beat thei10-year lipper avere. t. rowe price. inest with confidence. request a prospectus or summary prospectu with investment informion, risks, fees and expenses to read and considecarefully beforinvesting. gerri: hello, everybody, i'm gerri willis. right now on "the willis report," is google giving investor the shaft? we're taking on corporate control versus shareholder rights. also, the best advice you will ever hear about retirement. the daughter of charles schwab is here. renting versus owning. we're taking you to the places where it is cheaper to buy than rent. we're watching out for you, on "the willis report." gerri: google today pulling one of the more unusual technical manuevers the stock market has seen in a while. it is splitting its stock two for one. while that doesn't sound unusual, here's the twist. the new shares will have no

voting power. while the value of your investment won't change, your say over how google is run will. ed butowsky from chatwood capital investments joins me now. ed, good to see you. i want to show what folks are going on here. here is the google split. class-a shares will have some kind of a voting opportunity and class c, no vote, you won't be able to vote those shares. founders appear to lock in control with this move. ed, how do you read it? >> this is like a stealth-like poison pill. what they're doing you have three classes of shares real soon. the class b are founder shares. those are super voting shares. so the two founders along with schmidt, really control that they have 55 -- gerri: larry page, sergey brin, they control those voting shares. they control that entire bloc. >> exactly. it is starting to get lower their power, or their ability to vote because when they have

done, they have taken those class-a shares as of now and they have used those for options. so when people go to a company, gerri, they have options and when they exercise options they use those shares of stock. they use stocks to take care of people exercising their options plus, they were using shares of stock out of treasury of google to make acquisition. slowly but surely, this is what the whole thing about, the founders lost some of their voting and they don't want to go below 50. when they go below 50% of the vote they lose majority of the power. and then they're open to someone coming after them an helping and taking control of the company. they don't want that. gerri: they don't want that here is what they said in their own letter to shareholders. day-to-day dilution from routine equity-based employee compensation and other possible dilution because of stock-based acquisitions will likely undermined the dual class structure and our aspirations for google over the very long term. we're look locking in what we

got. we want to stay in control. that is what this is all about. good for them but not sew good for individual shareholders right? >> no. gerri: you said this is putin move. >> i call it that because what they're doing in reverse way to make sure nobody comes in to take over their company. you know what? they have the ability to do it. if voters don't like it or excuse me, people who buy those shares don't like it they could always sell it. people get all the other benefits with this new class of share, gerri. they just don't have the ability to vote. what they're really doing they're saying -- gerri: let me take issue with something you said. their company? >> okay. gerri: it ain't their company, it is public company. publicly-traded. you have to operate the thing with eye toward shareholders. while they hold 56% right now, there are other folks that own a piece of the act too. that is my issue with this. do you have an issue as well? >> i agree with you. i have a big issue with you. i misspoke in that request, right now they don't want to

lose the super voting. that's why they're putting this in place. you know what? we have public companies and one of the cornerstones, most important thing about having a public company is the ability to vote your shares. and they are stripping that away from you. and that to me, i don't like at all. gerri: all right. so here's the stock that has been hugely successful for shareholders, right? they are up a thousand percent since the ipo 10 years ago, 1,000%. so do these changes, will this affect the stock performance at all? >> i don't believe so. it is not going to hurt corporate earnings. it is not diluting the stock. all it is doing is literally creating a stock split. so it doesn't do anything to actual earnings of the company, nor does it really negatively impact other than losing voting rights to any shareholder. from that standpoint, there is nothing that anyone who is watching right now has to be concerned about in respect to that. gerri: you know, there was a class-action lawsuit over this. this is the endgame here, the

resolution of all that. if the shares, these two classes start trading differently, google will have to come in with some cash. >> yeah. gerri: this is interesting scenario. and they're not alone. frankly a lot of media companies do exactly the same thing including the company that work for, fox. >> sure. gerri: it is not unusual but for individuals, for individual shareholders who are looking out for their rights, they want to be part of the action, this isn't in their favor, is it? >> that is not in their favor. you bring up a great point there, there will be a time period where you have the class c and class-a shares. even though they're getting, switching symbols the class c is getting symbol for class a which i don't understand at all. it is confusing. maybe they're doing a mind game with us. look over here whale i do this? at the same time there will be possibly be arbitrage between the two classes. google said we'll come

out-of-pocket to make up the difference. they're doing everything they can to look like good guys while they're stripping most shareholders of share right to voight on corporate proxies. that is the problem. gerri: one other thing i want to ask you about, some folks are saying hey, gerri, look, this will lock out activist shareholders. they will not be able to wedge themselves in here, create havoc, true? >> without any question. they might take and get some voting but talking to three people, the three people we talked about. you know you're not brogue to see carl icahn coming in there to take a big position or bill ackman or any of those people. they know right up front they have no power. if they have no power they will not go there. gerri: ed, great job. very interesting, putin-like move. >> that's right. thanks. gerri: thanks for being with us. good to see you. >> absolutely, thank thank you. you too. gerri: from your bottom line to your waistline, you have got to hear this story. big government cooking up new ways to get you, the body they

