5:00 pm
721.9 million versus the expectation of 823. their fourth quarter revenue, falling 8.1%. david: down about 5% right now. we will be watching lion's gate tomorrow. "the willis report" is next. gerri: hello, everybody, i'm gerri willis. right now on "the willis report," the gm oral scandal, was there a cover-up? the engineer at the center of the fiasco speaks to congressional investigation tort the. the latest case of waste, fraud and abuse in medicare. is your doctorrying off taxpayers. slight delay or canceled? no problem. warren buffett says there is new way to make money from lousy airline service. we're watching out for you on "the willis report." gerri: secret waiting lists allegations of corruption and widespread core are are up shun at va. we've been reporting it all
5:01 pm
week. there are 20 million vents in this country. how can they get the help they need while the va itself is in crisis. we have an air force veteran, former advisor to the department of veterans affairs now with concerned veterans for america. darren, welcome back to the show. great to have you here. >> thanks. gerri: i can assume there are literally thousands of vets tonight who need care and can't get it. what should they do? >> first of all what shinseki can do is waive existing contract mechanisms and waive for authorization. so all vets over 30 days get health care of their choice. the president and shinseki should do that. there is no way to wait on that. if you are a veteran and you are in that difficult situation, it's tough. if you have an option, if you have medicare, if you've got medicaid, if you have a private health care option use it.
5:02 pm
gerri: break this down a little bit because you've said already. shinseki said veterans can use private care if they want to. how will this happen? as a practical matter if i walk into a doctor's office or hospital will they take care of me? what kind of proof do i have to show them? will i be guaranteed some kind of coverage that will not come out of my pocket then? >> right now unless you have preauthorization from va the answer is number the va could go ahead quickly streamline the procedures. they have $9 billion put out for contracting network across the through triwhich is and healthnet they could -- triwest and healthnet. gerri: that is interesting to me. you were detailing what you said at first, they can flip a switch quickly and folks get what they need. why can't we get this done?
5:03 pm
these are america's heroes. this is major embarassment. they're not getting care they need by the thousands now. what will it take to get it taken care of, will you think. >> unfortunately it will take the president. shinseki can do this. he is part of the bureaucracy. they don't like people going out of the civil no matter what. shinseki needs to go. va nominee obama's done needs to go. obama should put out his own edict or whatever. and executives, and, go ahead and just do it. gerri: so if you're on eight wag list tonight, and you haven't heard anything back, what should you do? >> look, the bottom line is, if you are ill, go see a doctor. go to the emergency room. it is better to go ahead to a doctor now and deal with the bill later than like the veterans i dealt with who haven't, a year later after not being seen find out they have stage 4 cancer.
5:04 pm
take care of your they will now. worry about the bills later. it is not worth it. gerri: to wait and waist and wait. you are saying go to different facility, not a va facility. you've already tried that option. go to another hospital, another doctor. ask for square care, ask for it now. you say if you have access to medicare, medicaid, coverage from an employer, you can also buy your own insurance. there are options for that as well. i have to say, it is sort of cold comfort tonight for veterans, you know, they have been waiting for care for a long time. >> yeah. gerri: you mentioned shinseki. this is the fellow, the general, who is running the va department and has said, it makes him sick to his stomach. he is very upset about what has been going on. is that enough of an answer? people are calling for his head. is that what needs to happen? or what needs to change? >> well you know, good intentions are nice but we've had the ig report.
5:05 pm
we had confirmation of everything but yet he still doesn't act. he needs to go. he has a capable deputy secretary to fill in his shoes. we need action. >> i want you to respond to something speaker john boehner had to say today about this very issue. here's the speaker. >> i'm going to continue to reserve judgment on, on general shinseki. the question i ask is him resigning going to get us to the bottom of the problem? is it going to help us find find out what is going on. the answer i keep get something no. gerri: is the speaker making a good point here? i really respect the speaker but he is wrong on this. having been in the va everyone takes lead from secretary. the secretary is enabler in this. not someone fixes it. they know that they see he doesn't do anything about it. enables it to go on and on.
