tv   The Willis Report  FOX Business  April 20, 2014 4:00am-5:01am EDT

4:00 am
>> i'm ready. >> all right. >> oh, dear! oh, no! whoa. stay tuned for "across america" reporting earnings, very busy week. liz: have a lovely weekend, "the willis report" is next. gerri: i'm gerri willis, right now on "the willis report." it's the wave of the future, robot nurses, to skies filled with drones. what do we think of this new technology? we'll have the results of a new survey. also happy birthday to the ford mustang. i'll check out the car that spent 50 years burning up the american highways. >> look at that. gerri: grab your resume, tips on honing that critical job search tool. we're watching out for you tonight on "the willis report." well, is technology a force for good or bad in our society? it's a question we keep asking ourselves as the latest new
4:01 am
gizmo or big technology advance comes our way, do we like change? now the results of a new survey giving us answers. for more on this todd hazelton from techno buffalo and adam levin, welcome back to the show, adam and good to see you for the first time, todd. >> thank you, gerri. david: news that a big chain three months ago heard about the breach of customer data. only now we're finding three million people are impacted. what's going on? >> this is a situation like deja vu, here we go again. a credit card database was breached. 2.6 million credit cards and think aaron's was 400,000 cards and it would appear it probably is the same software, malware that was the problem for target. gerri: that was what? 40 million people? >> we don't know if there's a
4:02 am
second michaels database, we're waiting for that shoe to drop. gerri: todd, these are the card readers inside the store. this is nothing new. >> that is the misconception, people were afraid of using credit cards online, these are all connected databases, in the case of target they used database going through the back door literally with another third party company to get into target's access and i think the same thing happens with the credit card. gerri: it does boil down to our connected lives and using the devices and don't really know the impacts of all of this. this "pew research survey" was so interesting, people really started thinking about, what do you think of this? would you like to ride in a driverless car? 50% say no. 48% say yes. would you get a brain implant to improve your memory. i'd say yes to that. 72% of the people say no. adam, what do you think? do we have too much technology? do you think there are people out there who are saying we've
4:03 am
gone a little bit too far? >> i think it's important for technology to continue to evolve. what concerns me is if security that will protect us when something goes wrong with the technology doesn't evolve as quickly as the technology. gerri: back up. is that what you're talking about? >> more than about backups, if you're driving a driverlessar and a hacker takes control of the car, where are the protocols? gerri: with the gm story, they can't get a car right that has a driver for goodness sake. i'm going to trust the technology of a car to drive me? i don't know. >> can i get in on that? gerri: sure! >> we have a lot to be excited for especially with driverless cars. look at the way airplanes are, pilot error is really the main reason they crash it seems like, why not let the cars drive. see where they can go? i'll ride in one.
4:04 am
gerri: 90% of car accidents caused by folks, by people. at the same time, i like driving, i don't want to give it up. why should i turn over to the machines and the machine switches do fail. >> i feel safer with the machine doing it, the machine is not worried about drinking too much. machine is not looking at cell phone every five minutes. the machine is focused on the road and humans aren't. >> i don't think we're quite there yet. i think it's going to take more technological development to get there. and as we get there, people will catch up in terms of comfort level, but i'm always concerned and it doesn't matter how great any system, is the weakest link are people. when you develop these things, the bugs, the problems, they are in the development process or somebody downloading the wrong information, so it's a concern. gerri: here's my reality on this stuff, we're talking about technology as if it's all the same, really. but what we're really talking about are products that are being marketed, and i think the american public is asked to accept all products, all new
4:05 am
innovation because it's the right thing to do. we should discern, what's good, what's bad? what works for me? what keeps my personal information personal. how do i keep in touch with family in a real way and not a fake way where we have half conversations. >> i think google has the best saying don't be evil. gerri: don't be evil? [ laughter ]. >> don't be evil, exactly. the problem is looking at what facebook did where they have the friend nap. but then they hide it. they are using the friend map to sell information data and advertisements. gerri: see what i'm saying? >> not like hey, find out where your friends are. gerri: now we can thank you. >> they gather the data and half the time, nobody knows what they're doing with the data. and the truth is even with the find a friend thing, that scares me to death. do you need to tell every friend where you are?
