single one of them. >> work gives you purpose? >> extremely yes yes. >> absolutely get something from the job. john: me, too. that's our show. see you next week. begins. "the willis report" is coming up next. lori: hello, everyone. i'm lori rothman in for gerri willis, this is "the willis report," the show where consumers are our business. tonight prosecutors in baltimore calling the death of freddie gray a homicide, and charging one of the six officers involved with murder. warren buffett hosting annual "weekend with warren" in omaha, and our own liz claman is there she'll join us live with the preview. elon musk charged up witholar powered home batteries. it will change the world? in a show about billionaires, george soros in hot water for billions he reportedly owes the irs. why he's being called a hypocrite? plus why companies are not

doing more to keep you and your information safe from hackers. all that and much more on "the willis report," where consumers are our business. okay, criminal charges in the death of 25-year-old freddie gray. six officers have been charged the officer driving the van carrying gray charged with murder. the state's attorney for baltimore making the announcement one day after the police department handed in its investigation report. >> the findings of our comprehensive thorough and independent investigation coupled with the medical examiner's determination that mr. gray's death was a homicide, which we received today, has led us to believe that we have probable cause to file criminal charges. >> yes! >> that was maryland state's attorney breaking news. this is the father of freddie gray let's listen. >> because this city needs to get back to work. last thing that freddie would want is to see the hard-working

people of baltimore lose their jobs and businesses because of his death. you all know that would totally defeat the purpose of what we are trying to work towards. remember without justice there's no peace. but let us have peace and the pursuit of justice. thank you. >> today is a momentous step on the road to justice for freddie. in losing freddie, the gray family has been put through real hell. one can only imagine the tremendous pain and suffering that this family has endured.

for the past loss of a son and the sister's loss of a brother. freddie was taken too early and too horrifically. and the worst of the gray's family days in the history of this family have been the last three weeks. today has given the gray family a measure of hope. we thank the state's attorney and her team for their unprecedented courage and their measured and professional response to this crisis. they have our gratitude in their pursuit of justice. lori: and that was the attorney for freddie gray's family billy murphy. speaking before that freddie gray's father saying let us have peace during the pursuit

of justice. erin ehrlich is an attorney and mercedes colwin. >> amazing they charged the officers differently. they charged the driver with depraved indifference a murder charges, and the others of involuntary manslaughter or even assault. lori: are you saying the charges were improper or too harsh? >> a little too hard on the driver. almost as if the prosecutor assumed the driver should have known there was an incident happening in the back of a van. that's a very big charge for the driver. not so much for the others. >> interesting you brought up this this goes to the point we don't know what happened. it's a big giant question mark. lori: explain to our viewers why we do not have access to that report? >> you know, the prosecutor doesn't have to release that information to us. there could be a myriad of reasons why a prosecutor may not provide us with the police

reports. it may have to do with the very serious public outcry that's gone on in baltimore. i think whatever the results of those investigations are it could potentially be even more inflammatory. lori: so marilyn mosby the state's attorney people commended her actions for coming out with these charges so swiftly, and then later this afternoon we heard from the baltimore police union saying we basically stand by the officers and they didn't do anything wrong. so initially after mosby spoke a lot of people were hopeful that it would quell the unrest. where do you think we stand with the status the mood, the climate in baltimore? >> great points. certain that everyone was waiting for something to be done formally. just as you would ask the question earlier. we don't know what happened to freddie gray we know spinal cord was severed and happened while he was transport.

everyone in the publicsumed had to have happened during the transport, at the hands of the police. with the culpable party they were looking for formal charges to be rendered. lori: erin looking live at pictures of baltimore, people are obviously assembled there. it looks civilized right now. do you think we've seen the worst of the unrest? i know that's a tough question to answer given the politics that happened today, where are we now? >> i would hope so. the public really neds to be awar thi ieryong ro ahd fmndimento tualy bng cvict as glty. haveryong roahe us. but hopefully the public will see this as the first step, and it is the necessary step to move forward in the judicial process. for them to hopefully see justice for freddie gray for the police to see vindication. lori: how do you see this unfolding here? i remember the rodney king trial, that ended in terrible rioting in south los angeles