always wanted. in fact uncle sam wants to send you text messages to get you in shape. they will tell you if you're fat. matted welch, co-host of "the independents, editor-in-chief of "reason" magazine. >> thanks very much for having me. gerri: when i heard the story this morning the top of my head blew off. the idea that the federal government will tell me i weigh too much or tell me how to eat makes me a little lunatic. >> been doing this for 25, if you think about the food pyramid, that has been disowned forever. every five years since 1908 there is dietary guideline committee. a bunch of academic that is sit around and try to tell is everybody in america over the age of two, one of the best ways to eat in order to prevent disease and what they call inaccurately obesity >> you know, okay, so you come up with some rules. don't get in my face and text me that really drives me crazy.

>> they have spent around $3 million, studying the possibility of using social media to encourage, to nudge people, maybe shame them just a little bit, in order to have a better healthy diet. text messages on your phone, this is literally something that bureaucrats are thinking about doing to try to shame you into getting a good bmi. gerri: here is -- body mass index, bmi. >> we're all watching ourselves. gerri: we're super fit. oh, boy. here are some of the text messages. tell me how you would feel. tweet me at gerri willis@fbn if uncle sam sent you this. remind yourself of motivations for losing weight. if you find it hard to stay motivated write down one reason you want to lose weight. try to heat low-fat foods. a miracle they figured this out. this is good way to cut calories. >> or exercise a little bit. this is really backwards in retrograde at a time americans are more and more coming up with

their own system through their iphone, measuring the heart weight and how many steps they're walking. people can figure this out on their own. these guidelines -- >> i had my ekg on cell phone yesterday. >> that is great. that the future where we run ourselves. the problem with this committee, their guidelines become approach we take for school lunch menus, for military food. gerri: everybody has to live by it. >> every federal calf fear yaw so people will have to live by whatever they come up with. gerri: this one really drives me crazy. i have to read these because they make peanuts. there are 1440 minutes in the day. try to find 10 minutes to exercise. what a harppy the government is. >> i was doing the math in my head, seeing if they got the calculator right in this case. gerri: here is the push back you get from your argument what you're saying whether the federal government should get involved. so we socialize costs, right? the idea, if you have a heart attack, if you have diabetes i pay part of that tab because i'm

paying for obamacare, i'm paying for socialized medicine, medicare and medicaid chips, how do you respond to that? >> for one, they said this about smoking a lot. smokers saved us money by dying young. thank you, smokers. gerri: that is awful. that is awful. >> that is the calculation you're introducing, when you treat people like how much they're going to cost us as a society, that's kind of a sick way of looking at things. this is the one of the bad consequences having federal government having more and more to do with our health care, it gives everyone a stake in my personal life choices. that shouldn't be your stake. it shouldn't be anything. it should -- gerri: my business. >> your business. gerri: don't text me. so we paid a behavioral psychologist 14 -- $174,000 for texts for diet study. $1500. $3 million we're paying out so they can lecture us. >> constantly. they take it as granted, and this is true in local governments even more than the federal government and new york

under mayor bloomberg as we all know, he tried to ban certain types of drinks. los angeles, there are whole neighborhoods that can't have new fast-food restaurants open because they think local people are too poor and making wrong decisions. >> those restaurants are having new options and offering different kinds of things. >> they would change if you allowed them to open up and have free market to decide exactly what kind of restaurants people want in the neighborhood. there is this notion that peer people, especially are too dumb to make good choices. that is why that they are, we have this obesity epidemic this it is paternal and wrong where americans are going. we are figuring out nutrition on our own and figuring out where our food is sourced from and all that kind of stuff. the government is not helping that process. the biggest role government has in food and serving the awful stuff that they serve in public schools. gerri: people know. people know. they make the choice. it is their choice to make. people choose to eat fatty foods. people choose to drink diet cola

and regular cola. that is what america is about. make the choices. pay the piper. >> good news, seems like obesity has crested. we're not increasing as much as it has been in recent years. there is study that came out a month or so ago about kids under the age of five. they have seen a dramatic drop in obesity. gerri: wonder if i can text uncle sam back? no -- >> how many minutes a day again? gerri: thank you. matt, thanks for coming on. >> thanks for having me. gerri: wow, we want to know what you think. here is our question tonight. you guessed it. do you need the federal government to help you lose weight? log on to gerriwillis.com. vote on the right-hand side of the screen. i will share the results at the end of tonight's show. tune into "the independents, every night, 9:00 p.m. eastern time right here on the fox business network. helping you get the most bang for your buck when it comes to selling your car. you can sell your used car and make a ton of dough. mary barra is back in front of