4:06 am
because one thing that's for sure, if they know where you are, they know where you're not, which opens you up to burglary and other problems. gerri: what about the irs, they bought the technology to follow your car wherever it goes. they know if you're wasting your money at a strip club or something. i don't know what they're doing. seems that's a little too much. what do you say, todd? >> if they want to find you they have phone data anyway. license plate, they already have that information. that's been going on for years, they drive by and scan for cars. if they are chasing tax fraud, it might be better for us. >> we have fastrak, they like tsa pre-check. gerri: i love tsa pre-check. they know everything about me. >> that's the greatest thing in the world. problem is as the data is collected, there was a law passed in the 90s because someone purchased information from a dmv about an actress and went to her home, a stalker and
4:07 am
ended up killing her and they passed a law that outlawed dmv selling that information. so it's a question of gathering information is one thing, using it for the right thing is a good thing, unfortunately there are so many people that would like to get their hands on the information for the wrong reasons. gerri: todd, last word? >> i absolutely agree with mr. levin. these are great things, they help advance our lifestyles and technology moving forward is something we want and love. we're always at risk. gerri: to your point and underlying your perspective. the pew research says 59% of us say we believe technology developments will make our lives better in the next half century. we're optimistic but i think we should be critical. >> cautiously optimistic, we should be. gerri: great job. todd and adam, thank you so much. now we want to know what you think. here's our question tonight. log onto gerriwillis.com, i'll
4:08 am
show you the results at the end of the show. you can just talk to somebody, you don't have to text or e-mail them. there are other ways. well, new developments on the keystone story. another delay for the pipeline. the state department announcing today it is extending the comment period for the keystone xl pipeline. the department maintains the review process is not starting over but simply giving regulatory agencies to weigh in on whether the government should approve it. the government is not saying how much longer the review will take, however it is likely the final decision comes after the november midterm elections. surprise. and more to come this hour, we're just getting started. including how you spring clean your resume to land the dream job, and a startling new report that millions of americans are misdiagnosed at the doctor's office. you won't believe the numbers, next.
4:09 am
4:10 am
4:11 am
. gerri: troubling new data showing millions of americans, possibly 12 million getting the wrong diagnosis with many facing life-threatening conditions. joining me to talk about the story dr. peter hazelstein.
4:12 am
good to have you here, why are so many people misdiagnosed? >> that's the question, gerri. what we have is the perfect storm, we have doctors under intense scrutiny in terms of how much money we spend on each patient, on every test. at the same time, the american population is aging rapidly. there are 10,000 new medicare patients every day, and these are the folks who have health care. and finally most of us were raised to at least not challenge or question doctors, and sometimes revere them. have you this combination of economic pressure on physicians and health care systems to reduce costs and aging population of patients who have health needs, and patients in general who don't want to question or push back on their doctors, and the result is a stunning number 1 out of 20 americans who visits doctor each year is misdiagnosed, and gerri, half of those, half of those, six million people have
4:13 am
the potential to suffer serious harm from a delayed or misdiagnosis. gerri: dr. peter, that's what i was going to ask you about next. what are the potential consequences from this? >> well, i think we can all appreciate in the extreme examples of you have a lung cancer or a colon cancer or breast cancer, and you are not diagnosed in a timely fashion, and if you wait one week, two weeks, that may be okay. in some cases people are waiting months before the symptoms become so bad that they return to the doctor. waiting a couple months for cancer is no one's best interest. we know cancer tries to spread. the same challenge with heart disease, lung disease, waiting doesn't help. misdiagnosis doesn't help. gerri: here's what i don't understand. one of the factors is intense pressure to control costs. how does that lead to misdiagnosis? >> that's a challenging question that a lot of subtleties to it. doctors have become aware that we're really closely
4:14 am
scrutinized for every health care dollar we spend. we're analyzed in terms of how much money do we spend to evaluate and treat disease a versus b. we're very, very aware of that. at the same time, the population rolls are growing, we're incredibly busy. it may be we stop and think, i don't know if this patient has something significant, let's follow him or her. nothing like that would be intentional, none of us entered medical school to hurt anybody. there is a lot of scrutiny over how we evaluate patients and spend health care dollars. gerri: as a matter of fact, some of the trade organizations for specialty docs like oncology experts are pressured to bring down prices. that can change your diagnosis too. that can change how you view what somebody has and how you're willing to treat it. >> exactly right. health care reform is this yin
