good morning, america. president trump sparks a firestorm with a vulgar offensive and divisive slur about immigrants from africa and haiti, said right in the oval office. swift reaction from overseas and both parties saying the president should apologize. what the white house stands by the president. we're live at the white house. in the path of the storm, 70 million from texas to maine bracing for a dangerous commute. cars spinning out, blizzard conditions across the midwest. temperatures plunging 30 degrees in just hours and now that

dollar demand. the new report overnight that one of hollywood's top paid actors said he wouldn't approve kevin spacey's replacement for that reshoot until he got a major payday while his female co-star got less than $1,000. and overnight, facebook makes a huge change affecting billions of users. what you'll see more and less of in 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 vulg gar 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 un-american. we will talk more about that later. first jon karl is tracking all the latest fallout from washington. good morning, jon. >> reporter: good morning, george. just as the presi

bipartisan immigration deal, he blew it all up with a vulgar insult that has 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 a 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. the white house did not deny the president made the remarks. responding with a statement saying, president trump is fighting for permanent solutions that make our country stronger by welcoming those who can contribute to our society, grow

our great nation. but news of the president's crude insult 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. >> reporter: the first haitian-american elected to congress, mia love called on the president to apologizing saying his comments are unkind, divisive, elitist. jeb bush tweets, i hope today's comments were discuss a crass and flippant mistake and do not reflect racism. on the very first day of his campaign, he insulted mexicans. >> they're bringing drugs, they're bringing crime, they're rape i haves and some, i assume, are good people. >> reporter: in august he responded to violence at the flee joe nazi

charlottesville by saying there were fine people both among the protesters and the white supr e supremeists. >> you also had people would were very fine people on both sighs. >> reporter: the president's latest outburst came after he brought democrats and republicans together for a constructive meeting at the white house tuesday urging a deal to provide legal status to the so-called 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 yesterday's outburst it appeared that a deal was imminent. now that's in doubt. members of congress from both sides of the aisle were in attendance at yesterday's meeting when the president made his controversial remark and so far no comment from any of them. and now the president is up and tweeting, saying, quote, the so-called bipartisan daca deal presented yesterday to myself and a group of republican senators and congressmen was a g

wall was not properly funded. chain and lottery were made worse and the u.s. would be forced to take large numbers of people from high crime dot, dot, dot, so, george, i have to say this is coming as white house officials have said to me that they still believe that a deal on this is possible and, indeed, likely to happen but this certainly does not look like a president ready to strike a deal. >> people i've talked to on capitol hill much more pessimistic. stand by. we'll bring in cecilia vega our senior white house correspondent and matt dowd, 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, we've 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, south african ruling african national congress called this extremely offensive. take a look at what the former president of haiti said. he said, quote, t

unacceptable. uncalled for. moreover it shows a rack of respect and ignorance never seen before in the recent history of the u.s. by any president. enough is enough. what is being said at home, blatantly racist, vulgar, un-american. that is the resounding response of this from both parties right now. >> yeah, both parties right now and i have to say as we said we're not reporting the word right now. i think that's a mistake. i don't think it's right to censure the president or sugar coat it by how he revealed the word and i want to bring that to you right now. this has alarmed so many overseas right now and here in the united states. you're 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. i'm the great great grandson of patrick dowd, an immigrant who came here with no

words were used about his country and uses about latinos, 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 it's archie bunker and the only difference between the two of them is donald trump is president, has more money, but probably less class than archie bunker. >> jon karl, meantime, at this moment there are some in the white house, they haven't 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, it's striking, a lack of concern by those that we have spoken to at the white house about this. they think it's just much ado about nothing and this is the way normal people talk. it's just he's not politically correct. obviously that's not the reaction you're seeing in the real world. >> of course, cecilia, this is not the first time we've heard comments like 24 from the

mexicans are rapists, among the staunchest supporters of the idea that president obama was not born in this country. the list goes on and on. poke honor that, my african-american, he has called himself 9 least racist person but john hits the nail on the head. this was had behind closed doors and a lot would be embarrassed if something like this came out for the world to see for the most part here, the sores we're all talking to seem completely unfazed and perhaps are a little happy that the media, they would say, is hypervent lating over a controversy like this one. >> matt, unlike with charlottesville, it appears we are not not likely to get a clarification. where does it go next? >> well, that's a good question. i mean as i have a said before, george, donald trump is like wile e. coyote. every time you think he'll have success he blows himself up. i would suggest to him the next time he goes back to new york,

the statue of liberty and read the words which says give me your tired, your poor, your husbandled masses of your teeming shore. 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 he's canceled his trip to great britain. >> reporter: yeah, he was supposed to be going next month. this is extraordinary. he's saying he's not going because he is upset that the new u.s. embassy in london was too expensive. more than a billion dollars 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. >> quite a remarkable time in politics right now. we do want to move to that winter storm that's on the move. it caused those devastating mudslides in california. it is wreaking havoc on the midwest and now it's roaring east with snow, heavy rain and strong winds and, ginger, the dangerous weather spans from texas to

