tv   The Willis Report  FOX Business  April 1, 2015 5:00pm-6:01pm EDT

5:00 pm
parsons, guy who founded godaddy. semper fi brother. >> foxnews.com. after-market holding steady for godaddy. >> time for "the willis report." stay with us. liz: have a great night. >> hello everybody i'm gerri willis. this is "the willis report," the show where consumers are our business. we're deep into tax season. so why is the irs ignoring our calls for help? the world's biggest retailer has a plan to give you big savings at the checkout but can they beat amazon and target prices? for better or worse, and in debt? saying i do mean marrying your spouse's college loan debt? "the willis report"'s money coach is here with the answer. major reversal in arkansas. why the governor is now refusing to sign the state's religious freedom bill. >> this is a bill that in ordinary times would not be controversial but these are not ordinary times.
5:01 pm
>> we're taking a lap around the new york auto show. we have the hottest new cars to hit the market. all that and more coming up on "the willis report," where consumers are our business. gerri: if you are one of the millions of americans scrambling to file your taxes by april 15th, don't expect much help from the irs. they say, things have gotten so bad for them, they're ignoring more than 60% of taxpayer calls. >> the underfunding of the agency is the most critical challenge facing the irs today. as the serious ramifications of five years of budget cuts become increasingly visible, i don't want anyone to say that we didn't warn you in advance. >> don't want anybody to say we didn't warn you. with more on this, heritage research fellow for tax and economic policy curtis dubai. welcome to the show. 100 million people tried to call the irs.
5:02 pm
this year, 60% of them won't get their phone calls answered. why? >> i think there is two things going on. first is the tried and true washington monument. irs is said it had budget cuts so taking it out on the american people by delaying service. which i say boo-hoo. look you acted illegally by targeting certain americans. you're lucky congress didn't cut your budget more. you have shown no more remorse what you did. showing no effort to clean up your act. >> wait a minute. wait a minute. curtis that is contentable. that is not how you respond. you're supposed to be an agency serving americans. you will have to explain exactly what you mean by the irs doing things they shouldn't. >> well, they targeted certain conservative groups for extra scrutiny during the 2012 campaign. going back to the scandal going on for couple years now. obama administration irs has done nothing to clean up the agency. because of that they deserve the budget cut they got. obama administration did the same tactic during the
5:03 pm
government shutdown back in 2013. putting out again with the irs, trying to, trying to put heat on congress for cutting their budget. the thing that is going on -- gerri: go ahead. >> the second thing that is going on, the irs trying to administer a tax code that is tremendously complex. it can't be administered by any agency. that is congress's fault, not reforming tax code and making it so complex. gerri: i agree with that. all right's unpack a few other things here, okay? we we have a lot to get through. you mentioned the irs budget. we'll look at the budget. 10.5 billion in 2005. bumps up to 12.1 in 2010. in 2015, back down again. nina olson, taxpayer advocate, says you have enough money to do what you really need to be doing is serving taxpayers, helping taxpayers. that is not what we're getting here, curtis.
5:04 pm
look at telephone service record here. it would take you four minutes to get your call answered in 2005. 19 minutes in 2014. a half an hour or more this year. that is the projections. this to me just says, the irs they don't really care. you know, they're angry. they're upset. and they don't really care. >> well i think, they're trying to hurt taxpayers because they want to show congress and say, hey, look, you're cutting our budget we're mad bit. the other thing too their responsibilities i will give them a little bit of slack here their responsibilities have really broken last two years mostly because of obamacare. gerri: that's true. >> a lot of pressure is put on irs by congress. gerri: let's not let them entirely off the hook here. let me tell you why. they sent $5.2 billion to identititives thieves. this is could have gone to regular americans for refunds. sending it to the wrong people.