south central. >> we can't get a fair trial here, you can't have the officers have the pool of individuals come forward and be a jury for us. can't happen. change of venue. unlikely they will get a change of venue. have 24 and panel 12. lori: have you lesser charges for each officer involved. they'll be charged separately? >> tried separately for sure, and i believe the big big conflict people are talking whether there is a conflict with the state's attorney with the fact she's got connection to -- >> erin, there is a suggestion to bring in a separate prosecutor because i think it is billy murphy who was a mentor to marilyn mosby. >> he certainly was a contributor to her campaign. that along the with fact that her husband is a baltimore county councilman. so there are conflicts but ultimately i think given the nature of the hazy

circumstances surrounding what happened to freddie gray what we know at this point, coupled with the fact that there's been this enormous public outcry. unfortunately the deck's stacked against the police at this point. they have to go on the defense and do tr very best to put forth whatever they can in order to vindicate. >> i want your takes whether or not we're seeing a conflict of interest with state's attorney. >> i think there might be. certainly be an outcry but unlikely it will affect. lori: will it affect the charges in stone? >> the charges there are, unless the prosecutor says we have to lower the charges. the driver has an extreme charge. >> we need to oorm oo sorry to interrupt. as much as she can potentially fabricate probable cause, she can't fabricate guilt. they're going to be tried and get their day in court -- >> it is a developing story. ladies, thank you so much. appreciate your insight. >> thank you. lori: still a lot more to come this hour including a big

announcement from tesla on a product for your home. and next it's being called the fight of the cently but mayweather v. pacquiao is one of many big sporting events this week. we'll preview it all and get your reaction.

when cigarette cravings hit, all i can think about is getting relief. nicorette mini starts to relieve sudden cravings fast. anytime. anywhere. i never know when i'll need relief. that's why i choose nicorette mini. the real question that needs to be asked is "what is it that we can do that is impactful?" what the cloud enables is computing to empower cancer researchers. it used to take two weeks to sequence and analyze a genome; with the microsoft cloud we can analyze 100 per day. whatever i can do to help compute a cure for cancer, that's what i'd like to do.

. lori: the businesses are focused on berkshire hathaway as it reports first quarter results, just a moment ago, the big walkup to the shareholder meeting celebrating the oracle of omaha's 50th anniversary. liz claman joining us live from omaha and kicks off signature "weekend with warren." hi liz. >> hey, lori. the breaking news is berkshire hathaway came out with earnings. i'm going to look down. they are breaking right now. first quarter operating profit jumping 20%. first quarter profit of 5.16

america west coast is stagnant, horrible drought. east coast has problems. in middle america in our store in omaha and kansas city, des moines and dallas, we're doing terrific business. the housing markets are strong as can be, in my own neighborhood, selling in a matter of days because of where we are in the heartland. and we are going to come through this just fine. >> what's better? the renter's market or the housing market as you see it? >> well both of them. millennials don't want to buy houses like their parents did. they want to do their own thing but it's still a very solid market. people are moving to omaha. a good place to do business it's a good place to live with your family. >> you guys are opening a brand-new store in texas that will be bigger than any ikea on the planet, right? gigantic. >> several times the size of ikea. we have one right up the road from us. we do our own thing. we have furniture, flooring appliances, electronics, 568000 feet of retail.

eastern on monday night for warren buffett's america. we're going to put the shareholder weekend together into one big gigantic package and it's a backstage pass for all of our viewers. tune in 8:00 p.m. eastern on fox business. lori? back to you in new york. lori: thank you so much liz. look forward to that. from one big weekend event to another actually several, this is the ultimate weekend for sports fans. from football to golf, there's an event for everyone. main event is boxing match between floyd mayweather and manny pacquiao. the fight of the century bringing in a heavyweight of money. the revenue alone from pay-per-view expected to hit 300 million. here with your guide to this sporttacular weekend, mike hill, host of fox sports one's pregame. good to see you. >> already a buzz in the arena. lori: is this really the fight of the century? what was the last major

