gerri: thank you for joning us. tonight on "the willis report." %-veterans waiting for benefits. e of our heroes is here tonight to share his story. d young ericans saying no to credit cards. and new concernssfor young athletes. we a watching out for you tonight on "the willis reort." gerri: we will have the last on our military veterans waiting
5:01 am
yes for veteran benefits. first, it has been six months since e massacre at sandy hook elementary school in newtown, connecticut. day, victims were remembered andthey open their heartsnd wallets over $1500 to help thoe victims anfamilies. we have been folwing what happened to that money. tonight$10 million has still not been given out. nearly all of that it held by one charity in particular. with us now is a spokesman fo the famly. >> a very small percentage of it. they are ill trying to figure out the bestpath forward or hoto distribute the money.
5:02 am
i reprent a coalition of families going back to colmbine anwe are saying that that money was given by a very generous ameran public d it s intended to go to them. together we a standing and saying that that is exactly what should happen. >> here is what happened. americans were very generous. they gave him $15 million to many charies. but the biggest one, the one that hashe lion's share was united way of western @%nnecticut. after the tragedy, tt particular charity sat back and decided to create am kind of foundation to put this money in. they studied the issue, a of this going on over the last six months. that seems to me like it's a lot of time to be waiting for this money to be distruted. >> it certainly is. it is actually one of the longest distributions that we have seen.
5:03 am
a lot of time the money is spent ofto a separate orgazation and the panels are put together. the challenging part is that there are people who specialize in this veey painful process. those who know how to do this. thepresumption that is completely out of the depths and how to handle this kind of situation can figure is out on their own. the fact that they are a failing themselves are the lessons that have been learned by oer communities that have gone through this. it is unfortunate. we are saying that we should bring in this to come in. boston has argd onhe. >> let me just say that the folks in the boston tragedy, which happened recy, they are already starti to get
5:04 am
money. i hink that certaly for foreign newtown people, that has be really discouraging out there. karen, respondedit foundations say they have done nonothing ong. but they are in full compliane. wh do you say. >> i would ay ho do tey know that. if you look at ther webse it is goig to meet the long-term needs of t community when you go to their website. there is only one way to donate. you cannot say that i would like my domitian go to the victims or i would like it to go to mental-health servicesor the community or to buildd a memoril to plant trees or build playgrounds. there is no way identify what
5:05 am
those in attendance. they are seen as a coalition of victims, thathe amercan public is responding with their heartsn reaching out to the families. >> okay, i need you to respond to a couple of things. unfortunately they have put out mixemessages. first was that they were going to get $ million of the 1 million to the victims. and they retracted that an aching back and id, we were going to give 7 million to the victimss wh you ask the question of how did you come up with a number. what happens to the interest is being earned on that money. what happens to the wa of giving that is going to happen right around six months timeframe. what will happen ll probably flew into the community. local happened at.
5:06 am
gerri: now we are going to set up a distbution cmmittee and there are 40 families involved in this. there are $11 million. >> it is not quite that simple. the 40 are divided into three categories we have two who suffer physical injury and survived. and have 12 wh were in the classrooms and escaped. there were different levels f injury. so you need to have someone who has experience in this. a victim compensation specialist who can co up with a formula on the degree of injury and how to parl out and istribute the money. >> it isll rycomplicated. but you are sitting here six months later. the only people who have seen this are the people running the
5:07 am
arity. no one is doinanything. the attorney general i asking for action. the chary itself is saying ththat we re making all the rigt moves. but that is nothing to see here. what if something is something would ppen. when are people -- americans were generous. who do they want thp? the victims. that is not happening here. it is just not right. do you ee this coming down the pipe anytime soon? >> i wish i could say that i did. but the victims don't. we are aa deadlock and frankly there needs to be a wave f al eda. the governor has waiting. thirty-eight and 40 families have said that they want a third party to come in and determine how to distribute the mony. >> in lieu of the distribution
5:08 am
panel instead of t distribution panel. >> i just hope that something happens for those families. i know that you do as well. please come back soon and tell us what is going on. i think that it is very interestin >> than you. >> we will inte the governor or the attorney general or whatever it takes. is is the end. >> i cannot agree more. thank you for calling your attention to this. we really appreciate it. >> thank you for coming on. >> thk you >> gng on in newtown, connecticuis just on example in a terble world. we recently talked about america's worst charity. if you miss that segment, to gerriwillls.m to find a list. and and family say that they gave money to some of these loser chatie that spent nnies on the dollar to those need. it's up to you to eck out the

5:13 am
robert, tha you for coming on the show. it is an honor and we apreciate can u tell us s abt yor story yi to getet the benefits that we promised that we would give you? >> well, it is a very disheartening story. it can only be described as a breakdown of ptsd. i filed for compensation benefits at that time. i waited until may of 2013 o receive the benefits. i waited 33 months for the entire processo go through. >> did you get those benefits becae they g you by that int? or was it because you'reaking a lot of noise? >> believe it was because i was talking out it publicly. i went to the baltimore su and they ran an article. wiin about two weeks i had
5:14 am
partial completed. soeally i think theyplay a game of whack im with. gerri: that is not right. that is not how theeclaims should be. we were hearing last night really scarystories about these claims filed on paper. they get lost. they are put away somewhe where no one can find them. it is socking. 850 veterans like yourself, some of them waiting re than 125 days. most of them 565,000. what should be done here? it is a complex issue quite frankly i am callinon t president to get involved.
