everybody. good morning, america. i'm robin roberts. >> and i'm george stephanopoulos. it's tuesday, july 20th. and this morning, it's still clogged. the government allows that cap to remain on the well for a fifth day, despite some leaks. is it time to kill the well for good? sarah palin dives into another controversy. this time, facing off with new york's mayor over plans for a mosque at ground zero. her choice of words, coming into question. we'll tell you why. lindsay lohan to jail. the actress starts her sentence today, after reports that her latest attorney has quit. we go inside the cell she'll call home for 90 days. and the new gold rush. is the country's top gold seller, endorsed by glenn beck and other conservatives, ripping off customers? a top executive of the company joins us live to respond to our abc news investigation.

and good morning, everyone. we are more than three months now into the oil leak. and all eyes still on that well, 5,000 feet below the surface of the gulf of mexico. those tiny bubbles remain a concern. but for now, at least, government scientists, keeping that giant cap on, as bp has yet another plan this morning to kill the well once and for all. another plan. >> another plan. but it's a variation of the top kill, that was looked at early on in the crisis. it's called bull heading. this crisis is sure to be front and center when president obama meets with british prime minister david cameron. this is the first visit of the british prime minister to the united states. he arrived overnight. also in washington today, the senate should vote on that plan to extend unemployment benefits. looks like it's going to pass this time. it's crucial for 2.5 million

people whose benefits ran off during the standoff in congress. and the president was blistering in the rose garden. he took off on republicans, saying they've been holding up the benefits. republicans come back and say, democrats don't have a plan to pay for it. we're going to talk to one of them this morning. the founding member of the tea party caucus in the house, michele bachmann of minnesota. she'll be here live in a few minutes. we're going to begin with day 92 of the crisis in the gulf. matt gutman, once again, in buras, louisiana, for us, with the very latest. good morning, matt. >> reporter: good morning, robin. and that new plan is called the static kill. bp says it's very promising. of course, it's still in the design phases. it would have to be approved by the government first, which is much more concerned right now with not making the spill worse than it already is. this morning, new hope to kill this well, as early as this month. not yet approved, the plan would allow engineers to force-feet the well a thick cocktail of mud

and cement. all through the new stacking cap, this school bus-sized plug. because oil's not shooting out of the well, they could do it slowly and carefully. it's the latest in bp's long list of plans, 11 so far. following top kill, bottom kill and junk shot. >> if we can do the static kill, it should accelerate or at least complement and improve the relief well. >> reporter: the relief wells, the only proven way to end the leak, are closer to their target. but the first is three weeks away. and plan number ten? despite springing leaks, the cap was green lighted for a fifth day of tests, holding down that river of oil. these bubbles nearly ended that. >> we're looking for methane gas, which is sometimes a precursor of oil rising up through the formation. >> reporter: several leaks were found. a pair of them on the stacking cap itself. and another leak found two miles away, likely part of the natural seepage of oil into the gulf of mexico.

>> we do not believe this is consequential at this time. nor does it appear that the hydrate formation is inhibiting any operation of the capping stack. this is something we'll continue to monitor. >> reporter: and british prime minister, robin, david cameron arrived overnight in washington. he's to meet president obama today. topping the agenda is still afghanistan. but the president is to pressure cameron on bp, to get it to plug the well, pay the workers for compensation, and clean up the gulf. robin? >> a lot to do, as always. matt, thanks so much. joining us again live, is dr. michio kaku, host of "sci-fi science" on the science channel. thanks for being back. >> thank you, robin. >> you remain optimistic at this point. why? >> the good news is we have options. plan "a" is to cap the well and leave the cap in place. plan "b" is to siphon the oil if the cap doesn't work. that's the good news, the options.

