wages are not growing. rents are going higher. david: i think you're absolutely. gerri, t-mobile is looked at adding hundreds of millions of dollars to subscribers bills. how does that work out? >> cheryl, dave, thank you. that's right, t-mobile in trouble with regulators for cramming unauthorized fees on consumer bills. coming up on today's show. a veterans's widow joins with letter she received from the va. she says it left her feeling like she was in the twilight zone. also jamie dimon's throat cancer. important information for everyone concerning your health. don't buy chicken at kfc or a burger at mcdonald's? goer forget it. "consumer reports" is here with the annual list of best and worst fast-food restaurants in america. our maybe fat foods. "willis report where consumers are our business, starts right now.

gerri: every once in a while a high-profile executive says something and means another. john ledgers, he says he fights for consumers at t-mobile. he sure looks like one of us with his t-shirts and gym shoes. listen to this. >> i've always been very consistent. the uncarrier revolution is important for u.s. wireless and it will continue and our growth creating competition over the long-term depends on scale, depends on capital and depends upon us being this aggressor. gerri: now, while ledger may call himself the uncarrier, the youth he is not that different from his competitors. that is because tonight the federal trade commission is suing t-mobile for charging customers of hundreds of millions of dollars for services they didn't order in a practice known as cramming. here with more is consumer expert clark howard. hi, there, clark. thanks for being with us.

>> great to see you. gerri: describe cramming. what is it? >> it a despicable practice that happened in the phone business and in the banking business. the phone company enters into a deal with whoever the marketer is that is selling whatever service they claim to be selling phone company or bank looks the other way, takes 35 or 40% of the action, charges start appearing on credit card statement, or bank statement, or in this case your cell phone bill and typically in this circumstance with t-mobile, it was $9.99 a month for flirting advice, horoscopes, things like that. people didn't even know it. gerri: clark, let's be clear here. there was really was no product, right? >> right. gerri: this is totally a scam. what i don't understand -- >> over and over again this happens. gerri: what i don't understand is why these big carriers, who rely on their reputations to sell product every single day would be willing to get in bed

with these scam artists? >> i call it the curse of the mbas. somebody says, hey, do you realize we could make all this extra profit, doesn't cost us anything. all we have to do allow third parties to have our billing system and we take a third of the action. this is no-brainer. except what does it do and what is the cost to your reputation which is what t-mobile is experiencing right now. gerri: so, i want to talk a little bit about the disconnect between john ledger, his image and what he is trying to tell us the company is all about and what they have really been doing which seems to me things 180 degrees apart. let me read a statement from him recently. we're disappointed that the fcc filed action begins the most pro-consumer company in the industry rather than deal with bad actors. as uncarrier we believe customers should only pay for what they want and what they

sign up for. but that is not what's happening. >> yeah, and the reality is, if you go further in his statement he says, well we were doing that in the past but we're not doing it anymore. and besides, why are you looking at us? what about these companies that were putting phony charges on the bill? well reality is, the phony companies never could have put it on the bill if t-mobile didn't allow it. and two, it is not an excuse that you used to do it and you're not doing it anymore. so it confuses the t-mobile message. i will tell you t-mobile's doing a great job right now. the no contract plans are winning over people by the millions. so why they didn't just fall on the sword and say, we're at fault, we shouldn't have done this, we apologize. and here's people's money back. instead, what are they gaining by being combative hire? it seems like public relations 101. they forgot to take the class. gerri: i got to tell you, so t-mobile is saying we did pay people back and federal trade

commission says, no you didn't. not everybody and not to the level we wanted. they say that the company hasn't made good. so there is real disconnect there. what is likely to happen next now that the government's involved? are people going to get money back? >> yes. t-mobile will eventually realize, oh, this is an unfolding disaster for us. we're going to have to cut a deal. but how much smarter would it have been if they cut the deal before today instead of being combative today and then later having to come with their tail between their legs and say, you know, we really should have done something different. and here's a refund. gerri: well, we're pro-consumer. got to rethink that one. clark, thanks for coming on. >> sure. gerri: well, as we just discussed this cramming thing putting charges on your bill for things that you didn't order, it is a big problem. in fact it is one of the most common billing commodity plains handled did i the fcc.