gerri: round two on the hill for gm ceo mary barra. this time the senate took a hark scher tone with here is my favorite car expert, lauren fix. welcome back to the show. >> thank you, gerry. gerri: i want to start with what some of these senators said to her today. they were tough. >> is there any other instances where gm is actually changing a part and fixing a defect and keeps the part number the same? this is criminal deception. >> is that cobalt car as driven now, safe for your daughters to drive? the other thing that we now know, that it would only cost $2 to repair. and it was apparently $2 too much for general motors to act despite a decade of warnings. >> you're in really important person to this company. something, something is very

strange that such a top employee would know nothing. gerri: red hot stuff and, you know, i look at these comments and i've been critical of gm very critical. there are lot of people to point a finger at here, lauren. what do you say? >> i think there is more than one person. i know that poor mary is taking the full bruntbrunt of it all. yesterday was heated. this is much more intense today. they did have a point though about not changing the part numbers. these are procedures that were in place before mary was a ceo. however, she was in quality control. she wasn't supply chain. so then she is the person but part of a larger team that was obviously insulating what the truth was going on from the ceo. however until we get rick wagoner on the stand will not say anything, if he does, what will he say? as a ceo they will not tell me about every little problem. i think we need to look at delphi as well. gerri: delphi, nhtsa. where the heck --

>> absolutely. gerri: we're calling all over the government agency supposed to be regulating this stuff and frankly got reports all along the way? >> i agree with you. that is absolutely, a couple weeks ago i called it nhtsa-gate and you called it gm-gate. gm screwed up and they have to sort out procedures and problems and quality control. delphi screwed up by supplying a part that didn't meet qf 9000 quality control ratings which have been in place since 1995. however nhtsa didn't catch it. did they give rick wagoner a check for $10 million and say disapfire please? he literally has not been seen by anyone. which says to me there are a lot of people that know a lot more than we're being told. gerri: it's a tragedy on some levels. >> absolutely. gerri: we had victims families on yesterday, just tragic. so many people to point the finger at. quickly, mary barra, how did she

fare today? is she holding up gm's legacy and speaking well for the company? >> i think she is considering the situation. she has only been in the position for three months. they're asking her to tell them information she hasn't received until a few weeks ago. there are 286,000 pages of content and you know, i'm sure she has lawyers looking at it and guiding her on what to say, you can't say this. at other end you have senators coming at her full force. gerri: right. >> i think they will have to bring more executives in. a. a lot more investigation and making her the only person at fault i don't believe is the answer. i believe there is a lot of people at fault. what i would love to see happen, everybody put a billion dollars into a victim's fund. there is money for people who lost family members and people who have had accidents and potentially blamed them. gerri: that is another debate, lauren. thank you for being with us tonight. appreciate your comments. thank you so much. >> thank you. gerri: well, you know it is not just gm having to deal with recalls these days. chrysler recalling nearly

additional supply, coming from the manufacture you ares because of lease rate hanging around 25% or so, the supply coming up, econ 101 as supply goes up, prices will come down and that is impacting depreciation. gerri: let's get to it, what do you want to do if you want to sell your car, used car. you say recondition it, what do you mean. >> this is recondition is what the dealer will do to try to sell it to the public. take care of odds and ends. check engine light is on. if tires are flat, anything you can fix to bring the car up to, up to an acceptable level for a buyer. you want to take care of that so you don't have any unanswered questions when folks test drive your car. >> say take detailed pictures is my cell phone okay to do that with, my smartphone? >> if you've got a pretty nice smartphone there, is good camera on iphone 5. that might be okay. but you want to take really what is quantity over quality here. you want to take as many pictures inside and out of every

little detail thaw possibly can. you want to document everything possibly can, anything wrong wr. any maintenance records. pull vehicle history report. get everything that you have on the car to make it available for potential buyer so they have the confidence to take a look at your car. gerri: alec, you have to figure out how much you will ask for, right? how do you even think about that? how do you know 2 wouldn't be better to use it as a trade-in. >> yes, so i think one of the toughest parts to consumers what they should ask for the vehicle. that is where third party resource, kbb.com comes into play. go through the site and get accurate assessment whether the car is good, very good, fair. give us mileage and we'll give you a number based on transactions that we see in our data. gerri: this is big thing for a lot of people out there. you say list your vehicle online. play it safe. what do you mean by that? >> when we say play it safe,

obviously everyone is aspirational. you want to get maximum value for the car but don't want to putnam per significantly higher than other listings in the marketplace. before you list the car, check your value. want to check "auto trader" around craig's list and see where listings are coming in. you don't want a price too high above market. think of attention span of yourself buying online. you give everything a second 1/2 moving on to the next listing. if you priced too high you lost that person's attention. gerri: makes a lot of sense to me. alec, thanks for coming on, great job. >> thanks for coming on. gerri: now if you know how to sell your car, if you own one of most popular used cars you have a leg up on that market. tonight's top five list. ford f-150, the country's favorite pickup has average resail price of $22,000. number four, honda civic selling 13 grand. this vehicle is popular for reputation of reliability. makes up just 2% of the used car