fighting event? >> i think you have to go back to maybe evander holyfield-mike tyson. lori: is that where he bit his ear? >> say it again? lori: is that the event where tyson -- >> yeah, when tyson bit his ear. we used to have the mega fights, once a year we had evander holyfield taking on mike tyson, mike tyson going against razor redick this is the only bout in boxing that really matters. lori: why has it taken five years to get two headlineers in the ring? >> that's the question everybody wants to know. people saying floyd mayweather was ducking manny pacquiao for all years. didn't want to see his record blemished. he doesn't have losses in the loss column and manny pacquiao was the biggest threat to his legacy. after five years after all negotiations, after the back

and forth between showtime and hbo they had different promotional rankings that was going on as well. there was a lot of red tape in the way of this finally coming to fruition. after all this time tomorrow they get in the ring to get it on. lori: mayweather 104 million in earnings just last year? it's astounding. mike let me ask you this for those people who aren't close boxers of boxing. if you want to sound informed. husband is having guys over to watch the fight. what are key things to know about each fighter? >> i will say with floyd mayweather, he is a technician a tactician, a lot of people look at floyd mayweather and say he's boring, not a good fighter. he's a boxer. when you talk about boxers you are not talking about somebody knocking somebody out. he's one of the best defensive boxers of his generation for sure maybe the best defensive boxer of all-time. he goes in there and he's

masterful with the gloves. he's like a surgeon. when it comes to manny pacquiao, he's a little more loose he's a little more loosey goosey punching power, goes up and down, he's the winner of eighta championships in eight different weight classes. nothing done like that in the history of boxing. these are the two best boxers of their era and finally getting in the ring together. lori: mike seems like the real winner is las vegas and all the dough coming to town. >> yeah, well there's a lot of people. jay-z is going to come to down tom brady may be here. there's going to be heavy hitters. one of the things you're watching for $99 on pay for view, if you have that kind of money watch in the luxury of your own home. you want to see who's in the crowd. who the a-list celebrities are. you are going to find who the true a-list celebrities are. these tickets are going up to

$300,000 for ringside seats. incredible. lori: what? >> never seen anything like this before. lori: $300,000? wow. >> yes! for a 36-minute bout. it could go 36 minutes. lori: or three seconds, right? >> i doubt if it goes three seconds. it could go between three minutes and 36 minutes, that is the investment you have to put in there is for the atmosphere but once again $99, if you want to watch it in the luxury of your own home. lori: and it's going to be late on the east coast. >> you can invite people over and charge them admission, if i was doing it for $99. i would be charging admission, you might make some money if you did it that way. lori: perfect interview for the fox business network mike. thank you for joining us. >> all right thank you. lori: check out fox sports one at 11:00 eastern for live fight coverage. guest will be evander holyfield and shane moseley. here's our question tonight --

. lori: it already makes fancy electric cars tesla wants to

power your home. elon musk unveiling the line of industrial home and battery packs, ambitious move out of the electric car market. >> it gives you basic security and a complete and affordable solution, and the cost is $3500. lori: well should home owners rush to buy the battery packs? we're asking a tech expert and ceo of wearables.com. great to have you with us. what do you think? it will get traction? battery powered homes? >> first of all, thanks for having me lori. i think we'll see traction. presently you can only reserve or preorder the power walls. they're still slated to come out in the summer of 2015 business have to wait longer than that. tesla said they'll make a bigger push into the business market, industrial market in 2016. we'll see traction a lot of people, the majority of the consumer market is going to wait to see what the data says all about cost savings.

a huge portion. huge might be expansive. a number of people will jump on this to be part of the tesla movement. most consumers will wait what the data says. lori: is it truly practical to go this route, to get batteries to power your home versus tapping into the old electricity grid. if you do the math, it's $3500 for one 10 kilowatt battery which only gives you 10 hours of power. you can get nine batteries and stack them up. that's going to set you back over $31,000 but you get 90 hours of power. that doesn't include the cost of installation and other tools you need to get up and running. so is it really cost effective in the end? >> yeah that's a great question. you know stacking nine batteries that would be a substantial home i think. tesla has come up and said it's not about completely taking off the grid. that is possible. it's more so about shifting