5:05 pm
seems to me that is a problem irs could solve this, do you agree? >> certainly could. always a choice of resources. there is a lot of resources going auditing corporations. a lot of resources going into making sure individuals paying right amount. now a lot of resources going to make sure irs, subsidies for obamacare are the right amount. there is probably not enough resources to go along, around the irs. if it was normal situation i would be on the irs sides, because illegal activity they engaged i have no sympathy for then. gerri: 98% of the taxpayers. it is voluntary compliance. we're not a nation of scofflaws. we pay our taxes. that is what i believe. curtis thanks for coming on the show tonight. >> glad to be here. gerri: we want to know what you think. here is our question tonight. have you had trouble getting through to the irs for help? log on to gerriwillis.com for the vote. i will share the results at the end of tonight's show. programing note for you, all
5:06 pm
next week another "willis report" user's guide as we focus on last minute tax tips. scams to look out for, getting deductions you deserve. we're always looking out for you. if you have tax questions, let us know. our experts will have questions you need. drop us an email going to gerriwillis.com. head's up to shoppers out there. walmart is cracking down on suppliers to make everyday low prices cheaper for customers. plus amazon out with a new gadget today, letting you buy household staples with a push of a button. check that out. we're discussing latest in retail with the patriarch of equity. good to see you again. >> good to see you. gerri: what walmart is doing is squeezing suppliers and they are well-known for doing this. they have done multiple times. now they're getting serious. why is it so important for walmart to squeeze as much as they can out of their suppliers? >> look, they have lost market share to many different companies, kroger and others.
5:07 pm
and so what they're attempting to do is they're trying to recast themselves as the low-price leader. there is not a lot of room for them to go after the revenues and those abilities to, the ability to be able to convict and produce that for consumers unless you are leaning on the vendors because they just, after all gave this big increase in terms of salaries to all of their employees. gerri: that's right. >> which is honorable but they have to make it up. gerri: i will tell you, kroger you mentioned. what about amazon? what about online retailers? they're coming after walmart's business. seems to me they're facing more pressure than ever before? >> they have a lot of pressure right now and, so the way they're going after it, they're saying to these vendors, look the type of comarketting that you would traditionally do, the type of coproduct marketing, we want you to scale it back. we want you to give us those dollars and eliminate what they consider to be ininefectual advertising. some of the people are talking
5:08 pm
to ininefectual advertise something print media. >> wow. >> yes. gerri: that is interesting. bottom line here what is this going to mean for consumers? will we see lower prices at walmart? >> i think it's a great thing for consumers, gerri. what it really will mean, anywhere from five to 10%, in some cases more for the right products which is a great thing it's really the whole premise of what sam walton -- gerri: okay. let's move on to amazon because i think this is a story that has great visuals. and a lot of people are talking about it today. they have a new product called dash the button. you push a button with tide written on it you automatically order tide. this is offered to amazon prime customers. i'm sorry dash button. i misspoke. you can get almost virtually any consumer product that you would replace frequently, offered that way. you can automatically order it. who do you think this advantages? do think this is going to stay? >> i think it will stay.
