up to 30 miles per hour. david: by the way, number one thing to watch tomorrow, the ppi. we'll get inflation stats. liz: very important. "the willis report" is next. hi, gerri, you're what, kicking off a week-long user's guide important to buying a second home. we just talked about buying foreclosed home. gerri: that is on the sail line. liz and dave, thanks for that. the second home market heating up. we'll tell you how to make the best purchase for your family. the next on the show, the man behind the gm compensation fund, ken feinberg. the death toll is rising. wait until you see what a rental car company could be charging you. reluctant role but one of many we're forced to take. we'll have advice becoming a family care-giver without breaking the bank. "the willis report" where consumers are our business starts right now. gerri: the gm death to rising
5:01 pm
despite the automaker linking 13 deaths to its faulty ignition switches, the program in charge of compensating victims have approved 19 deaths. they're accepting claims until the end of the year the number of victims can only grow. with more on this, ken fine breather attorney and administrator for gm's compensation fund. ken feinberg, thanks for being with us tonight. >> nice to be here. gerri: we have 19 death claims and well over 100 folks making those claims so far. do you expect the total fatality tally, to rise? >> of course it is going to rise. we've got 19 already, and we have got over 100 in the queue, with claims coming in every day. it is going to rise. how much it rises pure speculation. we have got to examine each claim. merely filing a claim is no guaranty that you're going to be able to be compensated but that is the first step. gerri: first step, of course, gm famously said the number would
5:02 pm
be something like 13. clearly you're already ahead of that. your investigation is preceding through the end of the year. how can the numbers be so different, what you're finding and what gm claimed? >> gm had a very different test. i must say, gm asked its engineers, do you know for certain, is it definitive that the switch caused the accident? and the engineers said we know of 13. our standard, much more lenient, was the, does the circumstance evidence demonstrate it is likely, substantially likely, that the switch caused the accident, and, don't forget, we're also compensating drivers, passengers, pedestrians, occupants of second vehicles. gm was focused on the driver only. >> focused on the driver only and what do you do if there are suggestions that the driver was drinking or if there were other issues involved in the accident?
5:03 pm
>> irrelevant. totally irrelevant. we're focused on the switch. drunk driving, texting, speeding, irrelevant. we're not interested in examining any contributor negligence. gerri: now what proportion of the claims you reviewed so far, i know you're a long ways from being done, have you denied or said no, i'm, this isn't working, this is not a good claim? >> we haven't really made a definitive decision yet on denials. most of them, that are in the queue, we're either looking at them for the first time, or, we have notified the claimant that your claim is deficient. you haven't said enough. we don't have any documentation. show us photographs. show us the warranty report. show us the black box data. show us the police report. we'll work with claimants before we start denying claims. >> you know, you've said that the amount that will be paid out to folks will be, especially on death claims will be in part
5:04 pm
related to how much they may have earned over their lifetime. that is a typical kind of legal test. do you know how much these folks will be getting at this point? can you say definitely? >> no, we're starting to look at that now. but you're absolutely right. if somebody dies, in one much these cases, that are eligible, and he or she were a banker or a stockbroker, that's the tort system. you're going to pay more for that claim than the 17-year-old or the 18-year-old driving the, their first automobile. now, most of the deaths so far, are young, inexperienced drivers. who were either going to school, or, didn't have a high-paying job. so the discrepancy so far i don't think will be great but it could be over type, yes. >> now, if it is young drivers, i'm wondering if there is a particular make and model their seeing more often in these claims than others? i know the cobalt for example,
5:05 pm
was heavily marketed to young people. >> mostly the cobalt. some pontiacs. but again, we list in our protocol, as you know, exactly the models, the makes, the years, that are covered by this program. >> all right. i know there will probably be some fighting with families out there over these dollars. are you seeing this already. >> of course. a 17-year-old daughter dies. the mother and father split. the mother says, don't you dare give a nickel to the father. he was never around the house. he didn't support the family. the father says, that's a lie. i was always there for my deceased daughter. either you work it out, as to how we're going to distribute these fund, or we're simply, like 9/11, deposit money into court and you go fight it out, not on my watch. >> not on your watch. i do want to read, we have a
5:06 pm
