start raising rates to normalize because they know what the true state of the consumer is and it's not great. david: paul, thank you very much from "the wall street journal" thank you very much for watching. "the willis report" is now. >> hello, everyone, i'm gerri willis, and this is the "willis report," where the the show where consumers are our business. the auto industry in america is moving south. mercedes is the latest to shift its operations from new jersey to georgia. so why is president obama today cheerleading the auto industry's recovery in detroit? >> detroit always comes back. that is why i'm here today. gerri: oh, get this the president making that speech from a car plant that's closed. massacre at a magazine as terrorists strike paris. freedom of speech itself under attack again from muslim radicals. and police say there could be more attacks. >> throughout paris, throughout the region there is a massive

manhunt going on right now as the police try to find these killers. gerri: freezing weather sweeps into the u.s. and with it a flu epidemic in. health officials across the country are all seeing a spike in flu cases. also walmart will continue to sell pet food from china could make your pets sick or even kill it. the biggest pet food stores like petcoand petsmart will stop selling the food. so why is walmart saying no? we'll investigate. a very special organization using a unique way to match kidney donors and helping those in need beat the odds. all that and more coming up on "the willis report," where consumers are our business. gerri: we begin tonight with president obama's highly publicized road show, touting his grand vision for 2015 and what the white house touts as his rescue of the american auto industry. the catch? the road show kicked off at a

closed-down ford plant which has stopped making the compact ford focus for lack of demand. recovering the latest with doug holtz-eakin, president of american action forum. welcome to the show. always good to see you. >> thanks gerri. gerri: if it wasn't tragic it would be funny. the president claiming the auto bailout, eight at this billion dollars was a wonderful thing, a terrific thing yet the very plant he was at is closed down 5000 workers idled. it is a ford plant which didn't even take the money. what do you make of this? >> the white house is using this tour to basically claim that the recovery is complete, that things are good and that the president's policy are responsible. the auto bailout in particular they claimed again and again saved the u.s. auto industry. in fact it helped two companies, gm and chrysler. it upset the rules of bankruptcy in the process and handed one of those companies to his union allies. so it is hard to make the case they saved an industry. as you point out, one of the companies that got no help

whatsoever, ford is hosting this event in a plant idled because of low gasoline prices which is supposed to be good news for autos. in fact these are the kind of you know, highly efficient autos moving towards clean fuels of the president's choosing, they are ones that american consumer decided not to buy with lower fuel prices. >> you mentioned that the money went to two companies. let's remember chrysler is owned by the italians now. so i mean that's another fly in the ointment when you're trying to say that you have done great things. >> right. gerri: his other big claim that he reduced deficits by 2/3, doug, you know as well as i do, the debt is now $18 trillion. it is $7.5 trillion larger than when he took office. is that a win? >> that is not a win of the annual deficit has come down but that is striking tribute to the u.s. economy's resilience and its ability to recover in spite of poor economic stewardship. that is the real lesson.

economies recover from recession on their own. there are built-in mechanisms force the private sector do that. that is the built into the economy. the energy boom in the united states, was boosting a lot of our economic success, that was not boosted by the administration's policies. they made it difficult to drill on public lands and made a no stop regulatory war against the fracking boom. it is hard to make the case policies of this. policies improved an energy boom which idled their factory today and policies produced economic recovery that the president wants to take credit for. gerri: i'm glad you brought up energy. i think that's important. the president still saying, at least the white house implying they won't approve keystone which is the pipeline that would bring some 50,000 jobs to this country and also really improve our energy independence. so the irony here today that they're not going to do that, yet he wants to tout this massive recovery, what do you make of this?

>> look, keystone is a no-brainer. the right way to think about it is, is it better to have it or not? if you have it, you have construction jobs, income from the pipeline industry if you don't do that you don't get it. if you have it you connect to canadian oil to world market. that is what drives gasoline prices. so expanding supply helps on the gasoline price front. if you have it, you have a friendly policy towards your neighbors and your biggest trading partner to the north as opposed to what we have now which is an international relations disaster. gerri: right. >> the president and his allies claim it would be environmental disaster to bring this oil out of tar sands but the oil is coming out anyway. the question is how will the canadians transport it for sale. it doesn't matter. >> that's a great point. i want to turn your attention to the big story bubbling up today and so many people talking about, these horrific shoots by muslim terrorists in paris.