5:09 pm
i think it advantages consumers that don't want to take anymore time out to shop. they don't want to go online. they don't want to grow to the store. they can just push a it about ton. ultimately what they're designing into these products amazon is, the ability for the robot, the system to be able to reorder automatically. so, they will measure how much coffee you have left. it will measure how much tide detergent you may have left and it will just order ahead of time. that is the future. it is the whole premise of internet of things. gerri: i think, look at the products right there. bounty, huggies, toilet paper mac and cheese, stuff you order over and over again. eric, quick response i think people get advantaged by this are consume irproduct makers. all of sudden tide has a it about ton possibly even on your washing machine to get more product this must be their dream? >> it's a dream. there is no question. they get a huge advantage but also consumers get more time to
5:10 pm
be able to do the things that they want. you have to be careful if you have little ones. you could end up with a lot of button pushing. >> eric, thanks for coming on. >> nice to see you, gerri. thank you. gerri: still a lot more to come this hour. talks with iran extended beyond the deadline. fight for religious freedom laws moves from indiana to arkansas. we'll have the latest, is walmart part of the fight? let me know what you think. tweet me @gerriwillisfbn. or go to our website, gerriwillis.com. we'll be right back. ♪

5:13 pm
gerri: democrat senator bob menendez of new jersey has been incited -- indicted with corruption charges by a grand jury. first sitting senator in seven years to face criminal charges. here to weigh in brad blakeman, former deputy assistant to
5:14 pm
former president george w. bush and guy benson, political editor townhall.com fox news contributor. guy, start with you. your reaction. charges brought after two years investigation brought by the fbi. not a surprise but what are you thinking tonight? >> not a surprise. ethical clouds hung over bob menendez's head for years. appears the fed may have got entheir man. he is innocent until proven guilty. this involves a doctor in south florida this guy is tied to. he is big democratic donor. we'll see whether menendez defends himself or resigns. he is giving a statement tonight at 7:00 p.m. one small note interesting politically. menendez has been one of the staunch critics of obama administration on cuba and iran policy. if he is out of the picture that might change certain dynamics on other important stories. gerri: interesting. brad, to you, i'm curious how effective will they be going after menendez the last sitting senator the feds went after,
5:15 pm
alaska senator ted stevens, the whole investigation was botched really. >> it was and of course he was later cleared. but senator menendez has a real challenge ahead of him. he has to do his job. he also has to defend himself. but there may be smoke leading to some fire and here's why. he already gave back to the government over $58,000 in monies for private flights he took on vacation on the doctor's private plane. so he was hoping by doing that this would go away. obviously it has not. and that's the probable cause. and more that this indictment brings. gerri: let's switch gears and move to iran for a second and the negotiations going there for iran to have not nuclear weapons they say but they want to develop nuclear energy. guy to start with you. another delay. we're thinking now maybe waiting until thursday to come up with a framework possibly of a deal. is this likely? do you think this is going to stretch out till june? >> i think this is going to go
5:16 pm
on and on. what we've heard from team obama and team kerry, for months and years now, frankly is that no deal with iran would still be preferrable to a bad deal. but i think their actions, their conduct has belied that manna. they are -- mantra. they are desperate to cut a deal at any costs. iranians recognize that. they have sat at that table and extracted one major concession for another, from the west, led by americans. they're still sitting at table making demands. this is the third round of talks. they delayed twice before. they have missed yet another deadline. at what point do we walk away? these are untrustworthy evil people representing this terrible regime. gerri: brad, to that point benjamin netanyahu earlier this week the country, iran, is about a year away from having a nuclear bomb. don't we want some agreement with them?
5:17 pm
don't we want to hold them so some promise if that is true? >> if it were possible, the answer would be yes. the problem with iran any agreement they make is honored in the breach. any agreement from this administration binding future presidents. obama is buying two years of his presidency and binding other presidents to eight years beyond that. this is a bad deal. any deal with iran is a bad deal because they can't be trusted. nor can i believe the agreement be verified. in this holy week for christians and jews how ironic we're sitting across the table from the very country to this day seeks our destruction, israel's destruction and that of christianity? >> april fool's day by the way. gerri: that's very good point. but, guy to you, the senate republicans are pushing a bill would give congress the power to kill or approve any deal announced. is that going anywhere? >> i think it will. i think there are democrats on board as well. there were well over 300 members
5:18 pm