>> 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 suck, that's for sure. >> reporter: this car in missouri losing traction on the inner state swerving across i-29 with a fresh 2 to 4 inches doing a full 180 before coming to rest on the shoulder. >> it's 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 it's not just snow

mid-michigan say back through ft. wayne and into misbut it's snow plus ice. when that freezing rain comes down and hits the subfreezing air or surfaces and it freezes on contact and that's when you get that accumulating ice and that's what we're concerned about even going into tonight. new york city, heavy rain and thunderstorms, raleigh could hear thunder overnight. 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 you're 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 immanuals 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: that's right, michael. when you see those before and

understand why. that order affects 10,000 people basically all of montecito and one of the major reasons for that are hazards. they are everywhere. we found in this morning. want you to listen. that's a gas main. it has been spewing gas here for i guess four days and you can tell how sticky this mud is. most of montecito has become uninhabitable. the major freeway here has been closed down. obviously there's no gas. there's no electricity. there's no water here and the major concern for search and rescue teams are those hazard, pitfalls. this is an affluent community and pools everywhere and spray painted that. the concern is searchers would walk in there and sink up to their necks so they want to clear this area of residents so they can continue to look for the 43 people still believed missing, michael. >> 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 practically it

one of just a recovery effort. there are 17 known victims at this point. they range from the age of 3 to 89. now, i want you to see the power of these mudslides, what they did to these vehicles on the beach just crushing them into small balls. and when you look at this you can understand why rescuers are saying to folks that they're not going to be back here for at least two weeks and it could take months to dig out of all this. michael. >> all right, thank you, matt. made those cars look like nothing. >> so much devastation. we want to turn to the political scandal that's making national headlines. the governor of missouri who is considered to be a rising tar in the republican party, he's under investigation over an extramarital affair and allegations that he threatened his mistress. abc's david wright is here with the story and, david, the governor has admitted to this affair but denying any criminal wrongdoing in good morning, paul lamp the city of st. louis is now vowing to thoroughly investigate these allegations which the local prosecutor calls very troubling.

did nothing illegal. but that's 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 i'm 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 know 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 by her ex-husband secretly she claims greitens tied her up and blindfolded her. quote, i saw a flash through the blindfold and he said, you're never going to mention my name, otherwise, there will be pictures of me everywhere. governor greitens admits the affair but denies ever

the picture or trying to blackmail anyone adding, any allegation of violence is completely false. it never happened. >> it's 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 america's 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? time to ride the trump train into the governor's mansion. he's 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, that's a soap opera. we don't need any more soap

legislative. >> it caused him 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 didn't notice, the overall of your news feed overnight they're 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. what is facebook actually trying to do. >> it's happening right now. so facebook is going old school. they are going back to their roots. it is flashback friday but flashback friday 24/7 because they want you to see your friends and family in your feed so they're focusing on the baby picture, the puppy pics. posts about your major life events and pushing aside some of that content that we spend more time passively scrolling through in the feed like articles and viral videos from

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 they're doing, around what consuming facebook does to us as people. and they've 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 we're doing things in society. they believe based on their research that interacting with your friends and family and having these personal interacts on facebook can actually be good for your health. good for your health. >> good for your health, facebook. but we're not about what could happen. these are happening. >> they are in process so people waking up this morning we looked at a number of our facebook feeds. you'll see stuff like friends and family, baby pictures and see more of that right away but it's also something that w

we are back with those new details and a report about mark wahlberg's demands to reshoot that film "all the money in the world" raising questions about the pay gap between him and his female co-star michelle williams and diane macedo has the latest. >> quite a big pay gap. wahlberg was paid 1.5 million while williams made less than a thousand dollars and now we're learning why. wahlberg reportedly had co-star approval in his contract so when it came time to approve kevin spacey's replacement he used that to his advantage, big time. >> do not have the money to spare. >> reporter: overnight another scandal surround ridley scott's kidnapping drama "all the money in the world." >> i don't have any money. >> reporter: "usa today" reports that mark wahlberg refused to approve christopher plummer as the last-min

kevin spacey unless wahlberg was paid $1.5 million to reshoot his scenes. wahlberg's lawyer reportedly vetoed plumber 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 types more for the reshoot than michelle williams. 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 award shows season it had to start nine days after spacey was accused of sexual misconduct by several men. so williams said she did everything she could to make it happen. >> i received a phone call from a producer. he said please don't talk to anybody about this. we're still trying to hatch this. we'll 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 i'll give you back my salary if that would help and i'll give you my thanksgiving break if that would help.