4:15 am
and yang, a great drive to improve quality and great drive to reduce costs. it's much easier to think about y office than improving quality. it may not be ordering a more expensive test because i'm not convinced it's necessary. there is a lot of pressure on physicians to reduce costs while delivering better quality and i think when you look at numbers, 12 million americans misdiagnosed, there is cause for concern and pause here. gerri: it's a fascinating study but you're a patient advocate, what do you tell patients to do about the problem? >> i've written a book for patients and families called own your cancer, a take charge guide for the recently diagnosed and those who love them. it can be broadened to say own your health. i remind patients before they come into the office and put on the silly gown and sit in the cold room, they have owned their lives, they made decisions about careers, raising children, which mortgage to accept, and come into my office and abandon all
4:16 am
ownership of their health. so i encourage people to question their doctors respectfully, you can challenge it. patients need to understand that today they have to take responsibility for understanding some basic health care questions, and you want to look for a doctor who will be your partner, not the one who tells you everything to do. that means you have to think about who's the right doctor in terms of personality fit. but the reality is the burden is going to fall back on average americans to own their health care just like they own other aspects of their life. gerri: thanks for coming on, it's a diy world, we're responsible for everything, our health, retirement, you name it. thanks so much. fascinating conversation, appreciate your time. >> thank you, gerri. appreciate it. gerri: rev up your engines, heading to the 2014 international auto show, the iconic muscle car turns 50. take a look.

4:21 am
coach. take a look. i'm here for the 50th anniversary of the mustang. really exciting. we're going to show it to you in just a second. i want to tell you this. the original mustang in 1964 sold less than $2500. amazing. let's go take a look. ♪. gerri: everybody is familiar with the profile. what makes the mustang a mustang? >> remember in 1964 we were used to bigger cars, different generation, and lee iacocca put a longer body hood, options of six cylinder engine, and later on the shelby was a high-performance v-8 and letting you build what you want and let consumers fall in love with the car. gerri: this is the brand spanking new limited edition, they're only going to make
4:22 am
1964, get it? 1964 of the special editions, gorgeous, i love the color. >> this is wimbledon white, it's the original color of the shelbys as well. >> like a shudder almost. >> the original horse and corral which is the running horse with the chrome corral. this is the iconic of the gt of 50 years as well as the chrome around the taillight. this car is very special, they are all signed by bill ford and limited edition, this is number one you're sitting in. gerri: i feel like i'm in the cockpit of an airplane for goodness sake. >> you look at the details, they brought the white on the inside to bring in the youth market, in addition bringing in the flavor of having the gauges right here. they used to have gauge pods on either side of the steering wheel. it can be manual or automatic.
4:23 am
they told 650,000 cars from april 64o april 65. i assume if you want one from a dealer they're either going to keep it or it's going to be a high-priced one. gerri: let's look at another version of this car that you want to show me. >> all right. every year different color is popular. isn't there a yellow for the mustang, the one on top of the empire state building? >> really bright, intense, it's a statement piece. gerri: this is a sixth generation, tell me about that. >> the first generation was in 1964 through 1966. in '67 they made it bigger and then got to the 70s bigger. 71 to 73 was a very long looking almost like a challenger looking longer front hood and in 74 to 78 we had a gas crunch and they went to the mustang 2 chassis. they were small, and came out with v-8 engines and the convertible in 83. this is the sixth generation
4:24 am
car. this car is so much fun. so iconic that it let's people have their freedom. it was run free like a pony, that's how the pony car came up. gerri: lauren, thank you. >> thank you. gerri: ford spent 50 years burning up american highways and look forward to 50 more. what a great ride. a special thanks to lauren and her daughter shelby, yes, named for mustangs. no kidding. check out my twitter feed for more of the mustang, we have cool pictures there. time for a look at stories you're cooking on foxbusiness.com. a california lawsuit claims continental's air bag systems in the recalled gm vehicles were defectist and air bag system would shut off when the key switch positioned. continental is saying it has not seen the suit so it cannot provide comment. new requirements for pork producers, usda requiring pork producers to report instances

4:26 am
perfect job. expert advice coming up.
