transparency, but at the same time when you put out a bold explanation, to me it causes panic rather than informed knowledge. Reporter in a statement they told cbs news this lawsuit confuses consumers and has a potential to make a mockery of prop 65 cancer warnings at a time when the public needs clear and Accurate Information about health. While 13 defendants including gloria jeans and 7eleven have settled and agreed to put up the signs, starbucks is still waging a battle arguing that coffee has benefits. Coffee in moderation has been shown to potentially decrease the risk of certain cancers and potentially have some hurt benefit. Reporter this is one warning some will have trouble swallowing.

More than 250 women and girls including olympic gymnasts accuse him of sexual abuse. We spoke to the parents of five of his victims. Gina and john nicoles daughter maggie was a member of the usa gymnastics team. Lisa lorinczs daughter callie was a club gymnast. Doug and Julie Powells daughter cassie was a pole vaulter at Michigan State university, and kyle keiser took her daughter sterling to nassar after she was injured and christy lemkeakeos daughter lindsey was first assaulted when she was 10. Tempers erupted last week at nassars third trial. While the parents we spoke with are angry they agreed the biggest priority is to change the system. You were talking about an expletive earlier, doug. You are a [ bleep ] hog. A hog. We saw Randall Margraves rush him. Did you understand where he was coming from . Oh, absolutely. Absolutely. If i thought that for a second that it would have done anything positive to he was from me to you, to rush him and choke him out. What good is that going to do me or for cassie. We saw people in many different stages of grief, so when we saw mr. Margraves, at least from my reaction, i was just so sad. I was just so sad that its like its not my reaction, but i understood his. You knew in the continuum of emotions that were all having, weve all been there. When your daughters first told you about this, i mean, was it hard for you at first to believe them . No. No. It was difficult for us. We talked to our kids as they grew up and coming from a Law Enforcement background and perceptive, nothing ever good happens after midnight. Go home. Dont do this. Dont do this. Be conscious of what youre doing. How do you guard from a doctor . How do you put that guard in your daughters mind . Its saddening and sickening. I dont think for us it was as much as not believes her but not believing Something Like that could have happened. I was in the room when he was doing the treatment and he positioned snoo i stood up to see what he was doing, and i said what are you massaging right now . He said we just have to loosen those tendons, ligaments, missi muscles in that area, and that will help the skoelosis you have in your back. Cassie told me immediately when we got in the car. She said i am never going back there again. I said why . She said he had his hand inside me, and he talked her back into letting him do that. He made it seem like without this area adjusted, she would never be able to be the polevaulter she wanted to be. He had done good work with her from the age 10 to on 13 as a gymnast. Became a diver. Broke her back as a diver. Had gone several places for help, and she was home one time, and im, like, lets go go to larry. That was my moment. You know that he had fixed her up before. Excuse me. So when she went and had a broke dwoent even know what it is. None of us know. A broken back, a broken tail bone. When he described what he was going to have to do and like it will be pretty invasive im going whatever we have to do. I want my child out of pain. If this is going to work, lets go. Whats like knowing something was wrong . For us it was horrible, and for me im a failure. You know, my job is to protect my baby girl. We capitol go to the holtz. We couldnt stay at the hotel. We could not be in any situation to help protect other daughter. We had to fully turnover trust to these people. Do you think that was by design . Yes. To, what, cover up abuse . Theres so much more to this that needs to be found out because each and every one of them are intertwined. Senator gene shaeen said this is not a simple case of negligence or failed oversight on the part of the usoc, usa gymnastics and other institutions. There is affirm ed that many were alerted multiple times to nassars behavior, and if he found excuses to look the other way. Yeah. Thats cathy clegas and people at Michigan State who were alerted. Sfwa lindsey would never be abused had they taken angsz back at that point because she was only 2. Not one of our daughters where. No. When you look at this collection right here, our daughters would not have walked through those doors. If other parents come to you and say what should i do to make sure this doesnt happen to my daughter, what do you tell them . Believe her. Speak up. Zroo teach them that if something doesnt feel right no matter who it is to say im not comfortable with this and i need you to stop. I think one other thing that you would tell your daughter, you would have to tell them dont trust anyone. You cant trust the church. You cant trust your priest. You cant trust your doctor. I dont know that i i dont know that i want to teach my daughter not to trust anybody. I think i want to arm her with the tools that i think had i taught haley to say i am uncomfortable that i believe at 13 she would have handled the situation differently. I think its more of the other people that are culpable in all of this. I think they need to either step up and take responsibility or it needs to be taken care of. Thats what cassie said. If you could put in one hand all of those institutions, usag, usoc, if she could put in this hand them coming to her and genuinely, you know, picking her up and giving her a hug and saying i screwed up so bad or our community goofed up so bad, if she had that in this hand and 20 million in this hand, she would rather have this hand. Yep. Because her psyche is just different and changed and nontrusting, and that shouldnt be how we have to live. Cbs news reached out to all those the panel named, the corrolli who trained olympic athletes at their ranch have not commented. They say they did not know about the abuse. Usa gymnastics also did not respond. They did not attempt to hide nassars misconduct. The attorney for former gymnastics coach cathy cleygas has no comment. They say they are launching ap independent investigation into the decadeslopg abuse by larry nassar. I learned so much from speaking to these parents, and all just incredible people, and their daughters are suffering so much abuse and the aftermath of abuse lasts a lifetime. Because their daughters are suffering, theyre suffering too. As a parent, the one thing i never want to fail at is protecting your children. While its not their fault, you can see how theyve taken that all in. I have to tell you, my personal view is, you you know, when he asks this, is there something they could have done, the daughters of the parents. Im not sure they could have. This man was so sick and manipulative and the onus lies on those executives at the school and u. S. Gymnastics who knew about this for decades and should have stopped it. The one mother who was girls reported it. The girls reported the behavior that they felt uncomfortable about it. The woman who was a nurse in the room and even she didnt know. It shows how sick he was. That was really good. Really good. George clooney is opening up about his wife and his young twins. You know theyve got two babies now.

