of, oklahomans are been taking care of. the military, a day since the day of the tornado. so they could not give in until about three days ago, the insurance adjusters. we have basically an insurance bill is set up, which easily th first time this has ever and that in a major catastrophe where homeowners he come to one place and get their climb started at the first baptist church of more which has been very, very efficient. gerri: boy, you had a big disaster. of course it is early in the process. the insurance agents have been on site for about three days. lots of time to go. the debris removal was about to begin. would you tell people on the ground there who are making claims. what should they get done befor that debris is removed? >> one of the things is that th area is pretty much entirely devastated. these lots are of a large portion of that will be telling

scrapes with enemy being with the city of more . really coming out with a very clear bulletin for consumers to understand exactly how that debrrs removal is going to work in partnership with the mob. they need to get it to 15 to 20 feet of the right of way, and then that will be picked up to. a very efficient process. gerri: so much stuff. so much material that, you know personal effects of people out there. chip, to you, you know, john wa asking what the problems or out there. he is not seeing any. what i am seeing having covered the industry for a long time is insurance policies were rewritten well ahead of the storm because of the kinds of losses that insurance companies have had, from big tornadoes, but thunderstorms, trying to reduce the amount of money that

they have to lay out. jim, what are you hearing about oklahoma? >> it is too early to tell righ now. your nose. only three days away from it. you can't say it's going horribly because the insurance companies have not been put to tested. how quickly and getting money t the policyholders, and what are they doing proactively? investigate and evaluate the full amount of damage. right now all that debris will be taken away. just like you said, content, al kinds of parts of the building. people need to be out there taking photographs and videotap before august taken away is tha is evidence in their favor, not the insurance company's favor. gerri: as you know, president obama was a new jersey, and the state is very proud of saying that they are clearing out claims, $90 a defensive been closed. but is that those story there? >> that is an unbelievable statistic.

when you gonna feel that as the book, is there clarendon, or you'll find is there getting a pay -- paid a part in the insurance companies may save disclose their trying to seek more. we were hearing the federal flood insurance pro has been extraordinarily slow and does not play their -- pay everythin that people loss in the storm. our residents to a business, across the board we hear that and we hear people like getting paid the full amount of money from low one thing may need. the claims a close, yes. gerri: one. [silence] got no money, right? >> and they are still fighting to get more. the insurance company might consider them to be closed, but there not going on in doing

additional investigation. national flood program is a great example of. if you want more yet to submit is want to see what you have gotten when you go through the appeals process. gerri: i've seen you quoted saying the insurance company di a great job of of offering policies. some kind of insurance for thei house. at the end of the day, the you expect those people to be paid out in total? rebuild completely on the basis of their insurance check? >> well, the way it works in know, we believe that the free-market and capitalism of the insurance market merrick's works very well. if people a competing for insurance business that really is the best case rests. and our state -- we are used a tornado, el activity, the may 9

storm, obama's city came throug that very well. we know that we will come through. it is impacted, but there are many different types of policie that are out there. we regulate and license over a hundred thousand insurance agents in the state and local lawmen believe they do a very effective job of communicating that to consumers. when they have these choices that are out there, 80's in their best interest, but we get over 30,000 phone calls a year, million hits a year. this is our first tornado. we just went through one. our one-year anniversary, and take a lot of pride in working with this case by case. gerri: and i have all the respect for what you're doing right now. my concern, as always, is with the consumer and if they are getting the deal they expected and the cover said they expected . of course it is too early to know right now and obama. coed.

>> let me tell you what we did. we brought together all of the insurers that were here that have been here for the last six days, had a meeting of the loca holiday insurance department website. they came in, we talked to them they know my expectations is fo them to take their policyholder in a quick, efficient manner, i the cash in their hands and the we will begin to work with them on a case by case basis. this is up, and we take care of its other with maybe difference and so the other parts of the country. we will do a good job growth, consumers. the insurance companies will be paying the policy of designers. >> i hope you're right that prayer right now everything goe right now,. i've just seen so many examples where consumers have been disappointed if. frankly, last word here see you chips, you know, at only do you have situations where, you know look, the policies themselves are written in no way that is tough to get full coverage because people cannot pay for

full coverage. the deductibles have been raised . the limits of been lowered. what do you expect to be the final story in oklahoma? >> i think you're going to find a lot of people that we partial payments. it is of value policy law states , like a lot of the states that have been very proactive consumer policies. -f you have a policy to your house is so distorted you get t be the policy limits. obama is not that way. changes in policies that people will get a depreciated amount. they will not get the full replacement back for. i expect matching problems and problems that will come out. i hope it does not happen. i have not found that personall representing people all of the country and the unthinkable happened this time either. gerri: appreciate your ttme. thank you. >> thank you. gerri: it is not just insurance companies not giving residents the money they need. in the case of superstar and sa

