tv The Willis Report FOX Business April 30, 2015 5:00pm-6:01pm EDT
5:00 pm
showing you live pictures from baltimore maryland at a peaceful protest. this is live shots from wttg. this is baltimore. philadelphia, same story. we're seeing peaceful protests in philadelphia right now. ashley: the will list -- gerri: hello everybody, i'm gerri willis and this is "the willis report," the show where consumers are our business >> we will get justice for freddie gray. believe you me we will get justice. we'll do it because we will work together. gerri: and tomorrow it is decision day for college, perspective college students. we'll tell you what you need to know. a warning about a scam targeting your credit card security code. how criminals are getting access to that magic three digit number. all that and more coming up tonight on "the willis report." gerri: new details tonight in the death of freddie grey.
5:01 pm
baltimore's a-fc affiliate reporting that the medical examiner that freddie gray died as a result of slamming his head against the inside of a police van breaking his neck. the sources are citing the baltimore police report given to the city's chief prosecutor today but it won't be released to the public as previously thought. fox is working to confirm that report. we don't have it yet. this is wabc affiliate giving this information. of course cities across the country now bracing for more protests tonight including this rally kick off in fill definitely about an hour ago. here to weigh in, michael good win, chief political columnist for "new york post" and fox news contributor and chris stirewalt, digital politics he had for fox news. chris, i'll start with you. this report coming out just moments ago, breaking news, it may not come as huge surprise to people following the story but i wonder what you make of it? >> what i make of it, for a city with a reputation as bad as the city government of baltimore it
5:02 pm
probably doesn't matter much exactly what the findings of this report are. this is an incremental step because you and i both know, we all know, that before this is done federal authorities are going to have to investigate this. this will have to be started over before there is any answer that will satisfy anybody on either side of this. gerri: michael, let me tell you what i think makes a big difference, the fact that this report was not made public. i think that the fact it has taken so long for any information to dribble out is astonishing and i understand, why people are angry about it. your reaction? >> i agree, gerri. i think the police have handled just about everything as badly as they could, from the initial silence on what actually happened during the arrest and after the arrest. i mean why why he died. what injuries he suffered and when to the actual polices of the riots, particularly on monday. so i think that what you're seeing in baltimore is a bad situation made worse by bad
5:03 pm
government. gerri: so, chris, we are finding out too, that there was additional stop that was made by this police van one we never heard about before. this information just being leaked out, a fourth stop. we don't know why it was. apparently they got this video from a store owner in the area who just happened to get pictures of it. chris, how do you think this fits into the puzzle? the way it fits into the puzzle is to michael's point and yours, talking about breach of trust you're talking about in this case a void of trust and credibility, when you have leaks that further reinforce the worst claims, when you have mistrust like this, given opportunity to think the worst people are going to think the very worst and this will reinforce those deep deep skepticisms. gerri: michael, to you, the mayor of baltimore this afternoon making some very strong statements about how freddie gray's death would be avenged. it was an odd tone i thought for a mayor to take.