how can you protect yourself? with tips on what to do the "consumer reports" senior editor. welcome back to the show. you have great ideasings, things people can do. is job number one, read your phone bill? >> definitely read your phone bill, unfortunately the problem is, phone bills can be very long, this is my phone bill only 22 pages. start not from the front but from the back because that's where they bury the phone charges. gerri: exactly right. >> the bogus charges are. don't start from the back. gerri: i want to show people a t-mobile bill. we have two full screens here. i will start with the front of the bill. as you say, where things are kind of summarized. there is something called usage charges. this is where these bogus fees would be. 9.99, you may think, i don't know what that is. you then you dig in. 123 pages later. there is some strange listing for brn storm from shaboom media.

that is the trivia text alerts thaw paid for. so understanding and knowing what you're being charged for is no easy thing. you say there are additional steps you can take, for example, you say you can actually block your accounts. >> yeah. ask your phone company to block your account. this works for landline phones or mobile phones. wireless phones. and, the other thing you should do is definitely demand a refund. go to the, the bill may lead you to believe that you should call the third party biller. don't do that. call the phone company and tell them. they're the guys who billed you. get the money back from them. gerri: you should complain, complain, complain. don't just complain to the phone company? >> yeah. definitely complain to complain to the federal trade commission. complain to the fcc, the federal communications commission, which also has jurisdiction in this area. and your state attorney general.

names of the phone company, the third party biller, something called the aggregator which is the guy in the middle who collects all the money from the third party billers and then packages it and sends it on to the phone company. gerri: good lord, everybody is making money on this. >> that is actually the problem. yeah, definitely. now a couple years ago the fcc established some rules for, you know, some prohibitions against cramming but what happened is established for this kind of phone? who talks on a landline phony more? the rules don't apply to the cell phones. so the fcc needs to get to work and beef up their rules as well. gerri: i think these companies need to feel responsible to us. let's not wait for regulate, to finally, finally figure it out. one thing before you go, jeff, tell me this. is there red flag language that is going to tell me i'm dealing with a charge with a fee, that really is bogus?

>> it's very, basically, it is very tough, because they often, as the examples you mentioned, and clark mentioned, these, they're in codes. and, may be numbers or whatever. if there is something you don't understand on the bill, call them up and find out what it is. call customer service. make them pay a customer service guy to explain it to you. and then maybe they will put actual information on the bill. gerri: of course they probably -- i can't imagine consumer rep, saying, gerri, that is bogus. you should complain about it. >> they might because the phone company is in on it. gerri: thank you for coming on the show, jeff. good to see you. >> okay, thanks. gerri: we have more, more to come this hour, including your voice. so during the show, facebook me, tweet me, @gerriwillisfbn about what you think on the show tonight. what topics do you like, what don't you like. at the bottom of the hour i will

read your comments. we have fast-food awards. we have best and worst fast-food ranks by you. which one is the champ and which one gets trashed that is. we'll tell you all about it. ♪ when folks think about what they get from alaska, they think salmon and energy. but the energy bp produces up here creates something else as well: jobs all over america. engineering and innovation jobs. advanced safety systems & technology. shipping and manufacturing. across the united states, bp supports more than a quarter million jobs. when we set up operation in one part of the country, people in other parts go to work. that's not a coincidence. it's one more part of our commitment to america.

gerri: almost time for dinner and probably thinking what you will have. i know i am. americans are spending more time and money on dining out. 680 billion dollars in fact. according to new survey from "consumer reports," americans want more for their money. here to explain, senior editor for "consumer reports," todd marks. >> hi, gerri. how are you? gerri: i'm great. thank you for coming in. i appreciate your time. the thing that blew me away from the survey not the winners but the losers. what a shocking list. >> bigger isn't always best. in fact when "consumer reports" did our latest, our national survey on fast-food and fast casual dining, the biggest and most familiar names, kfc, mcdonald's, taco bell, were at the bottom of the ratings. this is pretty big survey.

32,000 people, 100,000 meals. and there are a lot of real gems out there but it is not the big guys. gerri: so, you guys did this because people are spending more time, you know, spending money, so is that changing what is going on in the marketplace? >> yes. as a matter of fact people want elevated experience. one thing our surveyed showed, this time versus our previous survey people are more interested at this level, the fast-food, fast casual level, in the quality of the food, not just low price. it used to be also convenience drove it. but there's a trend and that trend is, towards more quality food. and that's partially being driven by millenials. they, remember, eating out is not a big deal anymore. it is part and parcel of every day life. they don't have a lot of money. so they want to eat out more often. they don't want to spend a lot. the fast casual segment, chipolte, corner bakeries paneras are eating it up. they're doing a great job.