, it makes sense to flip the switch on keystone anyway, do you agree? >> we are largest producer of liquid fuels in the planet, the united states, not saudis or the middle east. why not build on that success. north american market canada to mexico, united states is place to do. that keystone is part of the infrastructure to continue that success. i don't see any reason not to do it. gerri: the president touting success of stimulus money, we're now addicted to stimulus. you saw what happened in the markets today. the dow on fire. the cac 40, paris exchange on fire. german stocks on fire. the ftse london's exchange on fire. why? because mario draghi will stimulate the e.u. with more liquidity. the entire world the entire planet now addicted to this kind of fake economy. what do you make of that? >> 10 years of extraordinary

monetary policy means it is not extraordinary anymore. it is business as usual. the question is it a good idea? the answer has to be no. we need to normalize monetary policy around the globe. we need to stop the temptation of targeted policies for the constituency is complaining at moment. tomorrow, for example the president will give a speech on housing. he will offer to cut premiums on fha guaranties by half a percentage point. that is exactly the kind of thing that got us into the housing bubble to begin with. exactly the kind of problem that generate ad huge taxpayer risk. that kind of temporary stimulus for the housing market is not the solution. gerri: i agree. thanks for the preview of that housing speech. doug, good to see you. >> good to see you. gerri: well, on to a different kind of story. this is about pet treats more of a consumer focus here. walmart refusing to pull pet treats made from china off its shelves. despite the concern that the treats sickened or killed a thousand pets since 2007, the biggest retailer is holding

firm. with more on this the medical director at the veterinary emergency referral group here in new york city. great to see you. you have the cutest dog with you. tell us the dog's name. >> cokie, singing frog from puerto rico. gerri: what a cutie. you have to be concerned about these pet treats. do you treat dogs that have eaten these pet treats? >> not only have we treated dogs but had to give owners the bad news it is far too late to continue with treatment and their pats actually die. gerri: my goodness how often does that happen? >> fortunately with all the pub list these treats are getting people are intervening sooner. that is the key to treatment to go ahead and act when you first see these signs. gerri: i want to show folks what we're talking about here. i think it's a mystery to a lot of people. here is something we picked up. there is a cute dog. here is something we picked up here in a store in manhattan. this is one of the treats.

this is duck turkey. this is made in china. we have video of that. that is made in china. that is the problem, isn't it? chinese products getting on store shelves making people sick making pets sick. are you telling folks to watch out for this? >> not just ones that say made in china. you could have them actually produce here in the united states. where those proteins and sweet potatoes and things are sourced from. gerri: they don't ha labeled, that's right. even if they say made in the usa. let me read another label to you. this is amazing. this label is for a rib buy bone. basically says that the ingredients could come from anywhere. could come from the u.s. argentina, chile colombia or mexico. take your pick. we don't know. we have no idea. what is your best advice for folks out there? >> people want to reward the pets because they're farther of the -- part of the family. treats are not essential part of the diet i know you don't want to hear. that give all natural treats

like carrot or plain rice cakes. gerri: will they eat that. >> they do. a lot of dogs love them. gerri: carrots, rice cakes. what else is on that list? >> you can also give fresh chicken. absolutely love. that you know that you're cooking it yourself. no spices and it is an excellent treat for them. gerri: no spices. do they get sick on that. >> they do with common spices like onion and garlic. gerri: i mentioned at intro that walmart is not willing to pull this stuff from the shelves. what do you think of that move? >> as a veterinarian i think it is reckless to continue to have these products on the shelf because they continue to cause illness and death in our pets. gerri: great to have you here, dr. brad. i love your puppy dog. if you see one, let me know. >> i sure will. gerri: we want to know what you think. here is our question tonight. would you feed your dog treats from china? log on to gerriwillis.com, vote

