have a fantastic night. guess what? "the willis report," is coming up next. ♪ ♪ gerri: hello, everybody. i'm gerri willis. tonight on "the willis report" details on 44 million target credit card holder to stolen during the busy christmas shopping season. how did that happen, and what is target saying today? did you know you can keep working and still get money from social security? we will tell you about a little known benefits for seniors, and there is a reason many companies have celebrities pushing products. one study says we are wired o believe what they say. we will explain as we're watching out for you tonight on "the willis report." ♪
6:01 pm
gerri: welcome to "the willis report." your show, your money, your voice. tonight, the nightmare before christmas. listen to this. consumers and target, the retailer, scrambling after the discovery that 40 million credit and debit cards may have been compromised to buy data breached during the busy shopping season of the year. the popular chain saying accounts of in store customers to make purchases by slapping credit or even dead cards at any of the target stores in the u.s., some 1700 between november 27 and dec. 15th may have been exposed. with more on this, president and ceo of the steel group. welcome back to the show. great to see you. i have to tell you, this is a huge story. from. normally were talking about is an online theft. this is not the case here. that is not what happened. help me understand.
6:02 pm
how could that theft, this prison, this big, how could it happen? how would occur? >> you know, having happened at the point of sale when they're standing your card makes it a very different breached. i'm pretty sure that what happened, it must have been at corporate headquarters, in the eye to department, a system-wide injection of a virus of now where. propagated into every one of those those scanners that every one of 1800 target stores across the country. gerri: it's amazing. i have read that of the possibilities the way this might have happened, how it has happened in the past, these go in and steal the cash registers and do there work and put the cash registers back into the stores before the open. otherwise, it's a situation where they're changing the software on these machines, on the systems by faking it. let me tell you, i find this deeply disturbing. at the border sell targets out of the bay are.
6:03 pm
>> you know, it makes me really number one, because of the season and number two because it was so widespread. think of it, 1800 stores. that's like a 787 of flu-ridden victims going through 1800 airports in the course of 18 days. this happen so quickly, you know, the biggest ever. let's take 18 months. this took 18 days. that's a staggering fact. gerri: let's look at that time line. because, you know, you give them props for reporting quickly, but the people they're reported to was not the public. we did not get that information. the authorities did, and there's a lot of talk amongst people like you and people in insurance circles are saying, they should have to listen. >> absolutely. the company should always tell, not just for us, the consumers, but for their brand. this was broken by crabs on security on wednesday. you're right. they should have told us this on thanksgiving day, if they knew it then, because you shut it
6:04 pm
down and you do a lot better for your brand. it is a nightmare when they all this out. gerri: more than three weeks since this started command we are on the hearing about it now. believe, targeted not even find this out on a round. they had to have the credit card processors tell them. there were not even aware. >> yes, which just shows, you know, hal built into whenever i t structure they have this is. they did not know about the weakness obviously beforehand or they would not have had to find out from outside sources. gerri: i think we have to talk a little bit about this is so one usual and bizarre. the secret service may launch an investigation. the federal trade commission will investigate. there will be a lot of probes, and this comes to a bad time for target. the earnings have not been that great lately. you know, this will cause people to trust them less. do you think trust is a big issue? >> there is no question. i mean, the cost of this, you
6:05 pm
know, repairing a breach number one, but the loss of that customer loyalty and trust will cost them so much more than that tiny, tiny amount it would have cost to avoid it in the first place. that is what these companies always learn, but they learned after they have been breached rather than stopping it up from. gerri: i want to quickly go through your tips for what to do. target once you to call them, and i think we have been running their number at the bottom of the screen all through this thing so that you can give them a jingle. we have someone tweet me saying, i'm one of these people. tell me what to do. call that phone number, call your bank. you say, all kinds of things, you might want to get to annual report, take a look your credit report, consider it theft monitoring, review your credit card statements right now, right now. pawlenty said, american express, whoever it is. >> no question. if you have any question whatsoever that you might be breached, cancel the credit card. if it is a debit card, you have to just go out and cancel it because they link directly to
6:06 pm
