6:00 pm
he's adorable. >> feature nba star. melissa: adam, i demand people want try and your mouth. >> of the more than one fried. melissa: that's all the "money" we have read today. you will see becker tomorrow. gerri: hello, everybody. [laughter] lawmakers try to tackle sexting and driving. have access to your phone without a warrant. also, america's worst charity. you will show you how not to get scant. in your medical privacy at risk. just how easy is it to happen to your medical records tonight we will do it. >> here is the patient records. gerri: that's my name. gerri: you're watching out for you on "the willis report."
6:01 pm
gerri: our top story tonight, the other big privacy case that you are not hearing about. a lawmaker wants to give the police the power to search your cell phone. after you have been in a car accident. the measure would allow got to go through your cellphone, natural through without a warrant to see if you're talking on the phone and testing of the time of the accident. is this a sensible policy making our the trampling on our constitutional rights? with us now, privacy attorney. thank you for coming on the show. great to see you. so, look. i see both sides of this. 28 percent of all traffic crashes. nearly. i found this to be amazing. testing and driving kills more teens each and every year than drinking and driving. how can you be against something, anything that my stop this problem? >> well, i'll tell you. is nice to see you again. i would not solve one problem by
6:02 pm
creating another problem. just because you're in a traffic accident are just because you're in an automobile crashes on the news to give up your rights to the fourth amendmeet. there is no evidence of a crime is because you been in the crash. even if they get yourself on records, that doesn't necessarily mean that anybody was distracted by the fact there were using their cell phone or on a call the time. listen to my no when certain corners in this country it is fashionable to try to give up our fourth amendment rights. this the other week the supreme court said it's okay to take a swab of your cheek if you're arrested for serious offense. i think that we have to hold the line. even if they're in a car accident this should not necessarily give up their rights. gerri: let me tell you why they're so interested. they have a ton of accidents and six deaths, 1840 hand-held cell phone related crashes in one year, two dozen 11. hundred and seven injuries, success been read this is a horrible thing. despite making this information available, the cop is not going to see testing.
6:03 pm
there's no evidence. if somebody has been drinking you know right away. you can smell it. you may see the open bottle. but testing is totally different. how can the cops the -- how can they have any idea they were testing and driving? >> i'll tell you, i agree it's a problem. there are other ways to get at this. police are used to investigating crimes. they can do a lot with accident reconstruction, and if you really think there is probable cause that someone has been crimiially negligent -- and not just talking about being in an automobile accident because of some careless this. the cops really think in the police her think that someone has been criminally negligent and that's all you have a subpoena for. let them establish probable cause to give myself on. just because you're in a car accident does not mean i can look in your glove compartment arkin looking your trucker go your house. that's not the way it works. we have a fourth amended for
6:04 pm
resentful. we need to make sure that we are free. gerri: couldn't be a deterrent? think about it. the end of the day of the have a law like this. and i'm arguing this side because i no there has to be some kind of solution. not really sure what it is. wouldn't this be a deterrent to people they do text and drive and keeping in mind here that it tends to be teenagers, young people who end up in this situation, have a car accident. six kids dying every year in new jersey. >> of tell you what i think it turned is. it's turned his big fines. that's what a deterrent is, not just for the kid who is driving, but the parents as well. education is a big deeerrent. making sure that we have good drivers said, that's a deterrent. i would not give up our fourth amendment rights is because somebody is in a car accident. car accidents happen for lots of different reasons. that does not mean because you are in a car accident that we have done something criminally wrong and should give up our fourth amendment rights. and i believe in that. americans in this country, despite that it is fashionaale in other quarters commission all
6:05 pm
the line. gerri: a big issue in a lottery is. how much information i you willing to give up? the reality is if people give up everything all the time when they're on line with web applications, when they're shopping online. they give up all kinds of things. this might be a better reason. >> but -- gerri: let me give you one fact. they now say that testing in driving is six times more dangerous than drinking and driving. yet people don't really understand just how dangerous it is. had we get that message across? how the we stop people from testing and driving without getting into their cellphone and finding out for real? >> listen, the same public that campaign that reduce smoking among teens can easily do the same thing when you're talking about taxing and teens without necessarily giving a bar for the men and rights. those ppblic service announcements in this country in the kind of advertising and education that has gone on in the schools has been tremendously powerful in reducing teen smoking.