on the right-hand side of the screen. i will share results at the end of tonight's show. still to come this hour the latest on the scandal at morgan stanley which private customer information was exposed on line. arctic air pushing windchills to minus 30 degrees tonight and into tomorrow. what bitter cold temperatures will mean to your health coming up and how long will it last? send me an email gerriwillis.com. we want to hear from you. we'll be right back. if you're taking multiple medications does your mouth often feel dry? a dry mouth can be a side effect of many medications. but it can also lead to tooth decay and bad breath. that's why there's biotene

available as an oral rinse toothpaste, spray or gel. biotene can provide soothing relief and it helps keep your mouth healthy too. remember, while your medication is doing you good, a dry mouth isn't. biotene, for people who suffer from a dry mouth.

gerri: a blast of arctic air blanketing much of the country today, prompting schools from alabama to the dakotas to close. so, how long will these windchills registering below 30 degrees last? let's ask axe accuweather justin

povac. justin? >> gerri i hate to be the bear -- bearer of bad news tonight heading into tomorrow. the cold is at its worst. here is the problem, it is pooling weeks and weeks across canada. and now spreading across the southeast at coldest time of the year. this is what it feels like right now. minus 19 in pittsburgh. minus 23 in burlington. the southeast, with the school cancellations today, where it is going to be just as cold if not colder heading into tomorrow as this large arctic dome continues to slide its way off to the south and the east. well so we see waves upon waves, worst which will occur next 12 to 24 hours. with that we're dealing with lake effect bands of snow some snow squalls. where it snows heavily for short amount of time and you have gusty winds. the winds are definitely a big factor right now in combination with the cold. that is why we have the

windchills and temperatures so low. so here comes the arctic front crashing the party all the way southbound towards our nation's capitol. we'll have a couple of inches of snow throughout the northeast next couple of days. but, gerri, the big story, here at least into thursday evening and thursday night will be this cold which will actually break some records, we do believe throughout the southeast and northeast. gerri: justin, tell me looks like florida is escaping the pain true? >> yes, southern florida, i'll tell you, that is the place to be weatherwise. miami, west palm beach, in the 70s. that is hard to say, 70 degrees. looks like they will see some slightly cooler temperatures but 60 is not all that bad that far south, right? gerri: i was there last week. it was in the 80s. it was heaven. justin, thank you. >> oh. you bet. gerri: well moving on to your world and the weather, right? mom had it right. she said cold weather causes colds and now that, now

scientists at the yale university agree after a long and expensive study of course. dr. rosy shohan joins us with details. doctor, you must see a lot of flu in your practice. i wonder if you agree with people at yale. is it true cold weather makes it more likely to get a cold or the flu? >> just to point out, this study was conducted in mice. gerri: that is different than human. >> yes it is. but at the end. day when we talk about old wives tales this might be my way of looking at things, i don't think so. but old wives tales are observations. research comes from observations. gerri: that's true. >> then guide medical research and what we do in medical practice. gerri: so your point was fairly scientific, that the bugs that cause colds are more likely to replicate in cold weather than in warm weather? >> yes. most colds are caused by a rhino

virus which is different than influenza. they showed in colder weather under 92 degrees fahrenheit, that virus multiplied more aggressively. they also found that the mice they did do studies on also changed their defense mechanisms to any kind of virus or bacteria. gerri: well, speaking of defense mechanisms, i'm angry, because i got the flu shot, now i am afraid i will get the flu. i want to show a map. let's show a map where the flu is right now. it isn't very scientific either frankly, doctor. take a look at this. here you can see where the flu is strong. dark red state. almost everywhere right? >> yes. gerri: is this one of the biggest flu seasons you've seen? >> apparently so. certainly the last three years. two years ago there was quite a strong flu season but this is the worst. and it is predominantly because of the strain of flu that's

present. gerri: they changed right? the shot isn't effective? >> it mutated but that illustrates all of these viruses we look at, whether it is the cold or particularly the flu obviously more dangerous viruses do do things we aren't able to explain or that we're not able to accommodate for. so, you know more, it is important for us therefore, to treat them the same and use precautions that are going to work and that is to wash your hands, don't sneeze in groups of people. sanitize your hand-held products and keyboards, for instance. that is the modern way of life now. and don't go into groups of people who are ill or, if you're ill your seven, don't go to work. gerri: don't expose people. >> no very important. the thing is, children, under the age of six are particular susceptible to flu issues and complications. 21 today have died from this flu season alone.