5:06 pm
until he goes and someone reformed-minded and knocking head doing something, nothing is going to change. he has got to go. it is the only way. gerri: you're in the catbird seat here. what are vets telling you what should happen next. >> well i've got to tell you, i talk to veterans around the country every day and they want him gone. they want he heads to roll. they want accountability, they want the system to change. they're sick of seeing either themselves being ill and dying or their friends being ill and dying. va for good number of years had a good reputation. it is back to the '80's, '90s where va is place to go to die. no veteran should have to wait for care and die because of it. it is unacceptable. gerri: unseatable is the right word. darren, thanks for come on the show. >> thank you very much. gerri: we want to know what you think about the problem. here is the our question tonight. should veterans care be privatized? that is one option. go on gerriwillis.com. vote on right-hand side of the
5:07 pm
screen. we'll share the results at the end of tonight's show. from one scandal to another. the ennear that gm cover ad deadly defect is talking to congressional investigators. ray did i giorgio said he previously knew nothing about the changes to faulty ignition switches. now reportedly saying he simply forgot. with more, congressman michael burgess on the house panel investigating gm. welcome back to the show. this suspended engineer, we talked about him a lot, ray degiorgio. he is described as distraught in front of this panel, your panel. what did you learn from him you didn't know before? >> first off, let me stress, this is an open and ongoing investigation. that in fact, it is unfortunate that someone decided to go to the press and begin to talk about data aaccumulated. we shouldn't identify people in
5:08 pm
good conscious came to before the committee and committee staff and be helpful. not helpful somewhere some went to the "new york times" and put the story out there preemptively. this is big investigation. we just today, got a production from the national highway traffic safety administration we've been waiting for since the formnal hearings were held several weeks ago. there is lot of material to cover. right now i don't think it serves anyone's good purpose to talk about witnesses and their testimony. we do have information to gather. we will be forthcoming when the time is correct. right now there is work going on. gerri: congressman, this report you just mentioned that you just received. can you give us any clues about what is in it? >> no, i can't. i heard about it as i was walking over here to interview with you. this is, this is important because remember, there were some serious questions that we asked the national highway national traffic safety administration, quite frankly they kind of were dismissive
5:09 pm
when they were asked. but now we've to the enmore data from them. both sides, need to be coring coming. i was encouraged this witness came forward talked to the committee and talked with committee staff. i think unfortunate someone decided well, i'm going to the "new york times" to get a big splash in the press. right now we're still, it is an open, aggressive ongoing investigation. we know there will be additional hearings in june. people will know when it is appropriate for them to know. gerri: so the nhtsa information that you've been waiting on what was the question? was the question, what did you know and when did you know it? >> well, there was, as you recall there was a very specific incident i questioned about where there was, in fact a head-on collision between chevrolet cobalt and a car by another manufacturer. the other manufacturer's airbag deployed. the cobalt's did not. i asked the acting administrator, surely this was a regular flag to you. you had one car where the airbag performed, other it didn't,
5:10 pm
identical circumstances as far as forces of crash. his answer was to me, you always don't want the airbag to go off. wait a minute. this is head-on collision on open highway. that is one place where you want a airbag to go off and if it doesn't, after all the national highway traffic safety administration insisted on airbags in cars. i would think this would be a question you want answered. i was disappoint at time of the hearing. i'm curious to see if answers are available in it document production. gerri: a lot of people are asking question tonight, has this been a major cover up by gm or nhtsa? and how do you respond to those allegations? >> i think at this point i would say i don't see evidence of that, but, again, it is premature and presumptive to make those kind of calls right now. it is an active and ongoing investigation. committee staff are working hard to get answers what committee
5:11 pm
needs. gerri: degiorgio said he forgot critical information and may have said something inaccurate. that is the "new york times" story you're talking about. what i'm wondering at this point, if this engineer, this one, single gm engineer is going to become a fall guy for an entire company? what do you say? >> again, it is inappropriate for me to comment on the testimony of a witness who was voluntary and forthcoming. when the report is available the report will be available. i think you can draw the conclusions from that. gerri: when are we going to hear from you guys about what you found out? >> well i think you will see another hearing scheduled. i would expect it will be sometime in june but i don't have the precise timing on that. obviously the house is not in washington next week. so it will, it will be more towards the middle or latter part of june but i do expect, i mean, in fact there will be other hearings on this and you also heard from the gm ceo during the last hearing, that they're doing their own investigation and, she did