4:27 am
4:28 am
4:29 am
gerri: did you did for millions of americans is it tough. and a lot tougher if you don't make a great first impression. and that starts with a killer resume. tony coming you are the man when it comes to getting a job. absolutely no doubt about it. first thing is first. tell me the rules of the road when it comes to the resume. >> most people don't realize that there's a few thing. first of all, the first three or four people that are looking at your resume are scanning it. they are not reading it.
4:30 am
especially if it is online. it's not red like you think it is. they can delete yours very quickly and what they need to know is where did you are, how long were you there. what did the company do? what did you do there? and how old were you at doing it. if you can communicate those, you are one step closer to getting an interview. the on eye level eisai. now, i want to say to our viewers who were kind enough to send in their resumes, we will not completely identify you. that be, be prepared for some harsh criticism. but it's going to make your resume better. kevin and pennsylvania. he's a young guy. what do we tell him? >> you expand on the experience that you got rid and kevin, you
4:31 am
didn't spell professional writer. people are going to look at this way, this void graduated from college and he can even spell. so he's out. so that profile, it's okay, not bad. and people might like lacrosse, some people don't. and so personal stuff like that does not help. what helps is what did you do, how did you do it, how successful were you. gerri: one thing he put you put on here if he got his gdp. >> that is not so bad. can you tell i'm an economics reporter? [applause] it must be friday. let's talk about david in california. because i thought that this was really interesting.
4:32 am
nobody cares about the nba or your work ethic. were you going to put on a resume? i don't have one? so all of this, this first page, lousy. in fact, when they read that online, they are going to delete it because the first page doesn't say anything. and then maybe they get to the second page which is somewhat reasonable. the last page, he has his picture on it. you are not getting a date. for god sakes are getting an interview. nobody cares that you have your smiling face on here. they want to know what you going to do for me today and that doesn't help you stay on at the top of this you are talking about the first page is cluttered. the man has listed the coursework he has taken.
4:33 am
>> no one cares about your academic. if you're getting your phd. but the rest of people don't care. you're competing with 180 other resumes. they're looking at it and thinking, do i want to interview this guy or not? >> david, kudos to you. you have a video resume. watch this. >> hello, my name is david and i have an international relations background. [speaking in native tongue] yanqui speaking korean there. he's showing his language skills. >> no, no, no. most people don't do video interviews very well. and most employers on england a look at that. they will decide whether or not
4:34 am
they will have him in the majority of the people that he is going to try to get a job where really don't care. you might want to say on his resume that he's bilingual, but that is not going to help him. he will become another resume from new jersey. and i thought this was stellar or adhesive elfman. so he tells this perspective where they managed to million dollar sales territory. he's got metrics. >> numbers selin stories to tell. numbers on resume are excellent. this guy has a really good resume. the only thing that i could recommend that he should do a differently -- bold what you do. it tells because we work for, what he did, and then he an
4:35 am
emphasize a little bit more about the successes that he had and then he'd be just as well off. at this resume should get him an interview. the one we have one more from bob. we just wanted to show this because it looks pretty and it's got a good font. readable, organize well. >> it's a good resume. the technical consulting arena is a little bit different than finding a permanent job. but it's very well written. it says exactly who he works for, what he did and the successes that he had. this is a good one and he doesn't have that stuff on the objective and the employer that reads this doesn't care about europe. he cares about his object of and writing down to your object is is to get a job? get it off of there, no one reads that stuff. and most of them are junk. the bob did a good job.