gerri: break down your list. taste champs for burgers. forget mcdonald's. that not winner. who won? >> some of these chains, sadly for us on the east coast, in-n-out burger is out west and habit burger grill. we do have five guys and smash burger is making entree into this area of the good thing about, these are chains that are called, the better burger segment. means they're not knows necessarily the 99-cent value meal burgers. they're higher quality, cost a little bit more. you get what you pay for. gerri: i need to cover this category. the better burger segment. i love it. in and out is my favorite. talk about chicken, kfc, where is kfc on this list. >> kfc is at the bottom of the bucket, gerri, i couldn't miss that one. the top, chik-fil-a, they are chains with thousands of restaurants. not only top-ranked chicken chain, they had the top-rated chicken sandwich of any restaurant in america. gerri: love it.

el pollo loco, popeye's, boston market, bojangles? >> they were okay but, again, kfc was at bottom, statistically speaking with all that rigidity, "consumer reports" national research center brings to the table, says chik-fil-a was the standout. gerri: interesting. we have to do burritos too. >> okay. yes, well the mexican segment we see a lot of growth in fast casual area. chipolte and rubio's mexican grill were standouts for best burrito. once again kfc was taking at bottom. maybe there is message for the big guys. don't count on people being there for you all the time. competition is heating up and they're clicking at their heels. gerri: todd, i'm getting hungrier and hungrier in 24 segment. okay. any other findings you want share before you go? you really hear a lot of voices when you do these surveys. >> you know what, gerri?

the most shocking, people talk thin but eat fat. gerri: yes. >> everyone says they're concerned about their health but only one in five of those folks surveyed actually ate a meal they considered healthy at their last restaurant visit. so that tells us a lot about ourselves. gerri: i would want fries with that, i have to say. todd, thank you. >> me too. thanks, gerri. gerri: good stuff. well, still to come the private sector is finally starting to hire but what does that mean for tomorrow's big jobs report? jpmorgan boss jamie dimon reveals he is battling throat cancer. next we'll examine risk factors and possible treatment for throat canner. stay with us. show me the carfax®

welcome. i see you're shopping for a well-maintained, used car. well, we don't want it breaking down on us. oh, our team tracks vehicle service very closely.

gail to carfax®. got a minivan getting an oil change and brand new brakes! you know i like to see that. bad brakes are bad news for possums. now carfax® can help you find the right used car. that's the one! start your search at the new carfax.com

gerri: in health news one of the biggest names on wall street is facing a new health challenge and new information on childhood vaccines. new stories and here to talk to us about them, dr. phillip cheatham. thanks for being on the show. thanks for being here. we were talking about throat cancer before the break because this is a shock that jamie dimon is only 58 years old. what are the possibilities that he willfully recover? >> gerri, throat cancer is much more common in men than women and typical age of presentation is about mid 50s. he is male and mid 50s, certainly fits the stereotype for throat cancer. risk factors, smoking is a big factor and so is alcohol consumption. if you look at smoking and alcohol as a risk factor together, if you're a smoker and you drink excessively, your risk of getting throat cancer is even higher. gerri: i believe dimon said he was a smoker several decades ago. can it take that long to present

itself. >> well, that's right. if you were a smoker, it can take up to 20 years for your risk to normalize to the same risk as somebody who has never smoked. this is not a particularly common cancer. we see about 40,000 people a year diagnosed in the united states. 11,000 people will die from the disease. gerri: wow. of course, we know that jamie dimon is celebrating his 10-year anniversary at jpmorgan. this all got announced at the same time. the other famous case is obviously michael douglas and he had a completely different cause that he cited. you can say it. i don't want to. >> he did have the animated conversation about whether oral sex was associated with his risk of developing throat cancer. gerri: is that a way for people to get it? >> the risk is associated with a virus called hpv. there may be some association to that. again, smoking, alcohol, number one causes. in fact, michael douglas actually had cancer of the tongue and throat cancer of the

tongue lay people tend to use, we refer in the possession to the cancers of the larynx, which is voice box, cancers of the pharynx, which is the top of the esophagus and any cancer in the oral cavity comes under the name throat cancer. gerri: thank you for the guys. i want to get to the other story, vaccines and department of health and human services saying we told the public, we studied this. you have to get vaccines. vaccines will not harm your children. this is huge debate in some circles. a lot of parents out there do not want their children to get vaccines because they say they're at risk for other diseases. what do you say? >> i'm very pleased to see the article was published in the journal of pediatrics, very reputable journal. this was systemic review, gerri. they looked at all the studies with properly run trials, over 100 trials with another 70 trials after and looked at 11 childhood vaccines. this was 13-page report. they were saying vaccines do