the victims, the red cross stil has not spent more than one-third of the $300 million i %-. seven months since the storm $110 million sitting in a red cross offices while new jersey and new york residents were literally left out in the cold this winter. the agencies as part of the reason for the delay is the wai and see how the states will allocate the $60 billion from the pro -- federal government and may need some of the remaining funds for families this summer. marocain sandy new jersey relie fund has only spent 11 of its $32 million. the united way, less than half of the nearly 10 million. let's hope, let's pray this money is to the people who need. those folks need help. that's for sure. moving on. waste, fraud, and abuse running rampant in top federal agencies? we now know. that is because five cabinet

agency inspector general posts are empty, vacant, no one in th job. some have been vacant for years. with more on this, president of citizens against government waste. i laugh, but it is not all funny . what is going on here? >> the message has not nominate people for those jobs and in several cases where they have nominated individuals the senat has delayed the nominations for various reasons. the defense to turn a permanent and sector general and a career person in the position is the protection of that job and the risk that the ig will take the house oversight committee identified more than 75,000 accusations that could face $67 billion a year that not bee implemented. they've opened and implemented ig wreck emendations begins the

dawn of a permanent id. gerri: all kinds of things stil angry about year. these cabinet agencies that we're talking about thaa don't have an inspector general represent 58 percent of the u.s budget to 58%. i mean, come on. this is just ridiculous. these of the people we're supposed to be watching. know what stock. you need somebody watching ever shoulder. and we're seeing time and time again that job is not getting done. this said points the finger at the white house, the white hous of the senate. to solve this? >> both immobile more the administration and the senate, even though the secretary of th treasury is not an idea, but ge twice as many questions as tim geithner, the former secrete -- secretary of the treasury.

i'm so tired of hearing stuff like that. there was a report any may have said. we wouldn't save 67,000 -- $67 billion. what will make this change to make anything about? >> congress has to get on top o the administration and demand that thess things be sent up. senator jean chretien in new hampshire has been asking the administration this in the map. tell the administration in february. all obama administration appointees. first, second, and forth for unimplemented recommendations. tens of billions of dollars tha could have been identified.

gerri: federal government finally, finally revving up an investigation into the 4-f150 pickup trucks with ego boost engines. if you watch this show you woul have known this was coming through because earlier this month reported consumer complaints about ego booster engines that shaker lose power during acceleration. that is a complaint. al has been done about it from

border the federal government. with more to -- with more honest , as does it all of the national legal and policy cente if perry got into the show. we have been talking about this for a long time to revise the federal government sells low tax ? >> hi. well, i know. they spent about -- there have been about 100 complaints. they shudder and the acceleration. a lot of the problems have been coming during humid or rainy weather from what i understann, but it has been a problem looking at the ford f-150, but it would expand, i'm sure, to other ford trucks that use that eco boost engine. so many models. it is all over the place. very popular engine. is there any chance we could se a recall the think? >> i would expect to see every call, but what we really have i a problem that is emanating fro an epa it is putting sets stric requirements on fuel standards

that manufacturers are having hard time keeping up. the technologies are not ready to meet the rising requirements. so it seems like these cars are hitting the roads before they have been properly tested for safety and before they're actually ready. gerri: a great insight of years. these in stringent standards from the epa coming into play, and the companies cannot keep up , so they put something out there not really knowing if it will work and not. people were telling me, hey, this is not a problem because i is only a problem during acceleration, what if i am getting on the expressway and here goes mike eco boost engine and it slows down and stops. >> it is -- it is a deficit the concern. and, you know, we have seen various types of concerns, particularly with the most favored the electric vehicles,

of the manned batteries. it looks like we have the same pattern read these things just hit the road before they were properly tested. again, just a pattern of the ep requiring more and more, and it is really going to come back to cost consumers because all vehicles are going to go up in price as these manufacturers have to come up with technologies to meet these rapidly rising cafe standards. gerri: us into this exchange i had last week about this very topic. gerri: he told our producer thi is the safety risk. how so? >> well, it depends on what goe on. if the engine completely shut down the highway, that is a safety risk. some of the things, the stuttering, a good driving experience is something like that. that's a different animal. the car is leaving you completely stranded, its reliability issue. gerri: if a stop for me while i am accelerating onto a highway

as we considered a safety issue. they're making somebody behind me. you're saying that this lack of interest, ability to abide by safety standards is happening i number of categories? >> systems have been some littl conflicts in the past. did not want to touch anything involving any type of lithium ion virus. we've seen that. seems like they have been cleared up, but there should be no hesitancy to quickly act on any type of safety concerns, an you are right. this is obviously a safety concern. i am sure that they will work o it, but they need to be right o this. just because these engines are deemed to be energy-efficient. gerri: that is no reason to let them go, that is for sure. we need to make sure that