your bank account. if that data was stolen, they have the potential of taking everything from your account, not just charging your credit card. gerri: i did not even think about that. >> don't hesitate. gerri: good point. i'm sure people a thrill they have to cancel there credit and debit cards at this time of year. thank you. unbelievable. >> happy holidays. gerri: merry christmas. thanks for coming on. all right. a breach of trust is what we're talking about tonight with target and now with the government to americans and the white house cannot shining promises about obamacare, that is. a new poll shows that not only do the insured but also the uninsured disapprove of the president's signature law. with more on this, dug holes begin, president of the american action forum. pretty dramatic numbers. really? does anyone believe in this anymore? if the people who will benefit from this lot don't like it, don't approve, want to see it repealed, who is supporting get this one? >> well, one of the things that
6:07 pm
surprises me is that everyone automatically assumes that the uninsured are going to support this because it will benefit from it. well, they could be the working uninsured. a massive regulatory burden. there could be libertarians, mandate to buy individual health-insurance. a huge new expansion. a lot of policy in here that people have every right to dislike, whether they have insurance are not. i'm not shocked, although i gather that the white house is. and the second reason, of fundamental pumpman. they no longer enough when premier of -- if they're uninsured, they shy of the program entirely. >> the numbers are shocking. the insured don't like it. the uninsured don't like it. 58 percent of the uninsured have not even been on the website to test it out. so think about that. the very people that we were hoping to get on the program, the very people who would
6:08 pm
benefit, the very people who were throwing these billions and billions and billions of dollars dad, they are not even listening. >> not only are they not listening, they are intimidated by the website. there has been a lot of talk about how the website is a temporary problem and what effect the program. this is a piece of evidence that says the website problems are affecting the program, not giving the people they intend to get into the insurance exchanges, and as a result they're not going to get the results that they helped. the white house has a big sales problem right now because the energy customers are saying no. gerri: you know, i think it is weird that it was on a website. i just have to say that. i know of lot of young people are on the web, not everyone. often it is the people who are boris that you might want to target with a program like this and may not have access. they are not paying for isdn in their homes, not paying for some fancy, souped up program to serve up three teeseven income streaming internet service in
6:09 pm
their houses. that just does not happen. they don't have a laptop. then may not have a computer, and ipad. >> i don't disagree. and i think that they have to further problems. one is weather-related which is they're relying on the same website, one that was not even built a month ago to deliver the subsidies, the cash. they have enough trouble with just getting the information. when you have to start passing along taxpayer dollars and they start making payments errors in the spring we will hear a lot about that. that is a problem that will be a serious one. another problem they have is the law has now been around for years, and they kept telling people, once you see in action and will be fine. what we are seeing is that they are out again touting things that have been part of the law for couple of years. you can keep your kids on until 26, that has been true for a couple of years. people are buying this even though it is up and running. gerri: that's an interesting point. what you to respond to one more pull.
6:10 pm
should implementation of health care be delayed? 67% to think that you should put this thing -- gerri: it and put it on ice for at least one year so that we can figure out how to do it better. it seems like a no-brainer. what is the biggest handicap? >> the biggest stumbling block is giving insurers to come back and try again. look at how they have been treated. there were told to get these products ready and they did. no one can sign of. six people on the first day. a turnaround and say, the latest, which is the best -- even if they're not sure there on your policy, pay the bills even if they're not pay your premium. don't worry and we will take care of it. that's a big stretch. so they are now faced with not the business they were promised, heavily more expensive book of business because a lot more sick people a showing of. the rules have changed every time. delayed for one year, i think insurers would be, enough. gerri: the reality, i mean,
6:11 pm
isn't it true that essentially the insurance industry has almost been nationalized with this? told that they can have profits in a certain range, can't get too high. if you go to low the government will pay you money. how is that really an industry? >> well, they have dictated products. you get four flavors of insurance and that's it. there is a certain profit you can make, and that's it. the best part now is you have to take all the publicity when things go wrong. the president said, look, if you want to stay on that insurance, go ask youu insurance company, not my problem. when you cannot get coverage in january, go ask the insurers to take care of it. not only of nationalized and regulated them, they have turned them into the political solution to their problem. it is a remarkable thing. gerri: even the death panel. they get to see whether you can get to a fancy hospital, see a really expensive doctor -- right? >> no. gerri: politically.