After responding to a call from a frightened zbliechlt police in scotland found themtsz in a 45minute standoff with a bengal tiger. That is until they realized and this is true, it was actually a stuffed animal. 45 minutes. Seriously . I mean, their first hint it might be fake is that they realized it was a bengal tiger, and they were in the middle of scotland. It was a pretty funny situation except for the guy across town who was getting mugged while the police were monitoring a cuddly toy. Wouldnt you think if the tiger didnt move for five minutes, ten minutes, 20 minutes, it may be that its not a real tiger . Thats just what they want you to believe. Oh. Well, it worked in scotland. Welcome back to cbs this morning. Its 8 30. Right now its time to show you some of the mornings headlines. The Washington Post reports scott pruitt, the head of the epa, is taking a new approach to global warming. He is now questioning whether warming is necessarily a bad thing. Do we know what the ideal surface temperature temperature should be . He wants a transparent debate about what we know about Climate Change so meshz can be informed. In the past pruitt rejected the Scientific Consensus that Climate Change is caused by humans. These recommend dags drive more than 70 of its viewing time. A journal investigation found users are often led to channels that feature conspiracy theories, partisan viewpoints, and misleading videos. Even when those users havent shown interest in such content. Its troubling. Very troubling. Our partners at c net look at a study that says smart tvs, including samsung and rokus are vulnerable to hacking. They use the roku smart tv platform. Consumer reports got it wrong, and users face no security risk. All of a sudden the volume changes and goes up or down and they change the channels. That wab a little freaky to me. Usually its just because im sitting on the remote. The Los Angeles Times reports on a study that suggests pessimism about old age may be a risk factor for dementia.

There will also be a lobster em emoji. I like that. Thats a good thing. I like that too. Looking out for his home state. I did say that, right . Emoj emoji. The home pod is priced at 349. This highend speaker is designed to work with an apple music subscription and itunes. Apples digital assistant, thats siri, is also available on the home pod. A recent report suggests by the end of this year consumers will use more than five billion devices featuring digital assistan assistants. Nearly three billion more will be added by 2021. Dan ackerman is here to discuss. Hey, dan ackerman. You have one of these in your house . I do not have one of these yet. I have a couple of echos and a few other devices. I have a lot of smart assistants. The device that a lot of people have, the echo, or echo dot. We tested one at our smart home testing facility down in kentucky, and our addo expert said it sount every sounded fantastic. A great amazing sounding speaker as you would expect at 350 single speaker to be. It better sound great, and it does, but at the far end much the spectrum compared to the smart home devices that people have been buying for the last year or two. Is there a competitive advantage on the smartphone part . I mean, is siri saying Something Special or new or tell you look wonderful or whats its got the same basic siri built in. If you like the phone experience, its very similar. Some people prefer alexa, which is the amazon assistant. Some people prefer the Google Assistant, which is built into android phones and the google home, which is googles version of that Smart Speaker device. The New York Times review called siri on the home pod embarrassingly inadequate adding siri is sorely lacking in capabilities compared with amazons alexa and googles assista assistant. Do you think that will affect sales . Thats the issue with the Smart Speakers. In a doesnt sound like a good endorsement. Dont you understand me . Im telling you. Weve been making fun of siri for years, and its gotten better, but its not quite is he lame level as alexa and the Google Assistant in this conversational back and forth stuff you want to do, and these Companies Take these products and put them on a spectrum. The smart end of the Smart Speaker and theres a speaker end on the other, and amazon and google have said lets make it smart. Thats the main thing. Apple is saying lets make it a speaker first and the smart stuff second. You can always get a good sounded speaker at home, but for apple customers, theyre locked into that ecosystem. They have an iphone. They have an apple music kripgs subscription, which is 10 a month instead of spotify. This is a device thats really built for people that already have that or want to have that all in all apple experience. I like that ue boom, and i really like those. Thats great, but if you have spotify or another music service, this device doesnt work natively with that. You can beam to it using air play, but its not the same as using the voice commands. Thats what everybody loves. Play this artist and song. Play this genre. That kiech works for me. I use my apple music a lot. Whats the next frontier on the assistant part . Like, what are we all going to get soon thats going to make our lives really amazing . I think were getting to the point now, especially on the amazon and google side where