response from gm on your news today. here is what the company had to say. what is most important we're doing the right thing for those who lost loved ones and those who suffered physical injuries. that is gm responding to what you're having to say today. ken feinberg, thanks for coming on. pleasure to have you here today. please come back and continue telling us the latest on this very important story. >> anytime you ask, thank you. gerri: thank you. meanwhile the government agency behind these recalls, the national highway national traffic safety administration is in hot water tonight. according to a critical report in the "new york times," nhtsa is accused of taking its own sweet time when it came to the recalls, giving automakers the benefit of the doubt, quote. not only does the agency spend about as much money raiding new cars a favorite marketing tool for automakers as it does investigating potentially deadly manufacturing defects but sdiffe a key question about fatal
5:07 pm
accidents optional, a polly only now changing. the paper went on to say nhtsa doesn't take a leading role into investigations until it reaches crisis levels. from your car to rental cars, electronic to booth payments can be a huge time saver especially when there is lines and lines of cars. no more searching frantically for coins to pay the to. unfortunately if you're in a rental car you may have to add heavy at this fees to your final bill. here to explain personal finance expert clark howard. great to have you back much thanks for coming on. >> sure. gerri: this is interesting. so to booths all over the country are going electronic right. you don't have to give cash. pass through with a car but creating a nightmare for enters. why? >> -- renters. >> completely. what happens when you get to the to booth, there is no person. tough go through electronically. the car rental company then based on a reading electronically of your tag on the car, then sends you a bill
5:08 pm
right to your credit card so the to that could be 50 cents, a buck. well they have it from your rental. they just later retroactively bill your card for the actual cost of the to, which could be as little as 50 cents, but then they tack on it a 15, 20 or so dollar service charge, for the convenience of them billing you for the to. gerri: come on. look, you know -- >> i'm serious. >> it is ridiculous. we saw a story of one california couple. here is what happened. they come to new york. they go over the henry hudson twice. and they have 4.88 in tolls. they're charged 34-point8. that hardly seems right. >> -- 34.88. >> i traveled every week for work. i experienced this before. i come up with all my strategies to deal with it. you mentioned a california couple. you go across the golden gate
5:09 pm
bridge, all electronic, if you, before, 48 hours is ended, you go on put on your car rental license plate number, you can pay the to yourself, and not have the surcharge from the rental car company. i was in orlando two weeks ago. and i would have faced those big surcharges on my rental car. so what i did, was i set my gps on my phone to no to roads. it took me on a route where, i'm is serious, i never went on a to road. i didn't have to worry about getting hit with a big surcharge. but i have another answer. are you ready? there is one more. okay. you now can buy, many times a at drugstores, you can buy a prepaid to reader, that works in multiple states, and you put it with your wallet or, lady as purse. and when you're in a rental car, you use that prepaid to card so that you don't end up getting charged those huge fees. gerri: i like that.
5:10 pm
>> by the car rental company. gerri: look, here is what dollar rent a car wants to do. give you example. you have great solutions. their solution will charge you nearly 63 bucks in orlando to rent a transponder. now, if you of been to that area you know there are a million to roads. so you're really going to run up, run up the charges there, there is no doubt about it. but these fees are out of control. there has to be a simpler way. >> sure. gerri: i respect what you suggest there, sound like a lot of work to me. rental car companies should come up with a better solution. what do you think, clark? >> well i think the rental car companies look at this as another profit center. gerri: yeah. >> you by dial back to the responsibility of the to operators. if the to operators around the country are going to to booths that have no people staffing at all, there should be some easy way for me as a consumer to pay that to to the to authority, instead of ending up in this fight with the car rental company where they're either
5:11 pm
going to gouge me, or, i'm going to end up having to do something creative like i've done, so i don't have to pay that gouge. gerri: well, there you go, clark. asking government to be helpful to consumers. that will never happen, my friend. clark, thanks for coming on. >> sure. gerri: now we want to know what you think. here is our question tonight. do rental car companies charge too many hidden fees? log on to gerriwillis.com. vote on the right-hand side of the screen. i show you at the results at the end of tonight's show. your voice is important to us. during the show we want to you facebook me or tweet me @gerriwillisfbn or send me an email at gerriwillis.com. go to the website and do it right there. at the government hour i will read your comments. next obama care 2.0 set to kick off. more and more problems still arising from this massive law. we'll have the latest from republican senator john barasso. don't go away. ♪ there was no question she was the one.

