7:02 am
history and now millions are concerned about the air quality. >> such a dangerous situation and we start with breaking news on health care that will affect millions across the country. overnight the president decided to end obamacare papers that subsidize payments for poor and working class americans. it will cut insurance coverage. jon karl has all the latest. good morning, jon. >> reporter: good morning, george. this is president trump's biggest move yet to dismantle obamacare. if congress does not intervene it is a step that will mean higher health insurance premiums for millions of lower income americans. in a decision announced overnight, president trump plans to stop making billions of dollars in subsidies that help lower income americans pay for their insurance. they help about 7 million people defray the cost of their health insurance policies. it's the latest move by the president to do through executive action what he could not get congress to do, dismantle obamacare. >> the cost of the obamacare has
7:03 am
been so outrageous it is absolutely destroying everything in its wake. >> reporter: in a statement overnight the white house said it determined the payments are unlawful. the congressional budget office has said that ending them will immediately increase the number of americans without any health insurance. the latest action by the president comes just hours after he signed an executive order designed to open the door for insurance companies to offer stripped down health plans. they would cost less but also cover less. >> today is only the beginning. in the coming months we plan to take new measures to provide our people with even more relief and more freedom. >> reporter: the move to end the subsidies was praised by speaker of the house paul ryan who said obamacare has proven itself to be a fatally flawed law and the house will continue to work with the trump administration to provide the american people a better system. but democratic leaders nancy pelosi and chuck schumer cond n
7:04 am
condemned the move saying it is a spiteful act of sabotage. now millions of hard working american families will suffer just because president trump wants them to. the president is already out on twitter this morning defending his move tweeting, quote, the democrats obamacare is imploding. massive subsidy payments to their pet insurance companies has stopped. dems should call me to fix. as you saw in that statement from nancy pelosi and chuck schumer the call is in saying that democrats are horrified by this move. he think it will mean less -- fewer people insured and more people paying much higher health insurance premiums on the lower income side. >> interesting use of the pass taft. he stopped the payments. now he said the democrats should fix it. in another matter, chief of staff john kelly for the first time coming to the briefing room saying i'm not getting fired.

>> george, it's another one of those i've never seen anything like it moments here in the trump white house. there have been so many stories about discord and dissension in the west wing and about kelly's deep frustration with his inability to control the president. but he came out and said it's not his job to control the president. that he thinks this is the most important job he's had, the most challenging job and he's not quitting or getting fired any time soon. >> seemed pretty relaxed in the briefing room, jon karl, thanks very much. the president is set to deliver a major speech today on the fate of america's nuclear deal with iran. president trump has consistently called it terrible for the u.s. and our chief global affairs correspondent martha raddatz is in washington with more. martha, what can we expect here? >> reporter: well, robin, in fact president trump called it the worst deal ever but the president is not expected to walk away from the nuclear deal, which lifted punishing sanctions on iran in exchange for limits on and inspections of its
7:06 am
nuclear program. instead he is expected to decertify the deal. that would kick it back to congress to decide whether to reimpose sanctions but congress, robin, really has no appetite to do this. >> but it sounds though -- seems like a compromise of some sort. >> reporter: it does because this way he can say he did something about the deal but not completely rip it up which would infuriate the others who signed on to the deal but this will still be seen as very controversial, robin. >> all right, martha, and george will be anchoring abc's live coverage of the president's remarks on iran today starting at 1:45 eastern. >> we'll be back for that. we get the latest on the wildfires in california. winds set to pick up again spreading smoke and ash and right now 21 fires are burning scorching nearly 200,000 acres. at least 31 people have died. linzie janis is on the scene in santa ani santa rosa, good morning. >> reporter: the fate that so many face. if they manage to get out alive

7:09 am
as if losing everything wasn't enough, the people who live here are not allowed to come back. firefighters say it's simply too dangerous and they don't have the manpower to bring them here. but this is a lovingly landscaped backyard and there is treasure in this debris. right here a sign with the family's name on it. robin. >> all right. thank you very much, linzie. we go to ginger. you have more on those new threats of wind. >> yes, wind and very low humidity. it's all coming for you this weekend so the pattern is setting up estimate larry, unfortunately. but that air quality is so bad some people saying it's as bad or worse than beijing thanks to the northerly wins that have blown over the bay area. schools are closed for a second day in a row in some places and people, a construction worker wearing a mask because it's that bad. walking down the road in san francisco with masks on and quickly the red flag warnings have taken over. it will be more of an offshore flow in southern california as we get into sunday, those humidity levels below 10%,

8:21 am
>> most of all jimmy. >> he knows he has a platform. >> and has used it well. >> you can see "jimmy kimmel live" tonight on abc and as you heard jimmy kimmel, live from brooklyn, all next week and we cannot wait for that. ginger, we'll head over to you. >> yes, what a crowd we have up here. i don't get it see you guys all that often. the it's going to be a great weekend to get outdoors especially in new hampshire. look at the images from the gondola there. it's so pretty. that's little mountain. we have one more from snow where the snow boarders will be in a short of time from now. we'll take all that color while we got it. that's the big picture let's look closer to home. >> reporter: if you're heading to the poconos this weekend, the northeast extension will be closed north of the lehigh tunnel. you'll need extra time.