4:36 am
gerri: i think that's great advice. if you have one last word for people, what would it be? when you look for a job either that resume out there. visé? >> followed with a phone call to the people that you send resume to. people think it will magically get them a job and it's not. after you send the resume, pick up the phone and call somebody that you might be wanting to work or and sell yourself into an interview. follow-up and don't just sit there and hit the send button and hope as i said before. hope is not a strategy. you have to send the resume, follow-up with a phone call and get an interview. that is what is going to get you the job. gerri: tony, the leading job-search person. if you want to know about getting a job, go to job-search solutions.com. a lot of great advice for you. it's really tough, he has some great words of wisdom for you. okay, let's talk about easter.
4:37 am
do you like your easter eggs poached? it will cost you this year. fox business is going to the source to find out what is behind the jump in price. it looks pretty there. >> i want to take you into the henhouse. we are surrounded not only by hans but three generations of poultry farmers here. they did this basket full of eggs. these are fresh from the hands. take a look at the poultry prices and specifically egg prices. we are seeing crisis the highest in six years? >> yes, correct. three years and demand is high. the perfect scenario for high
4:38 am
prices. gerri: here is one of the things as well. >> yes, this is the interest of naturally raised eggs. that is a beautifully fresh egg. this is one of the things that is driving this. people are willing to pay $8 dozen for these? >> yes, they are. because of the freshness and these birds are on grass that has all of the healthy omega fats that animals get from eating grass. what boils down to is the freshness. >> these chickens that we see here, $8 a dozen is not chicken feed. but that's what that is. getting some attention over here. and this is non-gym all. >> that's right. we raise it here on the arm and we mix it and it makes for excellent quality eggs that you see right here. >> so there you have it.
4:39 am
these day people are willing to spend more. gerri: listen, i think this is fascinating about the eggs and i love the whole lifecycle. but let's not forget about easter ham. pork prices through the roof. >> yes, perhaps i could pick one out here for you. [laughter] >> which are absolutely right. tremendously high, same factory is driving it. overseas demand. developing countries like china, india. we demand over there. it's driving up prices hurdler seeing this across the board in terms of food.
4:40 am
gerri: i couldn't agree with you more. inflation is there and we are all seeing it. fascinating interview. thank you for coming on the show tonight. >> you're welcome. always happy to come from america's family farm. gerri: okay, still to come. how one participant is handling going credit card free. and two women taking two major she where companies to court heard that you have a case or is it built upon flimsy
4:41 am
4:42 am
4:43 am
gerri: schaper are promising to do away with those moms and those bumps. two massachusetts women say some of the claims that it lived up to its name. joining me now is legal analyst
4:44 am
lis wiehl. over to you first. we know no one who wear this stuff? yes. what is the claim of these women? >> they are saying that we bought this swimwear. and some women wear them for it eight hours a day. and it's supposed to go osmosis we into your skin. anyway, it didn't work. so they are suing. so this company, they sell these things for twice the price of a regular bra or girdle. so these women are being brought in to buy into this stuff.
4:45 am
but it's wrong for them to be misleading in their advertising. gerri: 40 think of this? >> this is baloney for so many reasons. [laughter] >> there's a lot of misrepresentation. basically saying our product can do this or that. this is a free marketplace. >> that's what they said. is if the viewer this for eight hours a day seven days a week, you will lose weight. gerri: is it losing weight or getting rid of the temples? >> melting fat. >> addressing cellulite. but i will tell you that there is no way. there is a concept called caveat emptor in the law meaning i am
4:46 am
aware. that ill of goods, you say you go ahead, and in 28 days look like marilyn monroe. who's going to believe that? is basically an attempt in this way. >> there's also the breach of implied warranty where it says if you buy this project, it's not going to do what it's supposed to do. >> but it says it's been effective doing this and so you have to kind of know that it might not work. and the other issue is that what they get from this lawsuit? a refund. >> to what they want to do is a class-action and how much money they will get, i'm not sure, but it's clearly a company here that is just trading on women in
4:47 am
securities. >> on a clear winner in this case. i hate to say this. [laughter] >> i do think, really? you think rubbing her body with caffeine environments will make you lose weight? when did you get off the turnip truck remap. [applause] >> the point is that they are being overcharged for this stuff. >> they are going to raise the price and you know it as well as i do with the lawyers take a certain percentage. these women will get nothing if
4:48 am
the words were not stepped in. in a refund is not enough that some and if you have all these women getting billed again and again. we shouldn't think that caffeine environments are going to swimmer by audio. but if they make that warranty and they don't hold up. gerri: we have to go here. >> cave men and women, it's been oldest trick in the book.