williams wasn't told that wahlberg's team had negotiated the hefty reshoot fee for them. 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 says this is so messed up that it is almost hard to believe, almost. so far no comment from wahlberg or his management company. this created quite a discussion. williams told us she essentially offered to donate her time and it's hard to fault wahlberg's team for being good negotiators. on the other hand it's hard to look at two people doing the same job. she's the one with the golden globe nomination and getting paid a fraction. >> and they're both represented by the same agency and the agency doesn't even say, hey, there's a disparity here. there's inequity. >> the implication is that she was under the impression that everyone was doing it for free and that she didn't know that he had made this big negotiation that may or may not have changed things. we don't know but they are represented by the same people which is what some people are focusing on here.

the last of it. >> probably not. >> thank you, diane. coming up as the flu spreads and schools shut down across the country, how to keep your kids healthy in the classroom.

to spread in class? well, 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 we put on your hands. >> you can't usually see it. only under ultraviolet light and one hour after putting the powder on two students it spread to every single child in that classroom. >> right here. >> look at that. >> we brought in family dr. mike voshofski and he said all that could be due to sharing. >> oh, look at that. >> kids love to share pencils and toys. when that happens you'll have a lot of germ interaction as well. >> reporter: but also striking, most of the children transferred the powder to their fays where it can enter the body. >> you can see you rubbed your nose. >> this is interesting. >> reporter: dr. mike reminds us it didn't travel just by

but by air too. >> you're not accounting for the amount of germs coming out from their mouth when they're 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 they're clean. >> important they spend enough time to do it. what's a song that every kid know, happy birthday. sing it twice through and that means you wash your hands long enough. >> if you haven't 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. that's really important because the first one is really a primer for the second one to work. >> all right, so why is this washing of the happens such a big deal here? because, folk, if you are your hands are dirty you might be okay and not get sick. what do we do all day we touch our faces all day. this is one of our co-workers at a

meeting we clocked him and he touched his face some 44 times. >> he didn't know he was being filmed. >> he had no idea he was doing this. had no idea so he does it that much and dr. ashton can tell you it's not just -- we tell kids don't put your hands in your mouth. >> you rub your eyes. >> he's this trouble. >> all the time. >> we are getting a lot of questions coming in on this. first a viewer said our family didn't get the flu vaccine. my-year-old has the flu. should i get the vaccine for my other son even though he has been exposexposed. >> vaccines in children, we need to clarify if they have never been vaccinated and 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 it's 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

you're 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. they only work in 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 two-day window so treatment should not be with4e8d because you're at 49 hours. >> another question. i have my children take mul multivitamins daily. does this help keep them healthier. >> such an important question and the people who like vitamins are going to be loathe to stop taking them. it's 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 and the verdict is still out. >> real quick we know it's dangerous to pregnant women, elderly and, ginger, i know you're -- >> terrified. >> trying to keep your son out of school. >> my 2-year-old goes to nursery three hours two days a week but i don't want him to be there like this. is that crazy? >> that is an individual decision but i will tell when you it comes to pregnancy high risk population for complications and deaths. the only patient i ever had "die a happy man"ed of influenza while pregnant. i take it seriously. i will make a house call. >> my goodness gracious. don't scare me. >> go wash your hands. >> doc, thank you. very helpful. appreciate that. >> my goodness. our iphone challenge. we'll drop the new and most expensive iphone ever made

using a slur that we cannot use on the air calling them, quote, blank countries, it's prompting bipartisan backlash including this tweet from representative mia love, a republican and the first haitian-american elected to congress. she called the president's words unkind, divisive, elitist and fly in the face of our nation's values. now, the president is acknowledging using tough language but seems to be denying that's 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, it's something of a denial but it's 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 it's a huge setback for any deal on dacament maybe even provokes a