5:04 pm
what was your reaction to her comments? >> i think she has been odd throughout this whole situation. i mean her statement which she denied which was caught on tape, that gave the protesters space to destroy, if that is what they wanted. there is this ringing report fox and others reported, she ordered the police to stand down. watching what happened particularly on monday, somebody gave the police the order to stand down. the police stood down. they didn't do it on their own. i just think this is all part of a system gerri, i think when you look at what make as city work. the actual governance of a city, one thing to campaign one thing to talk big, to talk in code really to a lot of the audience but when it actual, when the rubber meets the road in a crisis, the wheat and chaff are quickly separated. the mayor of baltimore looks like the chaff. gerri: those are strong words. chris we're talking about
5:05 pm
stephanie rawlings-blake. she is the mayor of baltimore. she is also a high-ranking official in the democratic national committee, very important democrat. i want you to talk to me a little bit about the hollowing out of balt more. people think about it as nation's 20th biggest city. in fact the population declined 36% since 1980. they had a loss of manufacturing jobs, this is city impoverished city. you get a block away from the major tourist attractions you're in urban slum. what do you make of baltimore today? >> think about the policies hillary clinton in recent speech repudiated from her husband's administration, harsh interdiction from low level drug dealers with tough federal sentences to get them off the streets and put them behind bars for a long time. why was that deemed necessary? it was deemed necessary because of places like baltimore. body more murder land are turning into war zones in places
5:06 pm
like washington. the crack wars of the late '80s, early '90s, rendered these places unliveable, ungovernable murder zones. they put tough sentences in place. swept the streets. things got better. now things are getting worse again and getting worse again. gerri: hillary wants to double down easing sanctions. not putting people behind bars. voting for possibly more violence. michael to you. you are very familiar with large, urban cities. tonight we'll have more demonstrations. cincinnati philadelphia, friday, seattle, oregon oakland. what can we expect out of thi sems ke rctito ts gring. ot getng qietealtire stetsaye ls daerou buthe rt ofheount i in fames two pois, geri, frst cme. did pecehe oth day o baimor dhe cri atiics. balmoreas t 52-ek higst mderate t
5:07 pm
couny, bindomef the or thes tt chs mentione detroit, washington, et cetera and newark. and, if new york city had the as baltimore it would have over 3,000 murders this year. in fact it had about 330 murders. gerri: wow. >> the hurt rate per capita in cities like baltimore speak to a failed policing strategy even before these riots happened. so i think that, when we see the riots we see why they would happen in city like this where the police already retreated in many ways. they're not doing preventative policing. they're reacting to crimes only. i think that applies to the demonstrations too. if police departments around the country let these protesters, who, you know, many ways, they have a right to protest. and they have a drive vans they want to make noise about. that is -- a grievance.
5:08 pm
when they damage other people's property or shut down highways and roads, we'll see which police departments respond to that, and which say let them blow off steam against law-abiding citizens. gerri: i agree with you but i think some of this might have been circumvented if the police department was more up front about what happened to freddie gray. now this dribble, dribble dribble of information isn't helping anyone. great job guys. fascinating conversation. i wish we had more time. great to have you here. >> thank you gerri. >> you bet. gerri: in other news tonight the national highway traffic safety administration saying it wants more consumers to get their recall cars repaired. makes sense. guess what? they have their work cut out for them, ford is issuing four new recalls. 2004 for the fusion was recalled three times in the past week alone. joining me right now, the car coach lauren fix. good to see you. tell me what ford models are affected and what are the problems?
5:09 pm
>> some are current 2013 and 2015 ford fusions and lincoln mkzs. some are door latches. some are fuel pumps. in some cases like a parking light brighter than it should be based on regulations by the department of transportation. gerri: let me tell you something here we have to show it in a scroll. there are some recalls. >> i know. >> can't put it in one full screen. ford fusion, that that is a bunch of recalls for a bunch of different things. you intimated some of the other things are important. fusions are. >> not as critical. fusion recalls are pretty aggressive. attachment to a door latch is obviously pretty critical, that keeps you in the vehicle. the vehicle itself, has to do with all the plants. plant in michigan one in ontario and one in mexico. these different plants, the fusion a car one of their flagship cars. they sell many of them. gerri: well, now that is interesting because i was wondering what kind of roll that