the bad news, we're not sure which of the two will work. capping is great, but if the pressures drop, it means there's a leak some place. we're counting every bubble, coming from the sea floor, looking for a possible leak. the bad news is we're not sure whether plan "a" or "plan "b" is the best. >> if you get to make the call, which is the best of those two solutions? >> i think we should stick with plan "a" at the time. pressures are low. that could indicate a leak. bubbles are seen from the sea floor. but bubbles naturally come from the sea floor. i think we should keep the cap in place and just keep our fingers crossed that the pressure doesn't drop any further and we don't have sudden drops. a sudden drop means we have a heart attack. a sudden drop means a crack in the pipe. >> and everyone has said, you, too, about the relief wells, are weeks away. but they suspended work on them while that was going on. you feel that shouldn't have been the case?

they should continue working on the wells? >> possibly. there's a traffic jam with all of the activity taking place. they suspended the drilling of the relief well. but that's the gold standard. that's what you do. you cap the top, choke the bottom. that's how you tame this monster. i think we should continue with the relief well. in three weeks or so, we should know whether or not we can choke this well forever. >> we'll have you back. dr. kaku, thanks for your insight. george? >> okay, robin. we turn to the jobs crisis. the senate has voted to extend unemployment benefits today. and after three failed attempts, it looks like senate democrats should get the legislation passed this time. but that's little comfort to the long-term unemployed who passed the maximum time to receive benefits. claire shipman is here. they're called the 99ers because all benefits run out after 99 we weeks. and they're ranks are growing. >> reporter: their ranks are growing. and their anger and frustration is growing. this bill will extend the 26

weeks of benefits. if you've been out of work for 2 years or more, if you're a 99er, there's no hope in sight right now. president obama, in a rose garden offensive, surrounded by unemployed americans. >> they're not looking for a handout. they desperately want to work. just right now, they can't find a job. >> reporter: almost 15 million americans are out of work. but most striking, almost half of that number are the long-term unemployed. a level that hasn't been seen since the great depression. the hardest-luck cases, the so-called 99ers, who exhausted the maximum 99 weeks of unemployment benefits. today's legislation does not extend that limit. is there a solution for the 99ers? michigan senator, debbie stabenow, has become a tireless advocate for the unemployed. >> these are people who paid their taxes and followed the rules. they're in a situation not of their making. to say, well, we're tired of this. we think we'll not do it

anymore. it is outrageous to me. >> reporter: and the 99ers offer a new demographic portrait of the unemployed. many are professional, middle-aged, and totally unprepared for this turn. we found a demoralized construction worker at loose ends at home for four years, while his wife works. a schooled a administrator who was rejected for a job at mcdonald's. and an accounts specialist, with her two children. >> we're dying out. we're losing everything we have. and i may lose my home because i have no money. >> the wife comes home. i'm sitting here. you feel like you're not worth anything. >> i'm about as low as i can get. >> reporter: now, their numbers are growing so quickly, some economists argue, george, without helping them, that will hurt economic recovery. but with republicans arguing so strongly, that even this bill is fiscally irresponsible, there's no political consensus right now on helping the 99ers.

>> claire shipman, thanks very much. for more on this, we're going to turn to the founder of the new tea party caucus in the house, republican congressman michele bachmann of minnesota. thanks for joining us. president obama, you saw in the rose garden, very tough on your party. he took on those who, he said, have no problems on spending hundreds of millions of dollars on tax breaks for the wealthiest of americans. but that won't offer relief to the middle class. >> the best way to offer a relief to the middle class is to have a pro job growth economy. that's not his strategy. republicans aren't opposed to unemployment benefits. we're looking at $30 billion in unemployment. but it was democrats that made a big deal of the concept of pay go. they said they would not spend money unless they made cuts in other places. neither the president nor speaker pelosi has made an attempt to cut spending in order

to pay for the benefits. this is a basic function of government. so, it's important that they find other cuts in other places. but instead, george, what we've seen, they've continued to expand the long line of benefits in other areas. we need to make first things first. >> let's take a look at that principle. the tax cuts passed by president bush, are set to expire at the end of the year. i know you want to extend them. do you support paying for those, as well? >> i think we need to be paying for all of the spending that's going out. but when people are able to keep more of their own money, that shouldn't be considered a cost. >> so, that's a no? >> i think what we need to do is have a pro job growth formula. what that is, cut the dramatic government spending that has happened. this didn't happen in a vacuum. president obama spent over $1 trillion on stimulus. we were all promised that about 4 million jobs would be created. instead, about 4 million jobs were lost. then, president obama decided to