have some side-effects but the serious side-effects are extremely rare of the most important take home message here, that childhood vaccination, the benefits far outweigh the risks. that was very clearly stated in this paper. gerri: let me tell you, this weekend, if you're traveling over the 4th of july holiday, in ohio, there is a huge measles outbreak in an amish community. some 360 cases. this is what is happening all over the country. all kind of childhood diseases we thought we eradicated are coming up again. >> the big controversy, with the mmr vaccine, measles, up mumps, rubella. there was concern that mmr caused autism. there is no absolutely no quality evidence to support that. parents understandably are concerned. what we must forget, many people know as child with autism type behaviors issues. but if you are a doctor and cared for a child who has died of measles or smallpox or

pertussis, it is absolute tragedy which is preventable, gerri. gerri: it's a tragedy, if your kids don't get vaccines they're putting all other kids at risk. >> that's right. gerri: did doctor, thanks for coming on. >> thanks for having me. gerri: later in the show a the government is suing a private american business for requiring its workers to speak english but is it legal? the vet finally give as veteran's appointment two years too late. their widow shares their their breaking story coming right up.

>> i warn you this is a

heartbreaking story it's emerging as the scandal rocking veterans affairs. the chase, a hero who served our country in vietnam war and here he is right here. he sought urgent care from a veterans affairs hospital, but he died before ever hearing back, before ever getting the first scheduled meeting with a doctor. two years after his death his widow is in complete shock after finally receiving a reply from the va that was too little too late. suzanne chase is here to sell her story. thank you for coming on the show, we really appreciate it and we have an export these issues with the va and you unfortunately haven't felt them firsthand. tell us about your husband service person this country. >> first of all thank you for having me on the show and for covering this

important issue. my husband-- he was diagnosed with a brain tumor in 2011 and after several surgeries it was determined he had melanoma. he was treated for the brain tumors at that israel hospital and wanted to continue his care there. he had not heard very positive things about the va healthcare and shied away from it in the beginning. towards the end of his disease, which had traveled to his spine his upper spine was so bad that he needed a brace in order to set up. the tumors invaded his lower spine so that he became paraplegic, so at this time it was very difficult for him to travel to boston for treatment. we live about 25 miles west of boston and the amulet is right-- cheryl: you decided to seek care at the va, which makes sense because it's closer. what kind of response did you get from the va hospital? >> we had gone-- i had gone actually over to the

hospital with an application in hand and i was told that at that time they were backed up and that i would have to expected weight, but i was hoping because my husband was in such critical condition that maybe he could be seen in a timely manner. cheryl: that didn't happen. >> it didn't happen and as he got sicker and sicker and his care became more critical i didn't have the time or energy to pursue the va, so i took care of him i saw that home and eventually i did get power of attorney so he could have hospice care at home. cheryl: so, he dies for months, i believe, after you have rechecked the va and then much much later you finally get a letter from the va saying they scheduled an appointment for his care.

my goodness, tell me about that. >> yes, i got that letter 22 months after he passed away and just getting letters that are addressed to a deceased loved one is a really difficult thing to deal with after the fact and i was just throwing them away, but i happened to notice this one up was addressed from the va hospital and i open it up and i was probably the most stunned i have ever been in my life to see that i was getting a response 22 months after my husband had died. cheryl: i can't imagine how you felt. here's what the letter said to read dear veteran, your name has and transferred to us as someone who might be interested in receiving primary care. we are committed, they say, to providing primary care in a timely manner and would greatly appreciate a prompt response. this is nearly two years after you have requested help.

what was that like for you? >> it didn't seem very timely to me. no, it didn't seem very timely to me at all. i did respond to them immediately and i sent them a letter and asked them how this had happened and also told them it wasn't a very respectful way to treat our veterans. our veterans return-- deserve much better. cheryl: amen and amen and adding insult to injury you try to get death benefits from the va, but they told you you couldn't get them because you never gotten care at a va hospital, cracked? >> that's absolutely true. that's why i don't understand getting the letter in the first place. i expected they would have a file somewhere that indicated that doug had passed away since i had applied for death benefits, but a purely subconsultant the cracks .