5:12 pm
promise to be forthcoming with that material when it was available. and i rather suspect that will be again, when that is available it will be generally available, not just to committee, not just to committee staff but available to the public and press. gerri: will you call her again? >> i would imagine she would want to come back because she was the one who made the assertion that i'm doing an investigate and we're getting to the bottom of this. i think that's a requirement. gerri: congressman burgess, thanks for coming on tonight. >> thank you, gerri. gerri: we look forward to all the details when you can talk about. >> great. thank you very much. >> thank you. gm is the not only auto maker in the news today. ford is issuing a recall for 1.4 million suvs and sedans. the majority of suvs popular with consumers may have steering issues. auto maker is recalling 915,000 ford escapes and mercury mariners from model years 2008 through 2011. and about 196,000 ford explorers
5:13 pm
from 2011 through 2013. ford says, it is aware of 20 accidents, eight injuries that may be related to the steering problems. the company also recalling over 196,000 taurus sedans from model years 2010 through 2014. the issue, that road salt to lead to corrosion, a license plate lamp to overheat and cause a fire. 18 fires connected to this issue. we'll be following following th. seems more and more like the right question is, what cars aren't recalled. still to come a lot more this hour, including your voice that is. during the show we want to you facebook me or tweet me @gerriwillisfbn or send me an email at gerriwillis.com. we'll read your tweets and emails in the middle of the show. there are two universal truth about men. they don't like asking for directions. you know that, right? they don't like going to the doctor. well, coming up next how one

5:32 pm
the show. >> hello, gerri. >> so talk to us about the safety. >> we talk a lot about crash safety and how well a vehicle will protect you if there is a crash. this is a crash avoidance testing and we are putting vehicles out on attack and we are testing how well they can avoid crashes with sophisticated technology called for a crash prevention. these are the systems that can warn you if there's an imminent crash and you're not paying attention and your vehicle suddenly stopped in front of you or even automatic braking systems i cannot magically break to help you avoid the crash of you don't react fast enough. gerri: i have been in some of these vehicles and it's unnerving to have the vehicle stopped and not be in control of the vehicle myself. we're going to show some of this video during this segment. but it's something to get used to. and i drive this thing and i have to tell you when she told
5:33 pm
me to let the car driving to the barrier, it was too much for me. i have to think that there are times when it's absolutely essential. what models do the best job for this? >> we have basic advanced and superior and we have a vehicles that are earning the top rate of superior. we are not the seeing these in luxury cars but the best way that the vehicles range from vehicles like mercedes order lexa, also the chevy impala, so it's not just vehicles that are out of the price range of most people. gerri: we are showing them now, hyundai, view it, the chevy in pollock, there are all of those things that we
5:34 pm
need. >> either they just come with a warning system, but it's not as effective of the auto break. and so basic is still good, but it's not the best. and we are looking at vehicles that can actually stop completely to avoid a crash and those are the best rated. gerri: is it worth the money? how much do i have to pay to get this? >> there's a lot of features that is wrapped up as part of our options packages it can cost two or $3000. so we think the best rated systems are worth it. we are doing these ratings so that we can encourage the manufacturers to put more of these on vehicles and just like your big screen tv, the price will come down as these things proliferate. gerri: before you go, this
5:35 pm
weekend covers the story of google having the driverless car. nothing drives me up the wall faster. do you think those things are going to become common? are people going to eventually love them? >> i think they well. i think it is a long way off very and i think it will be a long time before we have holy driverless cars on the road. that this technology that we haven't talked about today as the building blocks for driverless cars and there will be situations like in the morning commuter traffic were vehicles will commonly drive themselves. the one i will wait to see that. gerri: from cars to to become come a big food fight on wall street today, tyson entering the race for kosher brands it is a food frenzy out there and fox business's ashley webster has
5:36 pm
the latest. >> yes, it's interesting. and i have no idea that jimmy dean sausages were so popular, but apparently they are. willshire brands must be doing something right. tyson foods, one of the largest meat processing companies has it that the totals more than $6 billion. they are offering above $50 per share amounts $5 higher than the $45 sharing made just two days ago. so don't forget all of the frenzy comes after hill scheier announced it was making a $6.2 billion bid for frozen vegetable maker [inaudible] simply put, all the companies involved trying to diversify the scope of the supermarket. the portfolio includes brand-name prepared meats, ballpark hot dogs, as well as