take over, through either direct ownership or control, one private industry after another. what we've learned is that the federal government takeover of private business leads to unemployment, not employment. >> let me be clear then -- >> your story's accurate. people want jobs. that's true. they don't want unemployment. but the government's policies have brought about failure in private job creation. >> to be clear, you're saying the tax cuts don't have to be paid for. but this unemployment extension does. let me turn to the new tea party caucus that was formed. you said it was designed to promote fiscal responsibility, adherence to the constitution and limited government. why do you think it's necessary? are leaders in the house not living up to that responsibility? >> well, what we've been hearing from people all over the country, george, is that congress is not listening to the american people. this is a forum for members of congress to be able to listen to what people have been trying to tell us. and it is very simple.

it's a banner that is under the idea of don't spend more than what you're taking in. people want the federal government to live just the way they do. and they want us to adhere to principles of the constitution, because people believe they're taxed enough already. this isn't a political party, like the republican party or democrat party. it's a set of ideas that, after all, members of congress, swore that they would uphold under the constitution. >> you also run the risk of taking on the controversy that goes with the tea party, as well. we saw the billboard in northern iowa last week, comparing president obama to hitler and lenin. expelling the tea party for making comments. you had to distance yourself from members of the tea party that were using holocaust imagery. are you worried that being more inline with the tea party, you might undermine the chance of republicans taking the house back in november? >> i think what we're trying to do more than anything, again, is to give a forum to the ideas that people have tried to talk to us about. most of the people who came to

washington, to rallies, and to town hall meetings across the country, are trying to get the attention of congress to say, would you please stop spending money that you don't have. the money is our money. that's what the people are saying. these are lawyers, doctors, small business owners, housewives, farmers. people from all walks of life, just saying, please, federal government, get your act together. and start acting in a way that will not leave us bankrupt and will create a pro-growth agenda here in america. >> we only have a few seconds. what did you think when you saw that billboard, comparing the president to hitler and lenin? >> some things aren't helpful. and to focus on the ideas of a pro-growth economy, living within our means, that's positive. that's what we hope to do in this caucus. >> congressman bachman, thanks for your time this morning. >> thanks, george. and juju chang has the rest of the morning's news. >> good morning, everyone. we begin with a new commitment

from afghanistan's president. hamid karzai told leaders in kabul this morning, his government should be capable of taking over security in the country by 2014. but violence continues. rocket fire diverted a plane carrying the u.n. secretary-general. toyota may be facing another safety investigation. this time involving possible steering problems. the company has been subpoenaed by a congressional grand jury. it's being called a game-changer in the fight against hiv/aids. researchers say a vaginal nell spiked with an antiviral medication, can reduce a woman's chance of infection by more than 50%. but it could be used before the jell is widely available. finally, wanted. the bouquet bandit. police in new york are looking for this man, who walked into a bank with flowers and walked out with cash. the bouquet demanded all of the bank's 100s and 50s.

he was nice enough to leave the flowers behind. police believe the same suspect tried the same thing a week earlier, with a potted plant. >> nice robber. that's a tough sell. >> exactly. >> juju, thanks. time for the weather. let's say good morning to sam champion. >> good morning, robin, george, juju. let's start with the heat. we've had weeks of it. it continues in the deep south. let's take memphis, for example. 15 of the last 19 days have been above normal. for them, that's about 92 degrees. think about 15 days above 92 degrees. that's the heat going on in the part of the country today. more than half of the country. goes all the way up to kansas city today. the line where we would draw the 90-degree temperatures right about there and everything south of it. even north of it, the temperatures are close to 80 degrees if not above it. here's where the strong storms will be. rapid city, kansas city, peoria, louisville, cincinnati. all wrapped up in that heat.

and coming up in the next half hour, another 90-degree day for new york. and gorgeous weather for the northwest coast, robin. >> looking forward to that. thank you, sam. now, to the brewing battle between sarah palin and new york city mayor michael bloomberg. mayor bloomberg supports building a muslim center just steps from ground zero. sarah palin says it would stop hearts. dan harris from the site of the proposed mosque. good morning, dan. >> reporter: good morning. behind me is the building where they want to build the muslim center. it would be open to everybody. it would include things like a gym and what they're calling a prayer center, which they insist is not a mosque. the organizers say sarah palin is mischaracterizing this project. and they're not the only ones reacting. >> this house of evil, will be the birthplace of the next terrorist event.