that energy load shift which is a term they use which means it charges during nonpeak hours when electricity is cheaper and it is meant to reduce costs overall. it's about do you have enough energy storage in that capacity of the 10 kilowatt hour than if you run straight from the grid? lori: interesting point. people who dealt with power outages in their homes, in the east coast, we had hurricane sandy and practically here in the new york tristate area people were out more than a week you look at something like this. this is a fantastic solution, when you see the short battery times usage times, it's kind of a buzz kill actually. i understand what you're saying, the solar power can recharge them, is it a practical solution to a generator? >> sure, so what you said is a huge point. it's both a battery, there is

something about security in case there is a natural disaster or even a traditional blackout where you need that power your house never actually goes off that energy source but there is also the sense of you got to ask yourself am i using this because i want to be safe or using it because i want to lower my energy bill? this is trying to change the entire energy infrastructure of the u.s. that is a massive undertaking, and traditionally when you try to do something that big, the initial costs are high so i wouldn't be surprised if the data comes back saying it's higher than we expected but over time if you get the adoption rate, this is good not just for renewable energy sources it's good for the grid if energy is stored and discharged in a more intelligent fashion. it's really cool technology. the question is how does it interact with the existing grid technology? are you using this because you want to be safe? do i want to lower bills? do i have a tesla already? do i like elon musk.

a lot of questions you have to answer. lori: keep up with this interesting to see where it goes. luis, thank you so much. coming up, the ceo of nutri/system joins us with a look at her company. what's in store for the future? and next he's called for raising taxes on the wealthy but turns out george soros may not have been paying his own taxes. tell you about that too, after the break. do you want to know how hard it can be to breathe with copd? it can feel like this. copd includes chronic bronchitis and emphysema. spiriva is a once-daily inhaled copd maintenance treatment that helps open my airways for a full 24 hours. spiriva helps me breathe easier. spiriva respimat does not replace rescue inhalers for sudden symptoms. te youdoct if u ha kiey pblem glaucoma, trouble urinating, or an enlarged prostate. these may worsen with spiriva respimat. discuss all medicines you take even eye drops. if your breathing suddenly worsens,

. >> welcome back to the willis report, in a moment shocking news on billionaire but first some of the stories in the news today. two former allies have been entitled on their charges relate to the role in created the political motivated traffic jams on the washington bridge in 2013, by former port

authority executive who bleated guilty today and could face two years in prison. nepal officials are asking donors to send tents and tarps along with grain assault and sugar. they've been getting things, like tune fish and main -- ending the week on a high note, bouncing back from a major selikoff today. this is optimism about the job market in april to its highest, second highest level since the start of the great recession. and the u.s. navy is accompanied four american flagships moving through. officials say the four ships in civilian crews carried cargo for navy ships. this new policy came after iran's naval vessel fired warning shots they really week and detained its crew. those were some of the stories in the news.

>> he's the one who has been calling from the rich to pay more in taxes but reports say himself has been delayed paying a wopping 1.67 billion dollar payment for years and it's all thanks to a loophole in the u.s. law. of the heritage foundation. thanks so much joining me. so here's a guy who has been asking for the wealthy to pay more than their fair share of taxes, how does he owe almost 7 billion dollars in taxes? >> well, i think if you look up the word hypocrite in the addiction dictionary, you'll find his anymore in it. there were hedge fund investors that deployed when they reininvestigated. that loophole was closed in 2008 remember the emergency economic stablization act that was the tarp bill, but a week before that law was

assigned in the law he transferred assets to ireland in order to avoid having to pay these taxes until 2017. so, you know, he thinks there should be more taxes on the wealthy to redistribute wealth in the country except for himself apparently . >> so you mentioned assets. do you know how much revenue is on almost 7 billion dollars in taxes? 13.3 billion dollars he moved on ireland. >> yeah. huge huge amount of money. and as you said, he's probably the biggest furnished of the progressive . >> is there any way he's going to be able to put this off and do this tap dance with the irs any longer? >> well, there's -- there's speculation that he might take a huge chunk of this and give

it in charitable contributions to, for example the open society foundation and others and use that to avoid paying taxes to the federal government. . >> so speaking of the irs just kind of as a sidebar here. >> right. >> in terms of the target of the conservative groups, any update there? >> well, unfortunately, you know, about a month ago as he left, the u.s. attorney for the district of columbia said he was not going to present to a grand jury. he didn't have a legal justification for doing that. we would hope the new attorney general, loretta lynch would reverse that decision, but i seriously doubt she's going to do that. . >> thank you so much. >> sure thing . >> thanks for the conversation. have a good night. when we return, why are more companies getting a handle on cyber security, and