5:10 pm
fusion model played? who are they trying to get to buy that? is that an entry level buyer they're hoping graduates to more ford cars over time? >> yeah. gerri: not just the latch. it is also steering. it is also other -- fuel pump as well. these are things that are critical. now you're telling me very car you're hoping first-time buyers is -- >> first-time buyer most likely be a fiesta or focus. when you're looking at a lincoln, talking about someone a little more affluent. the fusion is mid-range buyer. 30 to 45-year-old, talking about, demographics wise. but the vehicle more popular vehicle, when you're looking at what ford has done based on these particular problems. one is a door latch. one is a coating on a fuel pump plugging up one incident. some have no incidents. they're extremely proactive. gerri: my view on this, you need to get the car fixed. >> absolutely. gerri: i don't want to dissuade people getting car fixed that
5:11 pm
these are unimportant. if door stays close this is problem. let's move on. >> putting pressure on all manufacturers, even littlest thing needs to be address. gerri: okay. move on to that nits sachs national highway safety traffic administration. they are trying to put pressure on ceos of these companies to get them fixed. at the end of the day really consumers have to do that, right? >> consumers report it. that is how they get information. dealers report we're having trend of this particular problem. but the manufacturer, their responsibility listen, we're having a problem. we're seeing a trend. let's be proactive rather than waiting so we don't have ignition switch problem where we are having some serious issues. that is the responsibility of manufacturers. because of the way things were run previous to that, a lot of stuff, we'll worry about it. take care of it case-by-case. gerri: new head of nhtsa. >> will be very heavy-handed. gerri: national highway safety traffic administration. i think what the is interesting
5:12 pm
about this though, i don't think nhtsa has done enough. >> i agree. gerri: i wouldn't give rose kind a free pass not yet. i think entire organization is way too close to the industry. do you agree? >> i agree. people that used work for national highway traffic safety administration leave, end up working for manufacturers. they know how the system goes. they know how to beat the system. manufacturers are trying to do their job, nhtsa doing theirs, if you have a car more than 10 years old you're not addressed. left on your own. that is a problem. that is danger for consumers and drivers on the street. gerri: tell me where to go if i'm worried about recall. >> a full list supposed to go national highway safety traffic administration or safer car.gov. they don't have anything. cars.com i have nothing to do with, they have a full list bigger than the list from safer car.gov. sometimes dealer doesn't know.
5:13 pm
gerri: you're kidding. >> print it out this car is under recall. i want to get it fixed now. don't waste your time i will get to it. gerri: if he don't have the part ask for a loaner? >> absolutely. gerri: lauren, thank you. >> thank you. gerri: we want to know what you think. has your car been recalled in past 12 months? have you thought about it? let us know. log on to gerriwillis.com. i will share results at the end of tonight's show. we have a business news alert for you. general motors spending nearly five 1/2 billion dollars improving u.s. factories over next year. the process will create 650 new jobs of the most of the money will be spread across plants in lansing, warren and pontiac michigan. still to come this hour, one millenial bucking stereotype and becoming a successful entrepreneur. d-day looming for high school seniors and parents. we have last minute advice on college admissions right after the break.

5:34 pm
legislation, she hopes it will be part of the senate to allow congress to review any nuclear deal with iran. that deal would lift economic sanctions against iran allowing it to sell an estimated million barrels of oil a day on world markets. senator says if you're going to lift what is in effect in embargo on those iranian oil sales, why can't the u.s. government lift its own on its own oil producers, who are now pumping almost record amounts of oil. i asked her today what the impact of this change could be for american consumers. >> this is not a proposal that has just come lightly. this is something that i have requested studies deep analysis for the past -- almost year and a half now. and every study that has come out has confirmed that when we
5:35 pm