>> reporter: new york city was already aflame with this debate. >> why should there be a muslim place here? no. i don't support it. >> reporter: and then, came sarah palin. on twitter she said, peace-seeking muslims, please understand. ground zero mosque is unnecessary provocation. it stabs hearts. >> sarah palin has a right to her opinions. but i could not disagree more. >> reporter: mayor mike bloomberg, a supporter of the center, hit back. >> everything that the u.s. stands for and new york stands for, is tolerance and openness. >> reporter: so did daisy khan, a spokesperson for the center. >> it raises the question of what is at the heart of all of this furor. it's ignorance. >> reporter: it sounds like you're saying she's ignorant. >> i think she needs to educate herself who the muslim community is. >> reporter: this episode is

another example of the power that sarah palin has to generate buzz on just about any topic. a power that can be a double-edged sword. for example, her first tweet on this topic, which she later deleted said, peaceful muslim, please refudiate. critics pounced, saying refudiate is not a word. the satirical website is producing t-shirts. >> we want to refudiate miss palin by telling her, she is misinformed. >> reporter: palin is responding via twitter to refudiate-gate. she said, english is a living language. shakespeare likes to coin new words, too. now, critics are piling on, accusing sarah palin of

comparing herself to shakespeare. george and robin? >> thank you, dan, very much. coming up, one of the biggest sellers of gold that is endorsed by some popular conservatives, including glenn beck. but are they ripping off consumers. a top executive from the company joins us live. and a report from brian ross. and lindsay lohan goes to 5:00 a.m. wake-up sells. and lindsay lohan goes to 5:00 a.m. wake-up sells. her five by eight cells. and plus, why her latest attorney, robert shapiro, is calling it quits. pick. mom: look at all these fabulous geeks! there are so many! look at this one! it helps you video chat with mom! son: bingo! mom: look at this one. you can video chat with me, honey. son: mom, go get the car. mom: he's in such a hurry to learn. vo: buy any laptop and get geek squad support for six months. online. on the phone, or in-store.

this is a look at lindsay lohan's new home possibly for the next 90 days. we're going to take you inside the california jail where, starting today, she faces life in a 12-by-8 cell. plus, why her latest attorney, the well-known, highly-respected, robert shapiro, reportedly calling it quits, refusing to represent the star. we'll talk about that in just moments as we say good tuesday morning to you. i'm robin roberts. >> and i'm george stephanopoulos. she'll have to give up her cell phone and blackberry. only a pay phone in there. also this morning, one of the country's top sellers of gold coins. you see the ads all over cable television for goldline. but many goldline's customers say they were pushed to buy overpriced gold. in a moment we'll have a top

executive of the company to respond to brian ross' investigation. first, the latest drama for actress lindsay lohan. later this morning, she is set to begin what could be the most difficult role of her young life. a stint behind bars for violation of dui probation. this, as her new attorney reportedly calls it quits. mike von fremd is outside the jail where lindsay will be serving time in lynwood, california. >> reporter: on the day she must reported to jail the talented star has stirred up a legal controversy. her dream team attorney, robert shapiro, now, reportedly says, he will no longer represent the troubled actress. lohan reportedly agreed to give shapiro complete cooperation during her recovery. and was seen staying here, at pickford l forksofts, shapiro's

rehabilitation facility, as she agreed to go to jail. the actress and attorney had a major disagreement. >> typically, in this type of situation, the client is not following the advice of the attorney. so, the attorney goes, meets with the judge and says, i want off. >> reporter: the possible loss of this attorney does not change the fact that lohan is supposed to enter the los angeles county woman's jail today. it houses approximately 2,000 inmates. those who have been through the system say, the first day is the worst. >> it's something you'll never forget. when you get strip-searched, it takes away a lot of dignity. it's uncomfortable. you're not in the room by yourself. you're with other prisoners. >> reporter: lohan will wear an orange jump suit, sleep on a vinyl mattress in a 12-foot-by eight-foot cell and for her own protection, will bei isolated from other inmates. dana cole has visited many in this facility. >> it's not going to be the worst situation imaginable.