cheryl: a lot fell through the cracks. >> absolutely. cheryl: suzanne, thank you for coming on tonight. we really appreciate you telling your story and we know it must be painful, but i think people need to hear this -- >> i think they do also and i hope other people come forward. i know not the only one. cheryl: unbelievable. thank you so much and best wishes to you. we appreciate your time. >> thank you. cheryl: well, we are going to change tone here entirely and talk about the economy. companies are not hiring and at a pace we haven't seen in a long time to read we got news today that hiring is up, payroll processor adp is reporting better-than-expected implement gains in the private sector, so is the recovery gain momentum we have chief economist here with analysis. these are very positive numbers today and we had that big report coming tomorrow. what does that tell you about what we will see in the monthly jobs report? >> it tells me that in all

likelihood the gain in perils for june well perhaps exceed the consensus estimate of 250,000 new jobs, which is pretty good news. we also want to keep an eye on what is happening with the average hourly wage. it has barely been growing of late. cheryl: this is something i'm really concerned about. we just have had no improvement in wages and i think this is a tragedy for americans to go to the grocery store and see their prices going up at every turn. >> that's right on target. the past several months we have had cpi growth more rapidly than the average weight compared to a year ago we find that wages have not kept pace with inflation , be it in terms of average hourly earnings or hourly

weekly earnings. cheryl: so you see positive things coming on that front and it's good news, but we got a gdp growth report that was not growth it was horrible. the economy shrank by 2.9% in the first quarter. how does that fit into the whole scenario your painting? >> the first take away would be that given the contraction of gp and a growth of payroll in the first quarter we ended up with a deep drop by productivity. the deepest drop by labor productivity since the first quarter of 2008. by the way, it corresponded to a recession, so this perhaps is telling us unless we see more of an improvement by gp there will be a pullback as hiring activity. we will not see perils growing in excess of two under thousand dolls per month. they may be lucky to grow by 100,000 jobs. watch this closely and one of the reason why gp did poorly with because a deep contraction by exports that can be prescribed to we growth outside united states. cheryl: that's interesting. janet yellen had her federal reserve talk today and i

don't know if get a chance to leave-- listen it was pretty lengthy. is there anything you think is quickly important? >> what she said today as that the federal reserve will not manipulate the federal funds rate or interest rate for the purpose of trying to cool off on overheated asset market. be it financial like stocks or bonds or real assets such as real estate, but i can't help but think that that real estate prices inflation in 2001 and 2006 was far more devastating to the us economy van was the runaway cpi inflation of the 1970s imus was kind of odd that the fed seems to be in effect downplaying just how damaging runaway asset price inflation can be to an economy. cheryl: do you think housing prices made housing unaffordable ? >> yes of the near come -- collapse of the financial system. we never really had problems about severity in the 70s and early '80s.

cheryl: that's really interesting. thank you for coming on, john. >> my pleasure. cheryl: after the break our legal panel with the state a case involving the us government suing a private company for acquiring its employees to speak english. first we want to hear from you, should american workers and be required to speak english? here's what some of your tweeting. you guys are on fire. charles street, yes, it's a safety issue. john tweet may be speaking to or leg which is a plus. you need to speak some english. to back sandy posting on my facebook page if you can't speak english you are a danger in the workplace. what if you must give instructions or directions. dean says it would be helpful if the owners of the business help in learning english if the employee does not speak it. on the same topic surely from colorado e-mails, if you live in america and make a living in america then by all means you should speak

[ male announcer ] see if your business qualifies. cheryl: the government is suing a wisconsin company for firing non- english speakers. the coming said it let go a dozen hispanic and chinese workers because of overall job performance issues, but the fed said the workers were fired because he didn't speak english and an american speaking is on the job is not a requirement. time to begin the panel. that for me so i say right. thank you. my apologies for mr. peltier name. i will start with you.

does the government have a case? >> i think it's hard to say under these facts only because i don't know exactly what the job requirements are for the people working in this plant. what they are really saying is that there is no requirement that you must speak english and must there's a reason for it. e public or safety issues and you have to speaking wish you have to speak english, but if you are in the back room and it has nothing to do with your job you are not allowed to require that him him ploy speak english. that's what works. cheryl: michelle. >> and that is why they have stepped in because these workers are not dealing necessarily with the public. this is a plastics factory and they don't really need to speak english to do their job well. cheryl: so we have it 31 states and the union had english only with laws, so