so it is important to -- yeah, it is a lot. it is tragic. gerri: it has been tough this year, tough for the elderly and for the young, they have really had a hard time this year and we appreciate you, doctor coming on to talk to us about it. and i think those folks over at yale may have a good point about colds. >> i think so. very exciting. thanks so much for having me. gerri: thanks for coming on. later in the show more on the search for the islamic terrorists who attacked a newspaper office in paris today and killed a dozen people. three suspects now identified. and next still more questions than answers as the morgan stanley in mystery continues to unfold. our very own charlie gasparino will join me on his view of who what where when and why. ♪ these ally bank ira cds really do sound like a sure thing but i'm a bit skeptical of sure things. why's that? look what daddy's got... ahhhhhhhhhh!!!!!

growth you can count on from the bank where no branches equals great rates.

gerri: welcome back to the "willis report." coming up, we head live to the consumer electronics show in las vegas but first a look at other stories in the news in case you missed it. fran's interior minister says security forces are hunting for three gunmen who stormedded office of the satirical newspaper in paris we've been talking about all day killing a dozen people and shouting god is great in arabic. according to video filmed by the witnesses the gunmen escaped in a waiting car. french authorities ratcheted up securities to the highest levels. we'll have more on this in just a moment with kt mcfarland. president obama is threatening a another veto. this is to increase obama's definition of full-time workers from 30 to 40 hours a week. they say the law is encouraging companies to cut workers hours.

the white house says there is no evidence of that. dallas authorities are asking people not to call 911 for earthquakes, only if they need help. they had 11 earthquakes topping 3.5. however no major damages or injuries were reported. netflix wants to show the movie "the interview" but execs are not saying how they would make it possible. the movie is available on other video services after the sony hacking attack forced the cancellation of the film's theater release. those are some stories in the news in case you missed it. turning back to paris right now, serious story as president obama is calling the attack on the french newspaper, an attack on the free press, calling it cowardly and evil but not denouncing a act of terrorism. french officials said they have identified three suspects. fox news national security expert kt mcfarland joins me on the story. k. it, you say that is the new normal? >> the old normal old al qaeda

big planned attacks, usama bin laden, a lot of money moving around internationally a lot of moving parts. that is last century. this century is what we're going to see increased two kinds lone wolf terrorists who go on internet and get radicalized and grab a hatchet or knife to do random violence. more worrisome thing is this these are trained terrorists. where did they get their training? the word these are european citizens who go to syria, iraq, learn how to fight and become experienced jihadist terrorist fighters and return to their home country. gerri: this isn't necessarily somebody who is mall adjusted problem with mom, trying to copy it on internet these are people who knew how to use a gun. this was clear today that was the case. this seems very professional. >> this is the not the first time these people killed. the worry is hundreds potentially thousands of western passport holders are learning how to do this and going back to the home countries where they

can move around freely where they operate at ease and will and will conduct these operations. gerri: here is my question for you. so these three people that the french authorities are looking at, what are the chances they land at jfk tonight? >> look at it this way. if you're a european passport holder you can come to the united states without a visa. there is little to prevent them from doing. that if they already bought a airplane ticket and if they're not on european watch list you can they can show up here or worse an american goes over there to fight and comes back here. what makes me mad we have technology to track these people. gerri: how can we do that? >> amazing what happened in the last two years of mining, metadata and software companies to look at social media not only track who the bad guys are in the chat rooms and going to the jihadist websites but analyze that personality and behavior. what we've done for the last decade we looked at everybody and treated everybody alike. once you decide you have to start profiling not racial