we have multiuser versions where everyone in the house through voice recognition, it knows who you are, and this is something the home pod actually doesnt do yet, but the other ones do, and im sure it will come everywhere eventually where it can tell who is talking to it and give you personalized feedback and information. Your calendar, music taste, what youre interested in by listening to your voice. Dan, thanks. Thank you whe. George clooney and his wife, amal, are speaking out whats her name, john . Her name is amal clooney. I know. The couple teamed up with clooneys parents to sponsor hasam abdal. The clooneys introduced him to dave for his nigh netflix series. What are you guys doing this morning . Well, apparently were facetiming our family with 50 camera men or so in the kitchen, which is something that happens a lot. George, you and amal have heard this story before. Im hearing it from him for the first time. How he spoke about even after everything he had lost, he spoke about his desire for jurks not revenge, and he talked about the future and what his dreams were, and i remember him telling us we were all in new york. I was with george and nick and nina, and he spoke about his dream of one day studying in the u. S. , and i knew we all had the same thought, which was, well, maybe stlz something we can do to help with that. Thats amal talking about abdal just to get that straight. Abdal came to the u. S. Last year. He is a student at the university of chicago, and lives near clooneys parents in kentucky. Clooney also talks with letterman about his growing family. It makes you feel incredibly proud and also incredibly small. Twins. Twins. Sounds fun, doesnt it . You can have hobbies again. In 20 years when im your age, yeah, exactly. The new episode of my next guest needs to introduction. Begins streaming on netflix tomorrow. Maybe the twins do take care of each other. Youve got twins in the house. You know.

A more Perfect Union, how he overcame huge personal challenges to connect with those is theres only one place where you can get. More adventure, more thrills, more magic, and more happy. And now you can stay steps away from the magic for less. Save up to 25 on select rooms at a Disneyland Resort hotel. So nows the time to get more happy more Perfect Union shows what units us is stronger than what divides. On any given night an estimated 554,000 americans experience homelessness, and in 2016 more than 15 million u. S. Households were food insecure, meaning they lacked consistent access to food. Our streaming network, cbsn is here with the story. This man knows how much a little can help. Cheese. Every weekend in syracuse, new york, it is sandwich saturday. Starting at 10 00, granola bars, chips and sandwiches, assembled in kits and ready to go to those that need it the most. There are thousands of people hopeless right now in the streets. Dozens of volunteers mobilize every saturday to help syracuses cold and hungry behind the leadership of muhammad. One purpose, happy humanity, right . You dont come to eat the food. This cold winter, its not just food they are giving away. Ace jackets and hygiene kits are handed out. But its more than the food and closing that the needy of syracuse get every saturday, human connection, bonds that are difficult to form on the street. When we dont have too much money, to go and get a meal and hot coco and all the people come together and we talk, and we network so everybody can help each other out. The volunteers found a deeper connection, too. It means everything to me. Its so positive. I get a chance to help people. I get a chance to meet new people. Sandwich saturdays is part of the nonprofit we rise above the streets and it describes his life. When i was on the streets and i was really hopeless and people walked by me like i was an invisible. He joined a gang as a teen in chicago. I started to get in drugs and violence and i got shot several times, like twice, on different occasions. He ended up in prison and there he found god and converted to islam. He knew when he got out he could not go back to his former life. Just like the homeless muhammad now helps, he found somebody to turn to, a caseworker in a detox center. He told me i believe in you, and if you dont get out of this condition, you cant help a lot of people in this world. Together they are working to help the people in syracuse, every saturday you will find them under the bridge giving clothing, hope, and a sandwich. I am going continue to do the work and fight and continue to save a couple people out here, because somebody trusted me and believed in me and saved me. Everything that goes into the lunch kits is gotten through donations, and what struck me, guys, is not only did he hit rock bottom, he almost thought about committing suicide, so he found redemption through this, and families are getting involved. If a mother decides to do this, and then their kids follow. You need one person to believe in you, that caseworker that said i believe in you and i know you are better than this, and imagine what that message sent to him and now what he is sending out to others. Its not about the food, its about the connection. Yeah, he says that. People want to know somebody else cares about you and wants to help you. Not to be a nameless and faceless person you pass on the street. Humanity.