it's going to be boring, basically. >> she's coming after us. >> reporter: lohan is scheduled to be released from jail, in time for the premiere of the movie "machete" in which she plays a pistol-packing nun. and there's a poster for a future movie, where she plays adult film star linda lovelace. for the record, shapiro says the only comments he will make will be held in open court. all this drama may be making hollywood producers think long and hard before casting lindsay lohan again. robin? >> i think that's the least of her problems right now. thank you, mike. for more, we turn now to former prosecutor, robin sax. robin, thank you for getting up and joining us this morning. if it is true that bob shapiro is no longer representing lindsay lohan, what do you make of that? >> well, it's not surprising that robert shapiro's had trouble holding lindsay under control. that's been a big problem for my sources in her prior counsel, getting her to succumb to the process, realizing she has a

problem, and listening to the orders. he probably said, if you're not going to do it my way, you can do it your way. but you can twist in the wind alone. >> he made it clear when he took her on as a client she had to follow restrictions. he's been through this, with his son. he knows firsthand, how difficult it is for a young person to go through this. will this delay anything, with lindsay lohan set to go to jail? >> lindsay would love this to be a delay here today but i doubt judge revel is going to allow this to delay the chapman. there's no doubt that shawn chapman should have needed to come to court today. with or without a substitution of attorney form which we're hearing in the news as being some sort of big deal, which it's really not, is that the court would actually have to

relieve shawn chapman holley has counsel. she could have denied that motion. i think she's going into custody today. >> what was the purpose of today's court hearing? usually you head right to jail. what was the purpose of having to go to court today first? >> judge marsha revel kindly gave lindsay lohan a couple of weeks to get her affairs in order. normally she would have been reprimanded at the last hearing date. in order to get her affairs in order, they scheduled a new court date. they have to put it on the calendar and go through the whole thing again. she wril be remanded into lockup at the courthouse and taken to lynwood. >> robin sax, thank you very much. >> thank you. >> so many of you have been weighing in on our message boards. continue to do so on our shoutout board, at abcnews.com/gma. it's 7:35. time for the weather and sam. >> good morning, robin. we're going to start with pictures of flooding. all this was in wisconsin, west

companies, including one organization, called goldline, that sells hundreds of millions of dollars worth of gold to american consumers every year. using two former presidential candidates and several top personalities at fox news in its sales pitches. >> thank you for calling goldline. >> reporter: when customers call goldline, located in this building in santa monica, california, they are assured they're in good hands. >> mr. beck is a client here. >> reporter: fox news talk show host, glenn beck, makes no secret of his endorsement of gloeldline. >> the people i trust are the people at goldline. >> reporter: in fact, the goldline website, features a who's who of conservative commentators who endorse the company, including former presidential candidate, fred thompson. >> goldline. >> reporter: and former presidential candidate, mike huckabee. >> the people at goldline will explain just how easy it is for you buy gold. >> reporter: but for all the endorsements and fancy sales

brochures, they're investigating the company. many say the salesmen steered them to buy overpriced gold coins. >> false and misleading statements. and also, people not getting what they expected to get. >> reporter: joe martin of suburban detroit, said he lost almost half of the $5,000 he invested with goal goldlines because he said, the salesman pressured him to buy gold canes, not the gold bullion that he saw on television. when he went to sell his gold coins, he was only about able to get $2,900 at a coin 1407. >> i only get paid once a month. it hurt my pocket real bad. >> reporter: congressional