ceo of one of the biggest weight loss companies is here to talk about newt system reports, and here's your consumer gauge. we'll be back

life begins with a howl, we scream shout, shriek with joy. until, inhibition creeps in our world gets smaller quieter, but life should be loud. sing loud, play loud, love loud. dentures shouldn't keep you quiet, life should be ringing in your ears. live loud, polident. good. very good. you see something moving off the shelves and your first thought is to investigate the company. you are type e*.

yes, investment opportunities can be anywhere... or not. but you know the difference. e*trade's bar code scanner. shorten the distance between intuition and action. e*trade opportunity is everywhere.

>> well, get this. 2014 is a year widely viewed as possibly the worst in data league history. there is a 23% increase in the data breaches compared to 2013 within exposing 3 15 million identities, and despite all that cyber security is not improving and it will only get worse from here. we're joined now the why aren't things improving? >> i think companies just aren't spending money for

security, and i think things like cyber insurance are making this problem worse. and when you look at some of the high profile data breaches, you know, some of these companies at the end of the day will lose maybe 100 200 million but when their annual revenues are in the 9 or 10 billion dollar ranges, it doesn't even phase them, it's just another company . >> so you're saying because companies can take out insurance, it's such a small loss that they just chalk it up to a insurance coverage. >> yeah. and part of it is, you know, it could just be another line item on their budget like, shoplifting, for example. i mean there are acceptable losses and well within a certain range and so they just accept them and move on . >> but the target breach was such a pr nightmare for the company, you know, the company even blamed that on a sales drop-off the following quarter. so there's that. >> true . >> and that has to have a big significance in motivating ceos in corporate america to get on the ball of this.

>> yeah. i would think so. i think the numbers for target were 2- 300 million dollars loss and it certainly is a hit, but it's not the end of the world for them. they can survive. and one of the things that i think companies just aren't doing right now and they're not being proactive and one of the things that he could do as we saw with tesla, for example, they're opening their cars up to hackers at a security conference. they're smart enough to say hey, we know we don't know everything about security, so we're going to open it up to the hackers and have you guys find it out for us. that's brilliant. >> guess what, strategy. i'm glad you brought that up. when you're talking about companies being proactive cyber security is to be relevant stocks soared, coming in much better than expected and the company pointed to increased demands from companies that have been hacked sony, target, again all in an effort to beef you

up security. so when you say companies aren't being proactive and we have the evidence that they're trying at least a little bit by spending more money what more needs to be done? >> well, i mean it's just that. i mean they're contacting as an example they maybe contacting a company like fire eye -- or after the breach has occurred. so when you talk about anthony tell me, you mention anthem, the cat is already out of the bag and now they're beefing up the security, and it obviously would have been a little bit more proactive at this particular time. >> absolutely. so tell me more about this hacking day that they're hosting and how much do you think the company will learn from seeing the hackers and their? will the defendant actually be able to fight the enemy by knowing their stricks trix? >> absolutely and it's not just a question of tricks, one thing you can never account for is one unknown factor of that one person coming up with such a great way of

circumventing and that's what they're doing so by wopping oping up one of the vehicles at one of the major security conferences, they're giving the world free rain to really try to hack the vehicle and someone will find something. i'm sure multiple people will. and that's the duty of it. they're going to disclose to found to tesla and these problems won't be there anymore. . >> thank you so much for joining us. >> thank you . >> good time to be in the weight loss business, with americans spending 33 billion dollars every year for weight loss programs and products. a lot of money up for grabs but with money comes competition, so how does a company stay afloat? just announcing a fantastic first quarter revenue of double digits of 12% better than your own forecast. how did you do it? >> well, it's our 7th consecutive revenue growth, so we're building on momentum, so