>> 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 take home pay beginning as early as next month. rebecca jarvis is back and, rebecca, can you break it all down for us. >> that's 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 it's 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 take home 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 that's about $540 more in their

paychecks. >> a lot of good news and know in the wake of it a lot of companies were disbursing bonuses. how will they be taxed. >> they will be taxed slightly less according to the irs. right now it's 25%. that will move to 22%, so that's 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 take home pay as soon as february. plus, some consumers here and this is interesting, some consumers might see a break. we've heard from a number of utility companies who say they will pass those tax savings along to their customer. >> that's a bonus. >> it is. >> big bonus. a lot of good news coming out of that report today for a lot of people. thank you. now we switch gears to that major winter storm that's moving east this morning. after leaving that trail of destruction in california, with alerts from texas to maine, ginger, what is the latest on this storm's path? >> oh, my goodness, so difficult this morning for driving in places like mississippi all the way to michigan but look at salina, kansas, where wins were

gusting to 40 miles per hour with that snow. in northwest missouri slipping and sliding all over the interstate and in chippewa county, wisconsin, also major, you know, terrible images coming out of there thanks to the snow and wind. remember, if you're in louisiana or texas, you're still dealing with the wind up through ohio, western pennsylvania and maine. it will impact a lot of people and happening now through tomorrow morning and really tomorrow afternoon up to a half inch of ice, guys. that's the part that maybes it extra dangerous, not just the snow. >> okay, ginger, thanks very much. coming up parenting alert about teens and those detergent pods. >> and our iphone challenge dropping apple's most expensive phone yet from three different heights. we'll see how it holding up and personally it's not my phone. lara, what's going on upstairs. >> we have a great studio audience and excited about camila cabello. she is with us live performing for you on "good morning america."

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 we're just showing freeze frames. this cops as the american association of poison control centers says there's been a steep spike of teens misusing m them. there are 40 cases so far and counting. >> it only takes a second for an everyday item to become dangerous. >> reporter: this isn't 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

consciousness. >> reporter: and that's not all. consuming these can be lee that will. >> currently we are aware of about ten deaths since laundry pods came out into the market many years ago. >> reporter: tide's parent company projector and gamble tells abc news nothing is more important to us than the safety of the people would 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 call the local poison center. or you can text poison to 797979. 1-800-222-1222. they're designed to dissolve when wet. just putting them into your mouth can be dangerous. >> nothing funny about this challenge. >> most important thing, don't do it in the first place. >> seems obvious. you almost don't 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. thank you. we'll now go to our iphone drop challenge. something i hate to d

it never seems to work out well and the iphone x is apple's most advanced and expensive phone ever. it's got glass on the front and glass on the back. becky worley dropped the phone from three different heights including the three-story building and, becky, how are you doing? how did that work out? >> not so well. but, hey, you know, you're not alone. cell phone repair is a $4 billion industry. so to evaluate the iphone x we went tore a pocket drop, the selfie drop and, oh, no, drops to see how the iphone x held up. that sickening sound. ooh, a shattered screen. some tech bloggers worried about the iphone x priced at a thousand dollars a pop and both sides made of glass. how will it withstand drops we've come to dread? apple advertises on its website that all three of its new phone, the 8, 8 plus and x are built with the most durable glass ever in a

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 three-story drop, 28 feet. from the roof of this event ven 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 won't crack. it may. but from any higher than that i'm 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. i'm actually surprised.

our last phone an extreme drop from the rooftop. 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 three-foot drop to be about what we got and i thought that from the five-not drop, i thought we would see more damage but it turned out just fine. of course, the three-story drop, i think that's what i expected. >> it's not invincible. to check if any interior components have been damaged jessa jones of ipad rehab pull it apart. she puts them through a function test. loud speaker 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

screen and is making some rather odd noises. >> i'm pretty sure that's 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 survived a monumental drop with fairly minor damage. >> reporter: jessa says even after the three drops, there's still one more challenge. >> i'm 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, i'm surprised it didn't crack on the front and back from three stories. that's pretty amazing itself. what is the best advice you're hearing about taking care of your phone? >> well, let's start with apple

apple's 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. >> whoo apple care makes it seam cheap. you know, we have some cases here and what are the best options 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. apple's leather case for 49 and more protective option is the speck presidio grip, $39.95. that's locking it down and tell you like other websites the wirecutter does get

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 i've already replaced a lot of phones and a lot of screens. i hopefully won't have to do it home because i'm taking this case home, everybody. ginger, hold your cell phone tight. we'll go over to you. >> don't drop it from three stories what we've learned today. time for your "gma" moment and i love this one because finley really knows how to get his husky howling. >> go. ooh.