investigators say goldline uses glenn beck to steer customers to coins, citing beck's warnings that only gold coins are safe from government confiscation. >> in 1933, fdr said we're going to take all your gold. >> reporter: a theme picked up by goldline people, taped by a watchdog group. >> it's not true that the government has any power to confiscate your gold. and often, the same commentators that are stoking that fear are also selling these coins. >> reporter: glenn beck told us, he believes in goldline. and points to its a-plus rating from the better business bureau. fox news says it has never received a single complaint about goldline. and goldline remains a prominent advertiser on the network, despite the ongoing investigations in los angeles and by congress, which now plans hearings in the coming weeks. george? >> brian, thanks. we're joined by the

executive vice president of goldline, scott carter. thanks for flying in for this. >> thanks for having me. >> let's begin with the two allegations at the heart of the investigation. that your salespeople made false and misleading statements during the pitch. a and that that steer people to buy the gold coins instead of bullion. brian ross talked to someone who said that's how they're trained. >> that's not accurate. we sell tens of millions of dollars of not only gold bouillon, of coins of collector value. and the ultimate decision is to the consumer that is calling us. there's features and benefits of coins with collector value that's of interest to them. one, they're made by governments, not private mints, which is important. they're easily recognizable, whether they're british sovereign or a swiss 20 franc. that's important, as well. they come in fractionalizes. when individuals want to buy in smaller quantities or they want

to liquidate, sometimes they prefer to buy in smaller sizes. >> they are a markup for goldline, no question about that. for example, if i buy $1,000 in those collector coins from you today. a month later, i say, i just want to sell them. i'm not going to get anything close to $1,000 back. i will only get $600 or $700 back, right? >> we would encourage you not to do that. >> because we would only get $600 back. >> that's a great point. when you're buying a physical asset, like if you're buying a piece of real estate. there's up-front expenses. in our business, you're buying a physical asset. we have to ship the product. you're talking to someone on the telephone. what we instruct individuals in our risk disclosure, which is very important, is that, one, this needs to be a liquid investment. and it should be a diversification strategy. no more than 5% to 20% of your

portfolio. you should hold this for three to five years. if you're a speculator -- >> your salespeople are not investment advisers. and one of the reasons for that is so they can avoid regulation by state regulatory authorities and the s.e.c. they don't have the legal and fiduciary responsibility to look out for the customer. >> you're absolutely right. we are not legal advisers. but they do understand precious metals. and individuals are calls to diversify their portfolio. gold is one component of a portfolio that's important. we've been in business for 50 years. we've been doing this for a long time. we take great pride in how we treat our customers. we take great pride in the a-plus rating we have. we extend in our sales process and service process. maybe it's helpful if i talk about our sales process.

three, quick points. we're not an outbound call center. we only take initial calls in-bound. so, a customer has to respond to one of our ads before we even talk to them. there's no cold calling out. so, they're responding to an ad we put on tv that highlights the coins that are most popular. >> right. but one of the things that comes out in the ads, you just saw the glenn beck endorsement, talking about fdr confiscating gold. your sales packets include a facsimile of that order. you heard the congressman say, the government can't come in and confiscate your gold. you don't believe that the government can confiscate people's gold, do you? >> it's hard to determine what the government will do. in 1933, under executive order, shortly after fdr came to office, that's exactly what was done. >> he paid market price at the time. >> he paid $20 an ounce when someone turned in their gold.

it's often not reported that months after that, the price of gold was moved up to $35 an ounce. that was a nice hair cut, devaluation of the currency -- >> you think that's a live possibility right now? >> i think that, i don't know whether it's a possibility. but the fact that it's been done before. and individuals right now are concerned about currencies, declining dollar value. many articles in the paper -- are paralleling 1933 to today. >> okay. scott carter, thanks very much for your time today. ♪

you're making up for it, aren't you? we'll have more weather from times square in the next half hour. robin? george? >> sam, thanks. we're going to get to the controversial, new marriage study now. it found that if your friends get divorced, your chances of also divorcing also go up 147%. i guess they say that misery loves company for a reason. could this study mean that divorce is contagious? juju has more on this story. >> reporter: for more than three decades, dan trimble thought he had a picture-perfect marriage. >> the 32 years that we were married, for the most part, were very good years. >> reporter: two, beautiful daughters. a life of adventure. >> we were traveling all over the world. >> reporter: but dan says, all that changed, about two years ago, when his daughter, alycia, and his grandchildren moved back home. alycia soon divorced her husband. and began dating a high school friend. >> she had gotten out of a bad situation. now, her life was starting to improve.