5:15 am
ngress has beeinvolved in this. they have been throwing a lot of money at this situaon. so something mu be done and it must be done immediately. >> the bget has only gone up. >> i think the budgegoes up something like 40% since 2008? >> yes. >> tell us about your experience in the military. tell the world what you did last. >> okay. i spent 20 years and i etired 2007. i get multiple deployments. myast deployment was in iraq in 2004 and 2005. it was hit about 160 times over the time that t i ws there.
5:16 am
in addition to having no safe haven due to the mortars and rocket we would go after insurgents trying to attack the base. so it was a very tough time and there were a of really good people and i did my best to ke everything happen that make people safe. then i come back froiraq and me back to this quagmire of red tape and it really is a disheartening siiuation. >> did you feel like you have support? gerri: were yo expecting and what did you see? >> i definitely hathe support of my family. espeally for somone with ptsd there was something very seriously wrongwith me. i think that the v, they are
5:17 am
%-this point.d well enough at somehow and someway, wcannot keep throwing mony at the problem in thinking that's gng to fix tt. we cannot keep thinking that we are going to fix it in this way. it has to b done in a continent away. especially in working with the veterans as wel >> we cannot fail people like you. have to serve you because you served us. >> i appreciate that thught. i think that it is smeing that needs to be thought of through e veterans affairs and in congress and by the president as well. when the veterans come home from injured emotionally or otherwise to and we canno leave them out there. we cannot let them said, like i
5:18 am
did, for 33 months wondering what is going on thi system, why won't they answer, wanted tommy what my benefits claim is. quite frankly, i just wanted them to a balance the fact that i ha ptsd and waited 33 months within to do that. gerri: a little. well, hank you for your service. we appreciated. master sgt. thank you for coming on the show. we appreciate it. thk you. >> thank you very much. gerri: unbelievable story. 851,000 veterans still waiting. this shocking new trend among our nations and people, ditching credit cards. what they're turning to instead is causing ala and costing the money. joining me now, consumer education president for smart what is going on? >> yeah. i'm not sure if th is good or bad news to beequite honest with you. on one hand you have young people w are using credit cards lesson there for staying out of credicard debt, which is ne. the prlem is that they're going to use plastic.
5:19 am
as a fact. so what aplastic of the using? in my mind there are two reasons thatre causing this trend of downward usage. one is the card applications to the cd act which made it more difficult for people under 21 to ge a credit card because now they're required to either have job or a cosigner. number two is the incredibly aggressive marketing of the prepaid debit card which is starting in people and minorities as an alternative to credit c. gerri: well, it -- >> is causing the trend. gerri: let's talk about the prepaid debit card. un have done this before. we are not big fans. tell people why. >> and not a bigs for couple of reasons. first of all of marketing is clause tha is honest. they're suggesting that prepaid debit cards are a better alternative than traditional checking accounts, less expensive than traditional checking accountbecause you don't have to pay overdraft fees and they do, in fact, help you establish an bill credit
5:20 am
history. none of that is actually true. a prepaid debit card ishat is called a stored value card, which means you love money into the card itself. it is us sittingn the count anywhere like a traditional the card. didou have to pay fees to u it , either a monthly fee to match at&t's, a paper statement fees, live customer servic fees. they jusgo on d on. gerri: we don't have enough money r them.@ >> this is fet use my money, and i don't like paying that. people always get angry. that is at least the bank's money. this is one to use your own money. gerri: which is what is so insulting about it. pay to use your own money. just carry cash. it aa this issue, and that think this is something people get hung up on. banks are expensive, charging monthly fees for your checking account. what is the advantage of having a real relationship with the bank iyou're a young person? >> first off, it's a fact that
5:21 am
banks charge fees. they are f profit organizations which is one of the ways that make money. having said that, if you are creative and willing to buy a little bit of research into choosing the bank and that type of account if you have with the bank, that is aually not that hard to find out see-free checki relationship. this rumor, that it i gone is absotely notrue. a lot of people to give -- a lot of places will offer you aree checking account. havi a relatiohip with the bank is not bad thing. you have access to god knows how many a machines. your mon is short. it is nice to have a relationship when you want to borrow money to buy a house or finance and education or by car or credit card or you have completely fraud prevention guaranteed because of federal law. it is actually not a bad thing to have a relatiohip with the bank, yet we demonize them as if eyre evil simply because they charge these.
5:22 am
don't complain about it. avoid them. gerri: listen to this. young people banking 45%, prepaid cards, chhck cash, pawns, palin's. the worst of the worst. some of this is like -- not the last thing you want your millennial to do. >> since we love to quantify this, will quantify it for them. the avege interest rate on a credit card, the worst thing in the world to my credit card is above 50%. annualized interest you p adipate a loner pawnshop london it isver 100 percent. compare those numbers. gerri: well pledge. very well put. >> have a greaaeekend. gerri: you as well. well, ter in the show, a former professiona soccer player has to mornings for those pants and ks who pla sports. and a series of stops and starts