5:15 pm
if you are on obamacare and the reported income does not match the actual income you have until the end of month fix it or lose out on tax credits. also tonight we're two months away from obamacare sign-up period and more damage care is being done to the u.s. economy and its workers. for all of that we bring in republican senator john barosso of wyoming. chairman of the republican policy committee. he will talk about this great to have you here. start with the breaking news. so what's the deal? do you have to keep giving them all this personal data all the time? i mean i'm not obamacare but a lot of people are. >> we know that there has been violation of the data. that has been, there have been hackers gotten into that. so there are issues of people's personal security but also financial security. this continues to be a problem for people that are on the health care, obamacare coverage. and now they have pushed back the enrollment for this year until after the elections because they're afraid that
5:16 pm
things will be a bad situation for them as well. gerri: just to be clear here, so, the big questions from the administration to, if you're growing to reenroll, if you sign up again they want to have an accurate representation of your earnings. why are they doing that? is there a problem with the system? is that what you're saying? >> there are at love problems with the system. it specifically what they say you can auto enroll or stay on but, for most of those people, the subsidies that may be getting, are going to be, not accurately calculated so people will have to pay too much or too little. they know there are going to be significant problems in the second year which is why they pushed the open enrollment period not to start until november 15th, after the elections. gerri: curiously until after the elections, a big shocker there. lots of surprises for people enrolling again. don't auto enroll because you might get sticker shock. a lot of people are worried and concerned i have to tell you
5:17 pm
with the private sector open enrollment. there will be a lot of interesting stories coming out of that. the senate republican policy committee out with a report showing the hit the economy is taking from obamacare. tell us about that? >> the health care law is bad for workers and it is bad for wages. what we're seeing is with all the obama health care law, taxes, and the mandates, the, it is, we're seeing fewer and fewer businesses wanting to hire people or push more people on to part-time work. this isn't me talking. this is the federal reserve. philadelphia federal reserve. when they, interviewed and discussed businesses in their communities, they're finding that people are pushing folks on to part time, if you work fewer than 30 hours a week, then they don't have to be covered under the health care law. that hurts people's take-home pay. gerri: 22% of manufacturing firms, 17% of service firms are saying hey, we're changing our enrollment here, our employment levels here. we'll hire fewer workers. i want to talk about what is happening to the labor force
5:18 pm
participation rate because it is now at 36-year low. expected to go even lower. people are blaming even this on obamacare. why? >> well, because the mandate, the employer mandate you have to provide, businesses have to provide expensive obama care mandated insurance means less money for wages, less money to give people raises. to try not to have to face these hard and high expenses, they are saying put more people on part-time work. cut people down to 29 or fewer hours a week, even though these are people who want to work more and looking for more hours. gerri: there is a suggestion today that the health care offered by walmart is better than the health care offered by obamacare. do you agree? >> well i think for those workers who find something that works for them i think it is. the bottom line is, the obama administration says, you have to buy some level of insurance that isn't right for most people. that it is, more insurance than people want or need or can afford and as a result they're looking at high deductibles,
5:19 pm
high co-pays, higher premiums and they feel they lost their freedom of choice and feel the government in washington is in control rather than american families. gerri: yeah, absolutely. a little too much government interference. senator, thanks for being with us tonight. >> great to see you begin. gerri: later in the show, date one of our user's guide to buying a second home. you will love that. is verizon set to change tv watching as we know it? we'll have the latest on their a la carte option. could be coming soon. we'll talk about that. ♪ whenwork with equity experts who work with regional experts
5:20 pm
5:23 pm
gerri: in a move that would shake up the satellite and cable tv world, verizon is offering to provide a tv-like internet that would include custom channels. here to explain this the senior equity analyst at s&p equity research and media group. tuna, you're the right man for this. basically we have netflix saying we'll give you on the web, verizon, pardon me, a la carte choices when it comes to television. can they pull that off? >> you know, i think that is the way the industry has been headed to right now. gerri: no question, that is the pressure and pressure from consumers. >> sure. gerri: but the real question is, does verizon have the power to negotiate and get deals with cbs, abc, nbc and everybody else that people want to watch? >> that is the $64,000 question. clearly i think the technology is in place. you know, ip and cloud based technology. the barriers is entry are relatively low. and consumers are certainly
5:24 pm
gravitating towards live and on demand programing. so if there is anything that the demise of aereo taught the industry, it is the fact that there is some consumer -- gerri: demand is there. >> that's right. i think there is appetite for that. what you see verizon, dish, tv all the major tv providers try to cater to this universe of potential consumers. gerri: tuna, i don't know what you would have to offer all these content providers to get these deals? what is the pressure on their end to make this happen? >> well the pressure is coming from you know, so-called cord cutting and card shavers. he have to come up with a formula to mitigate potential viewers migrating to, you know, less expensive options out there. think netflix, hulu, amazon. i think what is different here, you're talking about, you know, live broadcasting of streaming content, 24/7 access that.
5:25 pm
could really change the game for pay tv providers. as you alluded to, this is really, could be the turning point and i think the danger here for the conte providers and the, you know, aggregators to reach a balance, on the one hand to be able to kind of tap into these new consumer base that is not currently subscribing to pay television. on the other hand, to make sure that it doesn't cannibalize their core business which you're talking about, literally billions of dollars at stake. gerri: latest numbers on the aging of people who watch tv the old-fashioned way. and the numbers are astonishing. on the other hand, if you only cater super young people, who have the latest technology, that is not all the market either, right? >> that is not all the market. keep in mind this is highly desirable demographic for advertisers. this is very hard to reach. you see viacom, for example to make the first to make this deal. they have a young demographic. you can set the tone, a company
5:26 pm
like disney and fox and all of the companies that go after the younger generation and going to be -- gerri: you think there will be pressure on them? >> i think there will be pressure on them in some ways. it might not move the needle in the near term to be sure but over the long term i think you could have something, they could be on to something here. gerri: tuna, how much are they going to charge me for this? that is the big question. what could they get away with here? >> i think in general looking at low-priced options. generally less than $10 a month could be the sweet spot. gerri: oh, my goodness. you think what cable operators are charging right now, that is a fraction of that. thank you for coming on. great to meet you. >> thank you very much for having me. >> coming up, we're covering your assets with advice on ipos. can you say alibaba? we kick off our user's guide to buying a second home with advice on vacation homes. how far away should you look. how much should you spend? stay with us. we have all the details. ♪