of congress getting on, 400 members of the house of representatives signed a a week or two ago we have to review this deal. that is the constitutional prerogative of the legislative brand. fact that obama and his team are balking giving the legislature the opportunity to look the deal i think is very telling. ultimately that is what the constitution says. public opinion polls also say, people want congress to have the final say on any deal with iran. >> i want to move now to this religious freedom bill. many states considering a conversation moving to arkansas. brad, to you. what do you make of this? what is your view whether any of these states will go forward with this legislation? >> perception sometimes is reality. the reality this perception has taken hold where the bills, the ink isn't even dry in arkansas and indiana, already the governors and chief executives are talking about amending these
5:19 pm
bills. this was absolutely poor planning. the intent may have been good but the result is bad. and it is a real reflex on the type of governance that we're having in this country where bills are just being pushed through without thought, rhyme or reason or the fallout from these bills. the fact that even governors are talking about changing them, tells you how bad this was in both of these states. gerri: guy, this afternoon the ge ceo, jeff immelt latest ceo to jump on the bandwagon. making governor pence say that state laws don't permit discrimination. what is your reaction to the way corporate america has responded to this? >> corporate america, media aligned with each other with a very powerful megaphone spreading many cases intentionally or otherwise flagrantry false information what is in the bills what the intent of bills are and what they can actually do. i think the perhaps the most
5:20 pm
important point that can be made by the indiana bill similar to 19 other states religious freedom bill riff froms, the bill signed by bill clinton in 1993 what the law does in indiana. does not give a license to discriminate for anyone, provides an avenue of self-defense people facing sanction from the government or lawsuit in indiana, if they're getting attacked if they're being sued or punished they can cite their religious liberties as potential defense. there is no guaranty that they would win in court. gerri: the irony heres is, religious minorities who used these laws in the past to protect themselves. american indians i have to grow my hair long. i don't care what the school said. the court sided because of these very laws. very complicated conversation. brad, guy, thanks for coming on the show. great to have you. >> thanks gerri. gerri: from state governments to the white house and more broken promises from this
5:21 pm
administration, when it comes to transparency, according to the "washington free beacon," listen to this. the white house transparency website is becoming, well less transparent. visitors to usaspending.gov can no longer search federal spending by key words, sort contracts by date or find information on awards. instead they want you to search by zip code. hmmm. that might be a little more difficult to do. coming up later in the show a look at the best chefs for 2015. next, you heard the saying when you marry somebody you marry their family but what about their debt? does that become yours too? advice from our money coach after the break. ♪ ook club they were asking me what you're doing now, janice. blogging. your blog is just pictures of you in the mirror. it's called a fashion blog todd. well, i've been helping people save money with progressive's discounts. flo, can you get janice a job?

5:26 pm
i was financing my vehicle at the time. and just unpaid medical bills. gerri: wow. >> so yeah. >> did you guys talk about this samuel? was there a conversation before you got married? what was your attitude toward the debt? >> absolutely my conversation. my attitude she didn't have to be debt-free but we had to be on same page. i got ahold of financial principles hat changed my life. introduced kirsti to it. she was on fire like me. she just didn't have the information. >> right. gerri: what do you advise the young couple, sitting on a ton of debt? i believe $50,000 at this time? they made real progress paying it down. not like they're sitting on their keisters. they're doing work here. what would you say they should do? >> i think focusing on getting the debt paid off is a great way to start your marriage off. if you get that that financial ball and chain, if you will off of your back then it can free you up for the future to invest
5:27 pm
heavily in other types of things. 401(k)s, savings plans et cetera. >> now, samuel, i understand that you are a the money brain here in this couple. >> yeah. gerri: is it hard for you, because when you're paying off a debt it is hard to save for retirement? hard to set up an emergency fund. hard to do things that would give you peace of mind. are you able to put any money toward that? >> what gives us peace of mind is paying off the debt. we know eventually we're on track to be debt-free by december. so it is not a long period of time. we're after it. so that is peace of mind in off itself. early next year we're back into investing in retirement and keep it going. gerri: kirsti, do you worry you will get back into debt or did you drink the kool-aid my friend, are you now on the page, no more debt? >> i have definitely drank the cool i had. -- kool-aid. no more debt, not at all. just the peace of mind knowing that we're free, going to be free from this stuff. just, really grassping of