allow for increased domestic production and allow for that sale on the world market, it reduces the price globally and will reduce the price to the consumers here in the united states. >> so what could translate into lower gas prices at the pump. >> translates to lower gas prices at the pump, obviously helps to build more jobs here in the united states, helps our economy helps our balance of trade, and it allows us to use one of or resources as a strategic asset in the geopolitical context on what is happening in the world right now. >> but many lawmakers are worried that if they approve this and oil prices were to rise sharply again some day it could mean higher gas prices at the pump, which could anger constituents and the embargo a lightning rod in

founder and ceo eric schiffer to talk about the results. eric we use this as a way to look into the consumer's mind. because if anybody knows how consumers are doing it's visa and here's what the ceo had to say. here's what he said about consumers and their spending. he said consumer spending continues at a reasonable level, but he is he adds it's not rising dramatically, not rising much. what do you think of that? is that a surprise to you? >> well, hi, gerri, i think it's reallian the surprise right now. i think what's happening is the lower gasoline prices, what it's in effect doing is causing people to pay down some of their debt, it's also causing people to save. when you really look at the numbers with what visa showed, what it really shows is a lot of growth, but growth overseas, so 11% in terms of transactions overseas. right after the earnings, they actually lowered their guidance for the rest of the year down to the lower part of
5:41 pm
the teens. so it suggests right now that you've got a consumer that's overall positive but taking back some of that money putting it away, perhaps for santa . gerri: well, what i do is think fascinating is that americans would actually pay down debt and save money. what is causing this changed behavior? >> you know, i think ever since the big financial crisis, people have wised up. i think you have a much salvier consumer. people cannot predict the future like they used to be able to before, so they're preparing. there are a lot of mixed reports as whether the economy is going to do well or whether it's not the. will the fed raise the rates or not, so they're cautious, they're cautious in this global environment where they know things are over leveraged as it is. consumers are smarter than ever before thanks to shows like yours, and they're on
5:42 pm
going . gerri: well, to your point because i think you're right about this economy. the atlanta came out and said the first quarter would be a disaster they turned out to be right in terms of gdp and now the second quarter isn't looking so rosie either. >> it's true . gerri: so their forecast is . 0 9 percent, maybe two years in a row where economic growth does not break 3%. how do you see it? >> i see it very similar to that. i do think though, that things will improve. i think it will likely happen towards the end of the year. but, look, we came back from the period that, you know, happens once every 100 years . gerri: right. i hope you're right about that. >> i hope so too and i hope america is ahead of us and things will improve over this year. i really do . gerri: well, i want things to improve. i think that would be great. before you go, visa also
5:43 pm
announcing their committed to making their mobile services more secure. no surprise leer. everybody wants more security. no comment about penmanship, nothing of that, what's going on behind closed doors at visa. >> well, they're investing a lot of the money it's one of the reasons you saw the earnings down a little bit and they're rolling out this large-scale security system along with mastercard and others sometime in october and merchants have to be ready, merchants that are needing to make big investments, so what it means is less likely your card will be used against you that you're -- that your account will be stolen, which will help overall consumer purchasing and time. especially for those who don't like to purchase in certain circumstances, so i think it's a net good thing i'm glad they're doing it . gerri: it could help confidence too. thanks for coming on.

the card, we'll need the three digits or four digits on the back of your card just to verify you are the card holder. they think "oh well, here it is, now they have everything. they have your name, full card number that only you and the bank have. they have that and go make fake cards that look and work exactly like the one you have in your pocket . gerri: so they can go out and create new cards unds your name. is that what you're saying. >> well, the thing is you don't know yet that your information has been stolen. they do before they go out and make fraudulent performances. now that they have a fake card, they can use it online, in stores, and now you don't realize until after at any store you can imagine . gerri: you know, what's interesting about this and what i found astonishing, they can make it look like they're calling from the bank. is it convincing?
