5:00 am
great weekend, thanks. >> hello, everody. tonight on "the wils report." a dna test to know your medical future also tracking teenagers when they are behind th wheel. how do you do that? and 95 years old, more fit than men have his age. he is here to tell us. we're watching out for you on "the willis report." that and more coming up, but the top story, the battle is on for
5:01 am
what is left of detroit. pension fund, union and debtholds scrambling for their cut after the city declared itself bankrupt. but what is haening in detroit may not stay there. it could have big implications for the rest of us. with us now from the frontline rategy company and with yard advisors. am going to start th you, this is onof the most talked about bankruptcies before it even happens and certainly the largest that happened not too long ago. at do you make of this? >> it is a tale of two cities if you don't mind me. stockton was a perfect storm of a very intense time of overspending, overpromising and under deloping where troit is a systematic breakdown what would have been progressive polici in the socialgenda t. i grewp south of detroit in
5:02 am
ohio, went to the city on a regular basis. it was a magnificent place. to see it deteriorater you have a a huge pension obligatio, the fact the tax base has left metropolitanarea, buildg up over the last 15 to 20ears, it is the perfect storm. gerri: here is what rick snyder said. >> hat'll come through the process, the point is anybody buying bonds should be aware of the financl challenges. we want to work through this, get that done. gerri: having big effects, what do you makof the governor's statement, what he had to y
5:03 am
about this. what he is saying is quite dangerous. he has characterized the general obligationondss beg unsecured creditors of the city, and i alwayselieved and i think the market believes the past00 years they are obscured by the municipality. very dangerous precedent he is trying to set here. cheryl: emergency city manager is proposing bondholders get cents on the dollar. >>he same thg in the stockton case earlier th year where they basiclyided with the city and calpers, the large pension fund for state workers in the state of cifornia. of course the bondholders get a haircut and the problem is you have to find some sort of equity
5:04 am
or penalty here. if they got the bondholders, who is gng to invest in cities and municipalities if they know they will get it? gerr detroit has been a mess. the city in big trouble, some people have left, populion declining. you cannot even get a cop or a famine to your house inside of an hour. the problems go way beyond muni bonds, right? >> absolutely. they are just the finymptom of the collapse it detroit is a mess, it has been a mess, on trial for everytng wrong with urban america. your heart has to go out to these with the you think deserve the pension or not.
5:05 am
they are now in a situation where they don't know ifhe will continue to get the pension that they have relieupon to li. it is veryompetent a situation and won't be sorted out quickly. gerri: we have to haveome sympathy for these people, but the city overpromise and und delivered. people are not paying their water bills, their heating bills, athe end of the y the city has ma major mistakes on theay and if anybody was to pay, it has to be the lal government. >> here's where get down to the crux of the probl. not just in califora, but with detroit and even bger cities like los angeles that have a looming pension problem. not that we don't feel for them who have been promed in the past, if t money is not there, somebody will have to renegotiate. that is what bankruptcy allows
5:06 am
them to do. if it's a hacut so somebody can get the same kind of penalty in the end we would have a much more successful outcome. gerri: i don't know. this is going to be a big fight. a judge today so this bigoted filing is unconstitutional. yolook back, gm was in bankruptcy for s weeks, how long is this thing going to last r the ci of detroit? >> this is a completely different kettle of fish. chapter for corporations, it is a different thing. the other poini want to make is 18 or $20 billion of debt outstanding liabilities outstanding. a huge amount of money and to your point abo it being a low tax base, that is true. only 13,000 per year.
5:07 am
you do the math, 17 billion is a huge number. gerri: cities go up and cities go down thank you for coming on tonight. onto our oer big story tonight, the sec has slapped llionaire hedge fund manager with insider trading with related charges. the most invested ever. fox business senior correspondent chare gaspino and thor of circle of frids. the government has been after this guy for a long time,ou predicted it, was this a surprise? >> no. they were ramping up the failure to supervise gaze. what is fascinating is it is along the lines of what they did with jon corzine. you don't have to charge the target with fraud. just if you have enough evidence failure to supervise and brings with it l the penalties of a
5:08 am
fraud charge. stevehe will be charged. it is on their home court. if you are betting, in 1995 told me what do you think about detroit, i would say that against detroit bnds because at place is a basketase. in 2008 i uld have told you they are going bankrupt beccuse the whole auto industry is going bankrupt. the chances of him wning are about as high a detroit. he has great lawyers, he makes a compling case. gerri: why didn't they charge him with insider trading? >> we didn't have insider trading. if you believehe folks, they have both been indicted.
5:09 am
portfolio manager and if you believe they did sething wrong, and thgovernment clearly di the guy they dealt with has done something wrong. they d't know that, they don't have evidence he got from them that link them to e insider trading. they don't say i have insider informatn. what we believe is they have conversations, they talk about things and he doesn't take the next step like how did you get that. how do you know for sure in his case how do you know for sure that the two stocks heot information that they were going to probably tank because they had unfavorable res, hodid
5:10 am
you know it was going to tank? that is an obvious question. what is fascining is just how mu power the sec has even without a fraud charge they can take you out on failure to supervise and that is what they're going to do here. gerr is it surprising in this case? >> they think, this is them talking not me, they think he runs a criminal organization th a mpliance all ththese op doad stuff. gerri: there has been no crimal charge, correct? >> they believe they do all of these bad stuff, the compliance is to protect the man in the middle. there may be a charge against the firm. still a potential for a charge against steve cohen.
5:11 am
i don't think this is the last straw here. i think there is more to come. i think the is a chance, they ll charge the fm with some sort of ariminal insider trading case ainst the firm. more than a theoretical chance is to pursue steve cohen on some charge. they have given up on the criminal charge on the case, ich is true. if he flips,aybe they can get something on him. therthere's other stuff they're still looking at. ey believe this company has operated ia very shady fashion they shoulnot be allowed to exist and the compliance is there as a cover.
5:12 am
if you don't believe my report, he did not mention him by name but he alled t them. they speak in code. gerri: it is a fascing story ory. really appreciate it. unbelievab. weill talk about how soon dna testing could be available to everybody at a low cost. the latest technology you can use to track your teenage driver coming up.

thopenf a nversation for a contract between them. they knew what expected, and what they were supposed to do. if you have an accident or if you are caught speeding you lose the car. cheryl: studies have shown those were monitored by by their parents do a better job driving. they're more careful, they drive slower. i would have to think you would be darn mad abt it. the whole point is to get away from mom and dad. >> it isbout the freedom but you can still be able to monitor. there are a lot of different systemthat do a lot of different tngs. have them uderstand speeding is illegal besides the fact it is dangerous. you havether things to be concerned about, but if your kids have an accident that is a health issue that could last the rest of their life. gerri: tell me aboutthis. >> ford offe something called