6:12 pm
>> it is very slick. at each moment you can see what the president does. i will be responsible for this. if you can get the policy you want it is the insurer's fall. shifting blame. think about the minimum wage. if you are not making what you think she should, it is not my recovery. companies don't pay you enough. this is part of the administration's political strategy. one more time. gerri: merry christmas to my friend. great to see. thanks for coming not. >> my best to you and everyone in the show. gerri: thank you so much. more to come, including an answer to the question how you do that. the best way to give your favorite charity over the whole year, not just christmas. we shed some light on a little-known benefit of social security where you can get money now and still work. stay with us. ♪
6:13 pm
6:14 pm
6:15 pm
gerri: it is a big, big social security benefits that many of us are missing out on. in fact, even some financial planners are telling their clients about this. here with important and permission on taking advantage of what is called a spousal benefit is jean -- you're going
6:16 pm
to have to say your name for me. my apologies for getting your name incorrect. the vice president of financial security and a rp. thank you for coming in to explain this. this is fascinating. there is a benefit a lot of people don't know about. they can get money from it. explain how it works. >> the spousal benefit that a lot of people don't understand is, what you actually unlocked. a lot of people to actually take advantage of it, but if you are claiming it, both you and your spouse the for full retirement age to made is a matter of actually getting access to either your earnings or your spouse is. but that full retirement age you can actually choose between taking spousal benefits and forgoing your benefit and letting that grow until the maximum age of 70. that is what most people don't know. gerri: so you could be growing your benefit at the same time as taking benefit and working. what was the thinking behind
6:17 pm
this policy making? >> i think of little bit of it is actually having people wait to claim because the longer you wait a logger -- the longer you wait the bigger the benefit. so one of the things that they wanted to actually push people to do is wait until the full retirement benefits age. this is a benefit that you cannot block once yyu get there. gerri: it actually costs a lot to a half billion per year, this program. there is the cost, but i think what you're saying is if people did it another way it would be even more expensive. how you take advantage of this? data you sign up? is there a form? >> when you're ready to claim your social security benefits, and this is full retirement age, you can go to the office and talk to somebody about this ability to do so. and that is really the way to do it. you can go online and there are encouraging people. but again, this is just something that you probably
6:18 pm
-ould like to consult someone face to face further. >> i think it is a matter of delaying your component of it, and that is actually getting benefits sooner in terms of the spousal benefits. allowing your piece of your benefit to grow to the maximum age of just 70 perry said that is really the difference here. you're actually planning sooner letting your benefits grow to maximize the benefit that you can have from a long term. gerri: are showing the audience right now but delayed social security and benefits. 8 percent per year. so did a little doubt now even the you're working in delaying signing of the full benefit. it's a bigger advantage for people out there. thanks for coming on. appreciate your time. at the very merry christmas. >> thanks, you, too. gerri: later in the show, what is more of a threat to you, big government, big business, big labour? the results of a new survey. next, many of us celebrate the

6:23 pm
a lot of my youngbear friends, they want to identify a charity that we think is ggeat and stay with them for a long time and become known and identified with that charity. let's start step by step. how do you find charity that delivers? >> that is a tough one, and that is part of our purpose. you know, you need to look for a three things. you need to start with your hard. what is that caused the you feel most-wanted. and then information on three critical things, the first three talked about many times is the finance of the organization. the second is the governance of the organization. we have seen some scary examples with that jane fonda foundation, madonna, they are the boss of everything and have no oversight. that third and most important thing for many young people more than ever is evidence of results. you have data that shows that there really doing a good job. peeple think that most charities have good results, but in fact it is the hardest thing to find. gerri: and a lot of money goes
6:24 pm
into administration. paying these tell at -- >> telemarketers. gerri: thank you for filling in the blank to really do the hard work and pay them a ton of money. what is the magic that really describes to me that they're spending their money out right away. what numbers should be looking for? >> one of three things. we like to see 75 percent go into program. the dangee is it could be a bad program. even if the money goes there, that is why you need results. gerri: any other metric you would talk about? >> in terms of finance, you want to see that they have our rainy day fund, a reserve. if they are on the edge and can barely manage, if they're is a crisis, they need some funds available for those kinds of situations. it is noble to have all the money going directly to the program every day, but if you don't have that rainy day fund you could be in trouble. gerri: if somebody -- it seems a you can have a higher profile with a smaller charity. on the other hand, you might
6:25 pm
have some kind of trouble simply because they are smaller. >> actually, we recommend somewhere in the middle. there is evidence that some of the mid-sized charities can be the most creative, innovative charities out there and now less likely to have the big bureaucracies, but they are not so small that they cannot scale to do something effective. i sometimes find from the research we have that they are some of the best. there are some situations where you have to have a large charity that has the capacity for a disaster or something, but when it comes to some of the most effective charities out there, they're often in the middle. gerri: let's talk about how to give. a lot of little tiny 1-time gifts. can i give any amount i want to in endowment, or is that for big donors? >> i think that most charities would welcome your support in whatever way, shape, or form you can give it. however, the best way that we think to give is to plan to give on a monthly basis so that they see the stability. you can help them with their cash flow and to prepare and
6:26 pm
plan. that is ideal rather than a big gift at the end of the year. then it could be a surprise. they cannot plan predict what to do next. gerri: in that think ultimately some of these -- are there many people who actually do make good on this? what proportion of givers our christmas, $25, hundred dollars, $500, and how many are every single month of the year turning over money? >> the majority give at the end of the year, and that is usually the time. most givers may not plan in this way, but the most effective, we think, are those that think of it as an investment, not just a gifted one time and plans. gerri: all right. 22 percent of the gives occur right now. make it count, people. thank you for coming on. good to see. merry christmas. we may have avoided a dollar a gallon milk, but there are still concerns of the passage of the farm belt. we will go to a farm coming up. thanks in part to the government shut down and the men surrounding obamacare, more and