5:37 pm
sara lee desserts. and certainly it could bolster its lineup from the fresh processed meats. just as important it would block a strong foothold in the u.s. market. and so we should also point out that they are both contingent on the proposed tie out the surging today of more than 17.5%. gerri: this is fascinating to me. i spent a spend a great deal of time in the grocery store and i'm fascinated by the companies that know the brand out there. >> there's no doubt that the consumer taste has changed. so there's a giant meat
5:38 pm
processing company dealing with volatile meat processors. still there is a competitor sector, they will start to lose customers. so we will have to see. but certainly this is as much a part of this, and they're all kinds of things that we don't grow and then they die. and in the food business is really seeing this. so i think there is a bidding war. gerri: now there are global brands as well. actually, thank you for coming on the show. and of course, it's good to see ashley and it's good to see you. we want to hear from you. here's what some of your trying to say tonight. should veterans care be
5:39 pm
privatized? according to some the va should be abolished. unionized forces corrupted the mandate of the va. and politicians are not business people. amen and amen. and i'll post it on my facebook page today, privatize their turn so they can go anywhere for care. a lot of people are talking about that. and yes, this is the face of obamacare. and then here are some of your e-mails. as the von says penny stocks provide an opportunity in the market. there's an equal amount of risk as there is reward. and thomas says penny stocks are extremely risky. i played and lost big. and miles of texas agrees. even if they were a good bet, the trading volume is way too low to mess with. you can get in, but you can't get out. i love hearing from you. send me an e-mail at
5:40 pm
gerriwillis.com. coming up next we have the latest example of fraud and abuse in medicare. pick your own doctor be ripping off taxpayers? here's your consumer engage with the numbers that matter to you. check out these mortgage rate that are slightly down from yesterday. home prices, check it out.
5:41 pm
5:42 pm
5:43 pm
gerri: millions of medicare dollars being wasted by the federal government. $6.7 billion to be exact. that's the amount of medicare paid out for health care visit that were improperly documented by doctors. our doctors good with the system? so the numbers on this, just amazing to me. half of the charges were probably unsure improperly coded and build. is this a case of doctors trying
5:44 pm
to rip off the system? >> it's hard to tell. you have people that you are trying to match up a code segment is what i did with documentation and medicare is saying 42% of the cases, that the coating didn't match up with the documentation. or was it just a messed up that someone did an all out the paperwork. and this includes and open forum of abuse. gerri: we are talking about a small part of this. evaluation, management, this is testing in doctors offices and hospitals and lots of room for error. let me give you an example here. i'm sure you've heard the story. connecticut doctors billing medicare for 24,000 drug test. you can do their treating thousands of people. but no, 145 patients. if you do the math, these folks had to have some kind of work or test on every other day.
5:45 pm
>> we had other addiction experts come and say there's no reason you'd want to test a patient every other day. and maybe one protester five separate drugs and uncharged the drug severally. and so again, we have this massive system, tens of thousands of providers trying to asked medicare to crack down on each one of them and it's just impossible. gerri: it really drove me crazy about the story. so much love and abuse. the report comes out from the part of health and human services committee give it to cns. what happens? the folks say that we're not going to do anything with it because it's not cost effective for us to do, so i guess it's more cost effective flew $6.7 billion. how does this make sense? >> from their perspective, the taste out all of these things, we are fighting people to get the money back. a better approach is to just
5:46 pm
have a predictive analytic and this is something the credit card companies do. so they don't pay in a case that later. that's a much better approach. >> you agree with that been? >> i think that you have to have as much of a proactive approach as he can. a campy then i'm going to pay you and that is going to be a recipe for fraud. >> the tragedy of this is for people who are poor and deserving and it's being wasted. taxpayer dollars being wasted. so how do we fix this? >> that is $50 billion every year. double the budget of the national health. it is a tremendous amount of
5:47 pm
money. gerri: is it just the problem of government being smack dab in the middle of this? >> guesstimate the problem of having a government program micromanaged by congress. so every time you try to crack down, someone called their congressman and the congressman costa msm puts up a huge fight. and then if you want to hold someone accountable, hold a single company accountable, aetna or whoever rather than fighting individual physicians. gerri: thank you so much for explaining. we appreciate your time. and later in the show, my "two cents more" and a new service promising to cover your flight problems for $25 a trip. as the plane is late, they are going to give you money. we will investigate this after the break we're moving our company to new york state.
5:48 pm