4:49 am
4:50 am
4:51 am
4:52 am
gerri: earlier this week. we introduced you to chris lynch. he wants to take "the willis report" cash challenge. he left the credit card home and has gone cash only. >> you are already cash challenge. what's it like? >> no, it has been interesting. so before i would use a lot of debit and credit cards for different situations. when all of the security breaches took place i thought okay, maybe it's time to go back to cash like i did in high school and college back in the 80s and 90s. so that is what kind of motivated me to do it. so i really got serious about it in april and it went well or it it's been a fine adjustment. cash is king and a cutesy responsible.
4:53 am
gerri: sometimes you need more of it. have you run into any challenges of our? is your anything in the details of managing this day-to-day? >> sometimes if you underestimate the amount of money that you should keep with you, you may have to go to the atm and get more out. so i might have to go to an atm and incur fees that way. and sometimes people run out of change. unlike, i'm trying to help you out and he's like, well, i'm out of change. and i'm like, okay, i don't have a debit card. >> is interesting because, you know, what you find is the people running the cash register is, they're like, what you mean about cash? two oh, yes. but it's also fun to make jokes.
4:54 am
gerri: it is a legal tender in the usa. okay, tell me what your goals are. you've been pretty committed to this and you must have something in their minds either going for? two is, i'm taking a vacation to las vegas area so i really want to take cash and get into the habit of spending only what i budgeted. some really forcing myself to do that and also what i call a feel-good fun. if i come under budget i can say that money and put that towards something like electronics. so i'm totally into buying toys. but that's something that keeps me motivated and responsible. i love the discipline of that because once you're out of cash, you're out to you and you have an interesting personal story. you've written a book on diabetes and for you it's all about having control of yourself and your life and your
4:55 am
resources. for showing your book right now. can you tell me your ultimate sort of personal goal here with these things? >> my goal is discipline. one of the things i love about your show is that this is a good discipline here on fox that allows you to budget yourself with using a different vehicle. casually as is made they on target and that way i can stay honest with what i'm trying to spend each day and what i'm trying to accomplish as far as goals are concerned. so my goal would be to have a good retirement on the road and find ways of taking some of the extra money and divorcing that if investment. but the goal is really be safer so that when the regis come in i am prepared. so now having cash is kind of a wave of life.
4:56 am
so i want to add peace and love and joy and happiness and financial responsibility. the one that really appeals to me. that idea of having control over yourself and your resources and what you own and what you owe. chris, thank you for coming on. we will have you back to talk more about this. >> i will be back. up. a short word that's a tall order. up your game. up the ante. and if you stumble, you get back up. up isn't easy, and we ought to know. we're in the business of up. everyday delta flies a quarter of million people while investing billions improving everything from booking to baggage claim. we're raising the bar on flying and tomorrow we will up it yet again.
4:57 am
4:58 am
4:59 am
>> can you have too much of a good thing? said is the question at the top of the show. you can have too much technology is every invention and a wonder to improve our lives? it is up to us to protect our privacy from the devices that share and sell and market our data but in my view to make sure technology does not take place the real
5:00 am
relationships with real people. that is what we should focus on. have the greats weekend. we will see you on monday. happy easter. neil: we don't trust anyone. trust me. welcome, everybody. i am neil cavuto. good news apparently a good number are suspicious of those with good intentions it is so bad we ask if their intentions are good at all. it goes to the top of government. 49% the white house potentially told the irs to target conservatives. the same week six out of 10 think the president has lied in general to get his way that is the