6:06 pm
think that is that he the kind of public campaign our awareness campaign the you need. when you're online you are giving up your privacy voluntarily most of the time. this is involuntary. here the government says, we have a right to see something not withstanding the fact that you have not -- nobody is under reasons suspicion of committing a crime. gerri: viewers are on your side. -o it will be interesting to see if this goes anywhere. it will be hard to get through the legislature because of the issues you bring up. thank you for coming on the show. >> they did for having me. gerri: now we want to know what you think. our question. should cops, the police hav access to your cell phone after a car crash? logic gerriwillis.com and vote on the right-hand side of the street. ellis said results of the end of the show. well, we had some good news today from shoppers. you might be frustrated with the lack of options on the table if you're shopping, but the tables to be turning.
6:07 pm
more americans, 40%, now say it is a better time than any to sell in the past three years. joining me now with more, the realistic reporter for the wall street journal. all right. could be actually be looking at a turning point in this market where we actually have some inventory? >> that is exactly what is going to happen. inventory is beginning to go up because prices have gone up. prices are rising. there are fewer people chasing -- there are more people chasing fewer homes. that is a dynamic we have seen for the last year. there's been a shortage of inventory. now people saying, i saw the house down the street sold. the house, you know, a few doors down went for 5% more than that. elche the market. gerri: of 4% from january. take a look. that is pretty impressive. when you look at existing homes for sale year-over-year inventory changes, boy, that's really tells the story when you look at this. it is one slide down a mountain
6:08 pm
and of little pickup at the bottom. i wonder about their starting to see, hey, i can sell at a price and maybe i know more than this house is worth, but in sell at a price that will give me an of this troubled. gerri: -- >> that is beginning to happen more and more. there is going to be some dissolution because prices are now back to where they were last decade fifth. we are still ashley 29 percent off of the peak. if you think you're going to be able to get your house -- your house for what it was at the peking will be so is a price. they're doing better than a year ago. interest rates have moved up. they're still very low historically speaking. housing is affordable right now. gerri: look at where interest rates of gone. people said they won't buy because rates are 4%. 4 percent. c'mon. that's a high. >> in 2000 rates for 8%. people talk about the 90's in the rates being 9%, 10 percent.
6:09 pm
so for% is historically great. owning is still cheaper than renting. even if we were up to form a half for 5%. so that should continue to up propel housing for. gerri: you had a great story recently about the bull and bear case for housing. he had a guy i never heard from before. he made some very interesting arguments about the problems currently in this marketplace, which are only really -- they're less obvious. that is the willingness of lenders to lend to people who want to buy. is that one of the things holding back the market? >> i think he is. you talk to a lot of economists and knew that if credit standards for easier -- no one is sink, she go back to where we were at the bubble. the margins, qualified buyers. what you do see a lot of are all castiles. cash is king at some point it will go away. gerri: are we seeing fha loans
6:10 pm
with 3 percent down? i would think that would be the solution for everything. >> part of it is if i have five offers on my house and one of the mustachio order to that person first. the fha get will be at the bottom of the list. limited inventory come of your options for those people in need the fha loans. but i think credit is going to be a head wind in this recovery. so for people who are thinking about a new housing bubble, you have to look at is a lot of the price movement right now is people puku putting cash down has been in the game. we don't see the funny money. gerri: investors at the end of the day. i want to ask you one question about the bull case which i think is an interesting point. so while the problems is there's not enough supply. we talk about inventories of the time. you mean by that is there is not enough new housing being built. we need a ton more. is that going to help?
6:11 pm
>> we are of growing the housing stock in the country. we have bill very little new homes over the past five years. they have been depressed, competing against these foreclosures demand a lot of them to set up in building. now we have households. and people moving and of their parents' basement and you are seeing demand for rentals and eventually for homes to buy. we just have not been adding to the stock. gerri: some prices in april of 12% year-over-year. alysian a gain? >> you will see something close. we can't go up 12 percent forever. that is not sustainable. year-over-year 8%, 9 percent, that's not out of -- does not of the picture at all. gerri: as omri's a go, baby, go. thank you for coming on. >> thanks. gerri: more to come thisshour including how you make money. and poured money advice. what the one investment you should never buy inside your ira.