>> reporter: dan and his daughter believe that alycia's divorce and new life, in a way, inspired dan's wife. a month after alycia got remarried, her mom asked dan for a divorce. >> seeing how i came through it in a better place, kind of pushed them to stand up and say, i'm not happy in my own marriage. >> the best way i can describe it is it's just a disease. my marriage was in kind of a rough shape at that point in time. she saw what was happening with our oldest daughter. and i think it kind of was a catalyst. >> reporter: can divorce spread like a virus? a disease through a family or a group of friends? professor james fowler says yes. >> it spreads in the same way. when one person experiences divorce, it gives the people around them information about what that's like. >> reporter: for more than ten years, fowler and his colleagues have studied the social connections among thousands of people. demonstrating that problems like

smoking, drinking, even weight gain, can all be spread through a group. >> your friends influence you. also, your siblings influence you. even your co-workers influence you. when they get divorced, increases the likelihood that you'll get divorced. >> reporter: in fact, they say being friends with someone who gets divorced can make you 147% more likely yourself. and remember dan trimble? it turns out, his youngest daughter, courtney, now says, she, too, is getting divorced. >> that same contagious thing that transferred from alycia and her situation, to my former spouse and me, transferred right on down the line to courtney and her spouse. >> my sister's my best friend. so, to know that she made it through, definitely helped me realize that it wasn't something i couldn't handle. and for more on this, we're joined by our family therapist,

terry real, who is not a huge fan of this study. terry, i see you chuckling there. tell us what you think is wrong with it. >> well, you know, there may be some influence here. but if you're getting a divorce, there's already a stigma, george. you need friends. your friends need to be close to you. telling somebody that a divorcee is contagious and their divorce is going to cause your divorce, i think is really not very helpful to anybody. >> well, i take your point. but let me push back a little bit. part of the whole reason for a marriage ceremony in public is that the whole idea that everybody is there to reinforce the bonds of marriage. and to help you keep and stay married. and i think if the norm of divorcing, if it just seems like that's what everybody's doing, it does seem to have an influence, doesn't it? >> they're not saying you get divorced if everybody's doing it. they say you get divorced if you know one person who does it. and they say the odds go up

147%. it's like teen suicide, which is very worrisome. once you know somebody who actually walks through the door of divorce, it does bring it from the theoretical, back home to roost. so, yes, i do think there may be some influence, as was said. people feel like, well, if harry doesn't put up with blah, blah, blah, maybe i shouldn't put up with it, too. that's a long way from saying there's some influence. and saying you have close to 150% increased rate. >> it's putting that kind of a number on it that you strongly disagree with. >> it's pretty incredible. >> right. if do people see marriages in their families or friends falling apart, what tips do you have for how they can keep their marriage stable and strong? >> if you are rocked by somebody in your circle getting a divorce, the first thing i want you to do is, don't keep it to yourself. talk about it. put your fears and your feelings on the table. don't be afraid to ask your spouse for reassurance. this has rocked me. i'd like some reassurance. the second thing is, deal with

your issues. use this as an opportunity. take whatever you've swept under the rug. bring it on the table and deal with it. if you're in a bad place. if you've tried to deal with issues and don't get anywhere with it, don't be afraid to get professional help and use that help. >> terry, thanks very much. there's more advice on our website, abcnews.com. also, all this week, we're starting a new series with our contributors and correspondents, aimed at saving you and your family serious money this summer. they're quick tips. and our becky worley has some smart ones that will save you money. becky? >> you need a deal on a rental car this summer? i have quick tips to help you save big. look for car membership codes. two, try renting from off-airport locations. especially on the weekends. three, prepay when you book the rental. you get a discount from paying up front. and what about insurance coverage? go to abcnews.com/gma. i'll tell you once and for all if your credit card will give you the coverage you need. drive safe and have fun.