5:46 pm
>> yeah. it's actually really easy to make for a fraud to look like they're calling from any number. you can fake any number. it's legal to fake a number, but illegal for fraud so it's a gray area but yeah, anybody can make their phone to look like they're calling from bank of america or even if it's somebody calling from jamaica . gerri: ridiculous. i'm telling you these people are so smart. of course do not give that number on it by telephone. if you call the banks ulcer -- yourself don't do it over the phone. in the meantime at&t, there's a deadline coming up. what is it? >> yeah. it's this friday. it's the last day to file a claim online. it's ftc settlement at&t.com, it's a really long url but for about three years at&t mobile were both allowing
5:47 pm
third peters put these illegal charges for like -- gerri: something people might not even ordered. >> exactly. stuff as much as $10 a month for some people. and the ftc and the consumer financial protection bureau are both cracking down on this right now. there's a lawsuit pending against sprint as well . gerri: okay. but at the end of the chris, how much money am i going to get if i file on this. in your view, what's likely. >> it's going to depend on how many people are going to file. there's a limit of 80 million dollars maximum for whoever files, so that's going to be divided up and depending on how much you were scammed to begin with and even then, you know, according to the ftc at&t made hundreds of millions of dollars off this, so you're only going to get a fraction of what you were timely scammed out of . gerri: yeah, you're not going to get 80 million or 10, you're going to get change. >> yeah. probably a few cents
5:48 pm

the first espn is junkyard gents, and in it a family saved a collected car collection from potentially ruft it away for every and then turns into serious profit. >> in 2003 any brothers and sisters and i herniated something pretty unusual from my grandfather. his name was oliver jordan, and he died at 95. he was a child grandpa would hold onto knowledge everything that passed through his life, a tin can an automobile, a piece of copper wire. . gerri: he joins me now from san francisco to talk about his strange inheritance. stewart, welcome to the show. it's so good to have you here. we've enjoyed these stories so much. it's great to hear what's going on across the country with these inheritances, what's happened to you since the show. >> you know, it's been a very busy year, kind of closing up all of the stuff in oklahoma, put a lot of other things into motion with my family. the money has gone out there
5:53 pm
the money we did make is replenished, helped some of the family members in my lives, . gerri: seems like it has brought the family closer together. how are they doing? >> they're doing great. that was the surprise out of this thing it's almost like the car funded a ten-year family reunion, it was a nice chance to spend time with a lot of the people we might not have gotten to know, and a lot of the families that were there, are gone, so you can't buy those times back. we had a great time saving the cars . gerri: wow that's really amazing. so tell me, okay. you have the auction. what did you do with the money? were you satisfied with what you earned? >> you know, hindsight is 20/20, we had a great auction company, she came out and met with us several times before the auction to kind of process
5:54 pm
the cars. i think what we could have done differently is -- i don't think she expected how many parts we had. we had hundreds of thousands of parts and on the day of the auction as we started to pull those out, i think she was blown away.ult i don't think we allowed enough time, and we had to divide that auction into three auctions on that day, which of course hurt us. but i'm not -- i'm not regretting anything, we had great experiences. we did well, i got my money back and it's just an amazing spencer . gerri: yeah, from what i understand, there were lots of cars and also lots and lots of cars. tell us what didn't make it into the espn. what didn't we see. >> well, i think what people may not realize in the episode is that the reason i spent so much money saving the cars is that the cars weren't all in one location they were in five different locations and they were in buildings that were collapsing and so we actually to move all those cars and parts up to the location where we had the awnings over that
5:55 pm
ten-year period. we had to dismantle buildings and that's when the family came together to do all that work and it was no small task. but, you know, what do you do when you have a collection like that that was my grandfather's legacy and all these rare vehicles and parts which you just can't find anymore? so somebody had to step up to the plate and do it, and i felt the calling and sort of managed that. . gerri: amazing. tell me before you go. did you save anything for yourself? is there anything vintage car that spoke to you that you didn't to speak? >> well, there's the 19 24 roll in, i didn't keep any of the cars, but there is a special car that haves there's a story that kobe talks about when an 86-year-old woman turns up at the sale and it turns out one of the cars there that was wrecked in her grandfather's barn.
5:56 pm
her whole childhood, and that car was as much symbol in her family as all these cars were in ours. so that had a heart string thing to it, and i told the new owner of that car if he would ever like to sell it to call me because i would like to buy it back . gerri: thanks for coming on the show today. thank you. >> thank you gerri good luck catch stewart's episode tonight at 9:00 p.m. eastern time. we'll be right back