profiling, not religious profiling, terrorist behavior pattern profiling you separate out small percentage of the peel give them attention they need. not just arrest after the fact but hopefully prevent. gerri: track them down and prevent something. >> prevent. that is the word you need to use. gerri: the thing i find so discouraging, so many people even now, still, won't call these folks what they are. there is this very polite conversation you know. these are jihad its. these are muslim extremists, terrorists, call them what you will but call it what it is, right? >> to me that is the biggest problem of all. we're not admitting we have a problem, not calling what it is. if you don't identify it, call it what it is islamic extremist terrorist and use those words together otherwise you won't figure out how to fight it. >> you have to call it what it is. >> call it what it is. gerri: i want to read a quote from salman rushdie the author, he has been through this. he took himself underground

after his life was threatened by terrorists. he says this today religion medieval form of unreason when combined with modern weaponry become as real threat to our freedoms. this religious totalitarian system caused by deadly 3utation in the heart of islam and we see tragic consequences in paris today. i stand with the magazine newspaper that we've discussed as we all must to defend the art of satire which is always a force of liberty against tyranny, dishonty and stupidity. what do you make of that? >> the president of egypt came out on new year's day, he wasn't pussyfooting around and called it what it is. he went to the religious community of egypt, you imams you have to own this the world is looking at us and looking at islam and radical jihad and putting them all together. it is up to us up to muslims to self-correct and tell the story that is a different story. because otherwise the world looks at that and -- gerri: that's islam. >> that's islam. and that is not islam but you have to step up and the only

way -- gerri: we need to hear that more. >> we need to hear it a lot more. and have the communities self-police. what happened to the three terrorists? they went back to the no-go suburbs where no non-muslim dare to enter. gerri: massive populations of muslims in and around paris but they are completely segregated from the rest of the community, rest of the society there. they stand on their own. generally other people don't go in. >> they're called no-go zones. why? because they have sharia law set up. it is multiculturalism. we'll accept, these are people who would cut off somebody's head if they had the opportunity and understand what they are, understand that it is evil and go get it. and prevent these attacks. otherwise we're going to have more and more and more of it. the great tragedy of it all, that the media, journalists, they will start self-censoring because they don't want to be next. gerri: that's right. our way of life is threatened. kt, thanks for talking to us

gerri: there is still plenty of mystery surrounding the inside job to steal data from morgan stanley clients. when will we find out the real answers. charlie gasparino, fox business correspondent. i thought you said something super smart about this yesterday. we were talking about this issue. three350,000 morgan stanley clients get their information stolen. >> the guys lawyer is now saying he wasn't going to sell.

gerri: what else was he going to do with it? >> i don't know. let's put this in perspective. morgan stanley has 3.5 million brokerage clients. this guy had access to 10% of their clients, their names account numbers, not a lot of other information where he could steal it. he apparently put in this file that was put on a file sharing service. gerri: this is a file sharing service that's used by people that are selling information that's been illegal gotten. okay? >> he put 900 of those names on this thing. gerri: presumably. >> morgan stanley doesn't think he's looking to sell those names to another brokerage firm. most of those firms know the top 10% of the wealthy people are. he was going to sell it to a bucket shop or a bitcoin -- gerri: they actually have evidence that there was effort

to sell this data. >> it doesn't matter what his motive was. you and i have been around a long time. this kid has not been around a long time. twenty-five years old or something. when i was at the wall street journal i wrote a story about these three knucklehead brokers got access to one of their top fund managers -- famous, ran the fund. had access to his trades and piggybacked off his trades. my point at these firms, information is very fluid. you, the average consumer your account information is not sacrosanct. gerri: you're saying it's not safe. it's not safe at a brokerage firm. >> i'm no greg fleming. well-meaning guy. gary is his number two over there. well-meaning guys. not it looked screw

customers. gerri: but you have to have systems in place. >> i know. gerri: you know what they did after this happened. granted they found him. charlie: they found him. they found him. gerri: but they went in and closed the doors behind him. he was able to get access. he wasn't the most experienced -- charlie: my point is: that the positive side is that they caught him. none of these firms -- you won't have 100% security at any of these firms. gerri: well, that's reassuring. >> it is what it is. are you going to hide under a rock and not invest? you have an account at e-trade. it's an electronic account. no one has access to your information? gerri: but no one is selling my information. charlie: how do you know? someone could do it. gerri: i expect these firms to do the highest level of identity protection. charlie: don't you expect the president of the united states