8:23 am
disease. true or false. got a lot of trues. a lot of trues. a couple false. >> we have a good audience so the answer is true. this is the number one killer of men and women in this country and in the world. the bad news is there are a lot of risk factors that are existing right now. the good news is you can see some of them, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, smoking, some pregnancy complications like gestational diabetes an i want to point out and take a look at this picture, you guys. there is a condition called acanthis. hosis, darking or velvety appearance behind the neck or armpits or groins. that is not dirt, so if you see that on yourself or someone else, get checked for diabetes because that is one of the biggest modifiable risk factors for preventing heart disease. >> can food help in this regard too? >> oh, absolutely. so what i want to highlight here is that this beautiful plate actually can help reduce the risk of many diet related chronic illnesses.
8:24 am
i'll focus on heart disease. for that it's all about reducing the added sugars. we know when you eat more added sugars you have more circulating fat in your bloodstream, right. so what we're going to say here is focus on things that are cardio protective like this gorgeous salad with a little bit of avocado and berries here, berries over here, as well. >> all right. let's go to our next question for our great audience. are you ready? do you have your paddles? question number two, the number of people living with dementia is 47 million worldwide. that number will double in 2050. true or false? will double in 2050? y'all, you think, true? >> okay. >> think again. >> this is kind of -- a trick question. you've right it's all going up but it's false because it's actually going to triple. so this is something to be clear, dementia is a form of memory issue, cognitive decline and can affect our day-to-day
8:25 am
life. alzheimer's is the most common. there are risk factors we break up in mid-life, again, high blood pressure, obesity, hearing loss is an associated risk factor. when you get to later life you're talking about things that are a lot of times under our capacity to modify, smoking, depression, being physically inactive. being socially isolated and, again, diabetes. so that is the good news is that there are things that are good for the heart also good for the brain. >> and good news diet is concerned for this. >> there's always good news with diet. one of the things we look at is anti-inflammatory foods. we want to cut pro-inglamty foods and focus on foods that help increase healthy blood flow to the brain. here what we're going to see is nice healthy lean proteins, but i'm going to focus on the nuts and the seeds, right? again, as well as the avocado. now, alcohol comes into play. a glass of red wine in moderation, the recommendation if you are a drinker is one glass for women, two for men. i have to point out you can't
8:26 am
save up till the end of the week, right? it's not like saturday you can have -- >> why are you looking at me when you say that. >> i'm just saying. definitely not. >> okay. we just have like 30 seconds left. cancer. >> the cancer, the bottom line you guys is that 40% of cancer is attributed to obesity so, again, all of these things that are good for the heart, good for the brain can cut your risk of at least ten different types of obesity-related cancer. >> final word. >> get those veggies in. look at this plate. more than half your plate is vegetables. get it. >> my favorite. >> me too. >> i'm going to do that as well. >> you know what i like. >> yeah, robin.

8:41 am
we are back with our fashion fix. the denim lab with "good housekeeping's" lori bergamotto. thank you, lori, for being here. thank you so much. >> thank you. >> it's so tough with the black jeans. >> i know. this happens to me all the time. you buy a pair, right, everyone. you wash them and all of a sudden they're like gray jeeps. they're no longer black so old navy came out with this pair of jean, robin and claim you can wash them up to 20 types without them fading. right? so at the "good housekeeping" institute that was the appropriate reaction. in our textiles lab we tested this out and washed these jeans 20 times and compared them to 11 other pairs of jeans so you can see this is a pair that faded. they really had virtually no change. the old navy ones and it's
8:42 am
thanks to they were double dyed and so because of that there's a black reactive dye this here that allows them to maintain their color longer. >> is there something we should look for? >> definitely. so when you're buying jeans, this particular pair has something special in them but just if you want to maintain the color of dark denim you want to buy a detergent that is specialized for dark fabrics because it has special ingredients in there that will allow the -- it will deactivate the chlorine in water which can really be detrimental to the color of your jeans. you always want to wash them in cold as well and inside out as well. >> here we have kids are really, really tough. >> tell me about it. >> on their jeans. i feel like all of my paycheck goes to buying my kids new jeans because they're constantly. >> especially the knees. >> they're always on the floor, running around, playing on the playground so lands' end has this patch reinforced. can you feel it for me. it doesn't feel like anything,
8:43 am
right? it's like an invisible patch, an iron knee has the "good housekeeping" seal as well and what it does it's a reinforced patch so it doubles the durability of this area so that kids can play longer, and can be on the floor without ripping such a vulnerable area. >> okay, so the kids are all covered how about us big ones. >> does this happen to you where it bags out in the knee and call it elephant knee. always happens to me. the way you combat that look for a pair of jeans with spandex in them. otherwise known as lycra or ee la last tick. think about spandex when you stretch it, it pops -- >> when i get the stretchy ones then all of a sudden they tart bagging out. >> i know. i know. >> it's a major problem as you can tell. what about here? >> so another problem, you know, ripped jeans are really big trend right now but i think that when you buy a pair of ripped
8:44 am
jeans, if you snag into something, you're worried they're going to completely rip so, robin, if you will do me this favor. first we show you -- you're going to get down and dirty. this is a regular pair of jeans, we made a little snip here. can you rip that for me. oh, wow. that is some serious strength right there. >> okay. >> okay. and this is from the gap. this is their indestructible denim. made that same snip. try to rip those. give it all your strength, robin. see. >> no kidding. >> we even had your -- >> billy decouldn't do this? he's one of our prop guys. basically these jeans have something called dynema, tougher than steel. i mean that's pretty amazing so it's 300% more resistant to abrasion and you can rest assured that whether you buy the jeans or the jacket it is indestructible indeed. >> as you are as well. lori, thank you very much. >> thank you.