if you live in one of these states you can say due to your workers you have to speaking the shaman job and it's okay, but i have to tell you wisconsin is not one of them. let me read to you with the ceo of this company had to say, actually the regional attorney. the left decisions at issue in the fall of 20 drop, were made on the basis of invoice overall compared to skills, behaviors and job performs overtime. there was nothing illegal or imus or about any of the decisions made by the company. don't they have a rule of the company needed speaking this or some english? >> you are allowed to have a ruled it says that, but it has to be job-related and consistent with the assessment. if i'm a dry cleaner or some other retail place and i'm dealing with people that speak english and i can't speaking this i can't really do that job, but if i'm in the back stocking-- cheryl: are you going green on the? >> i will make it nice and clear. the eeoc doesn't usually step in a lesson see something going on that is a little amiss and that is what they did here. see what you're asking me to trust the government that they are doing the right thing? >> when they are protecting the rights of citizens-- we

don't know what these citizens are not american citizens. my grandfather was an american system-- citizen and he did not speak english. proud of our can citizens and speak english. >> there were no laws and that was the difference. civil rights laws and discrimination became illegal at the federal level in 1964. before that there really was no prohibition so you could say i want everyone to speak english and that would exclude a lot of people and you may really want to exclude them not because they didn't speak english, but because they were black, white, green,@, men, women. for example, in this case his employer who is actually getting test to its employees to see how well they spoke english and the question is did they really need to speak english and the ears he says they didn't and the employer isn't saying it's in english issue. but, that's how most a skirmish in cases are. the question is ever-- cheryl: to your point this is with the eeoc says on

that point. our spirits has been that so-called english rules and english fluency is-- >> that is what they suspect here is that this is a mask or dissemination and that this english only speaking rule is a mask for discrimination and what this company is saying is that these employees were asked the fire because of poor driver performance. and it independence evaluating was that it found that these employees were fired because he couldn't speak english. cheryl: bill, there are 31 states that have lost about this . without a clarify this case? >> i think so, but the laws you are referring to really are the same as what the eeoc is saying. in other words if you don't need to speaking wish to work in the back is a dishwasher you still-- it's not illegal-- you still can't be fired because you don't speak english because

you don't need to speak english. there has to be some requirement that you do need to speak english, but if it's not related to the job you don't have to speak it. that is what this is about. cheryl: i think i got. spivak that's good because i thought i had and i lost it. [laughter] cheryl: thank you so much. now, we want to know what you think. here's her question. should work and workers be required to speak english? logon to gerri willis.com. and vote. i would show the comment that the in the tonight show. i have seen some of them and they're on fire. the fourth of july fireworks may be courtesy of mother nature this holiday weekend. we are joined by fox news senior meteorologist janet the weather machine, janice, tell us about arthur and what do we need to worry about? >> you need to play close attention to arthur because the latest computer model issuing the storm coming a bit more towards the west and that is not good news. places like this up east coast, caroline is even up toward the mid-atlantic and northeast, so pay close

attention. this is arthur. we get the latest advisory, 70 miles per hour sustained wind, 74 miles an hour makes it hurricane and we think within the next six-12 hours that will happen. we see a tightening i and all four quadrants of this tropical storm filling out, so strengthening is happening and the storm is now moving more north and this is the track as a 5:00 p.m. and we think becoming a category one hurricane maybe even a category two. some the latest model for show not only moving toward the west, but perhaps even stronger hurricane as we head into thursday and friday. we think a potential landfall across the outer banks and then we will have to take them play close

attention to the northeast. even those is track shows the bulk remaining offshore, cape cod and eyelids, new england, long island pay close attention this is one of our forecast models and look at this at all must make a landfall the southeast portions of coastal south carolina on thursday afternoon. a potential landfall across on 3:00 a.m. friday and then watch with this does. it kind of hugs the northeast coast in ports island up towards cape cod and then essentially make another landfall. even though this is one forecast model it shows you we have to watch this so carefully because if the track starts to shift more westwards a lot more real estate, millions and millions of people will be effective. we have a lot of warm water as the storm progresses towards the northeast, so nothing in its way to strengthen and preps a category one or agree to and there's your forecast of rainfall. mostly offshore, but again watching carefully look at

new york and boston. we are talking about footage of rainfall totals of over four, maybe even 6 inches of rain through the weekend. this has changed significantly since this afternoon, so i think people afternoon, so i think people need to take very close crestor lowered bad cholesterol in it's a fact. high-risk patients more than lipitor. attention as we get into the long weekend. back to you. back to you. cheryl: happy fourt