not to lie to the american people. gerri: that's a totally different conversation. >> we live in a world where there's human beings. there are bad apples. the culture at morgan stanley -- gerri: that sounds like a bit fat excuse. >> gerri, it's life. you're telling me there's no auto dealers that's crooked. no shoeshine people are crooked? every car vel ownership is not perfect. (?) financial stuff -- what are you going to do? gerri: as much as i like you -- >> you have no solution. gerri: they should close the door -- >> we should end world hungry. gerri: why weren't there higher controls put in place? >> i want to wipe up world hunger. gerri: that's what we're doing right now. we're making the world a better place. >> you're living in a

utopia. gerri: i have high standards. >> shit happens. it does. be prepared to know what you're up against. gerri: we'll talk more about shit happening later in the show. thank you, charlie. when we come back, an aspiring story of three sisters who made something good out of something bad. next we head back to the consumer electronics show in vegas with the man who started mtv. his interview with liz claman. here's your consumer gauge with the numbers that mean the most to you.

gerri: the consumer electronics show is on. right now in vegas. earlier today we heard from aol ceo tim armstrong about media trends and the under armour ceo about the fusion of fashion and

high-tech. let's check in with liz claman who has a special and exciting guest. liz. liz: listen, this place is saturated with radios and speakers. are those consumer electronics, are they vessels through which iheart radio can grow and thrive? this is bob pittman the founder of mtv. you guys look at things in a different light. >> the initial impression kid in candy store. 3d printers. it just looks fascinating. liz: but what does have to do with your business? all the audio that's constantly being upgraded and updated. >> one, the world is paying a lot of attention to audio which is very good for us. the other thing, they're talked about the connected car. obviously when radio since two-thirds of our usage is out of home the car is like our temple. we worship. and i like the auto

folks are paying attention and doing interesting things which are great for us. the am/fm radio is still there and still important. now we can connect to the audience. we can talk to them not just through a telephone, but all the methods they want information. liz: you made radio cool again. iheart radio married itself with these concerts. the jingle ball concert was huge in new york city. taylor swift opted to spend her birthday with bob pittman. well actually on stage with him. >> thank you taylor. liz: what is that branding doing for iheart radio. >> it's interesting. we take all of our broadcast radio stations and it's part of iheart radio. you have the clock radio, the kitchen radio, the affordable radio. for us it's one more way the listeners get to

us. we view it as one big platform. instead of the request line, we have facebook we have twitter, we have all these other services. there's instagram that the consumer can talk to us. jingle ball got 8 billion impressions. the halftime at the super bowl is two and a half billion. that tells you the magnitude of what we're doing. for us, the audience loves this relationship and they love we're taking them new places, exciting places, and we're making it very excited. liz: how many sess have you been over the years? >> i have no idea. i came the first time when we had atari. liz: that was unveiled here. >> a long time ago. liz: a lot of things have been unveiled here. is there a different feel this year to year's past? >> i think this year probably admitted that this is a major gathering for the advertising business. our major clients are here.

all the major agencies are here. it's like going for the lion festival in june. two weeks after christmas break, but i think everybody is here. they're interested in what is going on. we're feeding off the energy of new future and all these partnerships that are happening here. liz: when a company like yours gets so much buzz, i think are you going to make an acquisition. what's your next step? >> we don't look at it that way. where will we go? do we make it, buy it, do we partner for it. we've done all three. we don't need to grow to add something to grow. we need to add people to keep this evolution going on. so it starts with the consumer and starts with our creative people and our technologicallists and putting the people today.