it's about bringing more customers into the brand bringing back existing customers and withstanding our channels, so our new deal with retail . >> you . >> so how specifically do you build momentum because i don't have to tell you how much competition there is. >> it really comes down to focus, so we're focused on data analytics helps us a lot we're an e commerce company it's all coming together. food science food. . >> do you think people sign up because they can order from the privacy of their own home. >> yeah. i think that works really well, we let the customers get the things in the privacy of their own home . >> there's obviously some market share to make up, the amount americans spend on wait loss services, 45% goes to weight watchers, and 14% goes to neutral system, how are you

going to make up that gap? >> i believe it's changing as we speak . >> okay. >> when we look added what the customers want be with we're really focused on products that meet customers where they are today and where they're going in the future. so it comes about food, fresh food frozen food . >> do you go down in certain socioeconomic backgrounds. >> yeah. we bring a lot of member to our brands so a lot of these brands are female oriented we're 25% men ask a lot of people like to do it together as a couple . >> there's societal push toward loving yourself. >> uh-huh. >> being who you are wayne bryant obviously has the i'm no angel campaign. >> love it . >> various soaps; right? dove, you see -- does that impact you at all or you say you love it, so how is newt system embracing that you don't have to be super skinny these days to be healthy. >> yeah. i don't think we're about super skinny, we're about healthy and what i like

about these new campaigns we're seeing women finally beginning to define themself what they think is their weight loss, and then once they decide, they come to newt system -- nutrisystem . >> hanks so much. >> still to come, a man's best friend transferring diseases from dogs to human. the latest c.d.c. report you'll want to hear

>> well, a rare out break of the playing affecting four people in colorado and it all started with a two-year-old pit bull. with more on this is emergency physician dr. brett. can doctor, thanks for coming

in. this really has never happened before where a person got sick after coming into contact with a dog, and not only sick, but new nonic playing. >> yeah. we see playing here less than 10 a year in the united states, and dogs are resistent to it, so they don't normally transmit it to the person, this is the first documented where the dog actually became ill and transmitted it to the owner . >> can you point your finger as to how that happened. >> that's the scary part of the equation here quarterback w be we don't know why this dog was susceptible, we just don't know . >> but people never get stuff from dogs. maybe cats, but it's always been thought that your dog was safe dogs sleep -- do we have to change our behavior around pets? >> this is such a rare anomaly, that i wouldn't go changing your behavior, i'm

still going to sleep with my cats and dogs tonight. . >> yeah, what i want to talk to you about the canine flu as well, you said that the out break is actually expanding now in chicago. >> right. so there's a stream of flu in chicago that we've never seen in the united states here. we've seen multiple other strains, one that has come from horses that adopted to infect dogs, and we've seen that here in the city, and it's ugly here, but we've never seen this particular strain which actually came from two-thirds asia. >> that's interest. so if you live in abenvironment like manhattan and your dog is in the dog park what do you need to do to protect your dog? >> it's just like the human flu and that if another dog is sneezing or causing and your dog is nose to nose, it can be very contagious. the good news is that about

80% will come down with a very very mild form, maybe low grade fever and that's about it. it's the other 20% that can become very ill. >> is there a vaccine for it yet? >> there's a vaccine for the first one, we don't know if there's cross activity with this nose one that has come out in chicago . >> so how likely is it that what's dog with chicago that this is actually going to spread to other major cities? >> in my opinion, i think it's only a matter of time we're going to see it here in new york . >> and will it continue to be light, this 80% these dogs bounce back or do you have to be more concerned that it could be the end. >> no. just like people it's the young and the older who are most at risk, so it's going to stay in that population . >> so as a pet owner you always hear about this, the first and last are the most expensive in the pet's life.

so is this something that pet insurance will cover? should you look to increasing your coverage because we're hearing of all these new illnesses out there now? >> i think pet insurance nowadays is fantastic it's a great idea while they're young, the premiums are lower and it does cover a lot of these illnesses. >> thank you so much for your expertise. i appreciate you coming in on a friday afternoon. we do want to hear from you. what are you planning on watching during the big sports weekend? here's what some of you are tweeting about our poll question. so cal rights in probably take a look at out of it. and jen says nothing exciting. but baseball in all caps. outback karen posts the duringy and nba playoffs. and here's bobby that said i would love to watch the fight my red wings were eliminated from the nhl playoffs.