gerri: when it comes to saving for retirement, just one money moved to make a record golden years. joining me now with smart investments for your ira, rick adelman, a sea of lebanon financial-services. -elcome back to the sale. good to see you. he told us that there was one thing you absolutely should not buy for your ira. what is a? >> tax-free municipal bonds. gerri: really? >> a lot of people love them because they're tax-free and their perceived to be very safe. here's the weird part. ira rules trump everything else. even though they're generating tax-free income, if you put it
6:16 pm
inside of an ira, the withdrawal will suddenly become taxable. you'll ruin the tax-free aspect of putting it in sinai area. gerri: very smart. i love that. what do i buy if you don't like that? makes some suggestions decides stocks and bonds. anything else? >> pretty much everything else. the whole key for proper retirement safety security and retirement income is diversification. i know it's a boring old word, but it works. investors and not supposed to be exciting. boring works when it comes to wealth creation. only a little bit of everything and to many people emphasized safety far too much. they have theii money invested far too conservatively that far too low and interest-rate and they're going to go broke because of inflation over time. so stocks make a lot of sense, but don't buy individual stocks. use these chains traded funds, low-cost mutual funds. that is the best way to go. gerri: i agree with you. i want you to help resolve the problem. we had a tweet from a viewer,
6:17 pm
and i want to read that in the your reaction. it is from one car of. upon announcing that correctly. he said, hope you can cover reporting that sec is planniig rules to limit movement -ithdrawals in money market accounts. we went on the blaze website and found this story. small investors scare tactics. the headline was the sec proposed this strict new rules on money market account withdrawals. what do you say here? i mean, it sounds like a little scaremongering to me. >> that is entirely what it is. this rule by the sec is an outgrowth of 2008 when one of the biggest and coming in fact, all this money market funds in the country broke the buck, meaning the $1 per share price fell to $0.97. the sec wants to make sure that never happens again, so they're instituting new rules, right now merely propose that would limit the ability of institutional money-market funds, not the ones
6:18 pm
you and i use, to be haven a different way so that we don't have a shock that occurred in 2008. the fear tactics, some people using just designed, as you3 pointed out, to be fear mongering. it is not legitimate are fair. gerri: let me get the facts straight. some cite the rules are not meant to a restricted iidividual -nvestors, regular investors like you and i with their money market funds. to have that right? >> half right. yes. one set of rules would require the institutional money-market funds to stop using a $1 fixed share price. the other one for ordinary individuals, the money markets that we use would basically say that if we run into a market crash like we had in 08 and they're is a sudden run on the money and everybody was the liquidity of once, the sec will allow these funds to restrict the liquidity. this is not designed to prevent you from getting your money. gerri: at think that's exactly what he was talking about.
6:19 pm
that's exactly what they're talking about. you would have limited ability to get your cash. that's what they're worried about. >> tester. gerri: but it -- >> if you have a limited ability to your cashier guarantee losses. the sec is saying, we don't want a market panic to cause you to lose money on necessarily. so the restrictions are not designed to prevent you from @%tting your money. is to prevent you from doing something stupid unnecessarily merely because a panic in the marketplace. gerri: well, i think our viewers are smart enough to do the right thing. i have confidence in them. but i think the moral of the story here is the you may see some restrictions and ability to get your money and it's time when people panicking. the flip side of that is it's never good to sell an investment when people panicking because you never know where the floor is. >> it also means -- you're right. it also means you have to fully understand how these investments work. many people believe money market
6:20 pm
funds like bank accounts. they're not. that can fluctuate commander could be seized. gerri: and that think that's a great point because the sec is trying to make these look more like investments and less like bank accounts because people have assumed that that money will always be safe. and so that is highlighting how they may not be. thank you for coming on the show. appreciate your time. >> any time. gerri: well, that was interesting. speaking of retirement, it is not just about where you put your money, but where you put down roots. "usa today" put together a list of some of the despot, cities and may not have thought of as a place to spend your golden years that list is tonight's top five. number five, france -- this amelie has 10,000 people, but nine golf courses, not to mention low taxes and an expensive home. sounds perfect. college station texas. this town is centrally located between all the major cities and allows the state. not too far from the beach.