liz: from taylor swift today. they were one of the first mtv videos. but bob pittman has been all the way through. bob pittman of iheart radio. big party. i will try to crash it. >> come. liz: listen, as we send it back to you gerri, i just grabbed this on the fly. we showed this earlier. i had to show it again in case someone missed it. it's called the u thermostat. it attaches to your wall. you press it. you get the thermostat temperature. the cool parts in the customization. whatever you want. you can put your own wallpaper. your city skyline. any color. so it melds with your wall. i thought this was fascinating. the u thermostat. run by a couple of guys over there. it's been a wonderful, wonderful journey here at ces2015.

we'll be back next year for sure. >> i'm still jazzed about bob pittman. that was fun. you bet. (?) and still to come my "2 cents more." and up, next, three sisters tell us how they used their father's father's illness as an inspiration for a nonprofit helping our families like theirs. they'll join me after the break.

inspired through their own personal efforts to save their ailing father. here are jennifer cynthia, founders of the flood sisters foundation of america. welcome to you guys. so glad to have you here today. sisters. twins here. i want to start with you jenna. seven years ago, august 2007, you guys decided to post on craigslist to help your father who is sick. what were you trying to do? >> the three of us were not a match. gerri: he was sick. >> he was sick with kidney disease. he needed an o donor. none of us were a match. we used craigslist for everything selling jewelry. gerri: you were familiar with it. you decided to use social media to help your dad. there he is right there. there was a payoff obviously. what happened? >> over 100 people responded nationwide. a perfect match was found from a woman in

california. gerri: so was this woman was she just someone you guys didn't know and she volunteered to do this? >> right. she was a stranger. a volunteer add on craigslist. gerri: is that unusual? >> no. for people that go to the volunteer section looking to do volunteer work, that's a common thing. >> many people want to give back in some way. gerri: and that's how they do it. >> that's how they do it. gerri: that's amazing to me. you found a donor, how is your dad doing. >> he's doing amazing. seventy-three. has his life back. gerri: you guys must feel like a million dollars? >> we feel proud. gerri: now you started a foundation. you want to help other people. >> we educate people. living donation, kidney health. we provide matching services for people in need of kidney donors. gerri: how do you do that? is it through social media again? >> i do a lot of social media. i twitter. i facebook. i'm always doing pr for

the organization and getting us out there and trying to find a way to save our patients. gerri: how many people have you found matches for? >> six people, which include their dad. gerri: that's awesome. just terrific. what are you guys going to do next? what's next on the agenda? >> six patients we're working right now. >> we have a lot of events like fashion shows. raise awareness. gerri: get people to know about it. down the road -- we're seeing pictures of the family right now. which is nice to see who gets helped how it happens. do you think there's a lot of awareness to this disease? i think a lot of people don't understand the difficulties of people finding organ donors. we have some numbers that i was surprised. 80000 people in the us are waiting for a kidney donor. very difficult to find. right? twenty-one people a day die waiting, waiting for a donor and it takes years, five years, in fact, or more to find a donor on average. you guys want to shrink

that wait time. right? >> yes. we bypassed the waiting list for our dad and we're doing it for others. gerri: you guys are awesome. thanks for coming on the show. three sisters saving their dad. that's -- my heart is broken. okay. we'll be right back with my "2 cents more" and the answer to the question of the day. would you feed your dog treats from china? stay with us.

gerri: petco has removed dog treats made in china from store shelves because they may have been making thousands of pets sick. would you feed your dog treats from china? that's what we asked on our website gerriwillis.com. 5% said yes. 95% said -- you're on to that. you won't buy that. and stepping up in the face of tragedy, a foundation created to honor a firefighter killed on 9/11 has

raised enough money to pay off the mortgages of two slain new york city police officers. the tunnel to towers foundation says, more than a million dollars has been donated or pledged to help the families of the detectives killed in the line of duty. the money will pay for repairs to the two homes. that's a great story. and final, you know what, it was a very strange day. the market is on fire as oil prices rise. a devastating attack by islamic terrorists in paris, good news and very, very bad news. truth is: our way of life is under attack by terrorists. attacks in canada australia, and yes now paris. those attacks demonstrate the range of these criminals and how far they're willing to go. we need to think of ourselves as being on a wartime footing. this is the new normal. and that's my "2 cents more." (?) and that's it for tonight's willis report. thanks for joining us.
