Transcripts For FBC The Willis Report 20150425

Regulation gone too far. A texas chef fined for feeding the homeless. They can cite me or arrest me. Gerri hell be here with an update on the case. Congratulations america you worked hard for this. Its tax freedom day. All this and more coming up on the willis report, where consumers are our business. Gerri selling our National Security to the highest bidder. That is the explosive charge tonight against a former president and a former secretary of state and, of course im talking about bill and hillary clinton. Its a story thats gotten bigger this week with the upcoming release of the book clinton cash which digs into a very murky world of the clinton finances. With us now wall street journal dan henninger. Thanks for coming on the show, dan, great to have you here. You know, at some point this is going to have to register in the polls, American Voters have to think about this and make decisions. Tonight show you numbers here. The fox news poll is asking are the clintons honest and trustworthy. 45 say yes. Seems like were starting to hear the distant echo on this story on voters minds . Yeah, the polls are one of the only metrics we have to measure whats going on out there. And john boehner said how she keeps this afloat for a year and a half is a good question. Gerri yeah. If the numbers believability or approval keep going south towards 40, the democrats are going to get really, really nervous. You cannot nominate somebody for president whose Approval Rating is down around 40 . Gerri this is unacceptable at this level is what you are saying. I have been transfixed by the story and the russian uranium deal, its not just buying influence its not just russians buying influence in washington. Its also a National Security issue at this point. How big of a deal is this part of the story . I think its pretty big, because it forces the government to react. The white house is trying to push back and say they havent seen anything that raises these any of these issues to the level where they should see something illegal going. That is the clintons basic response. This is the uranium sale that forces the government address and express an opinion and you start pulling on the line, i think like a cat. The clintons did not want to go there where you have the government beginning to ask questions. We have a special on this coming up, bret baier will have a special on fbn at 6 00 p. M. This is Peter Schweizer and new book with bret baier. The central question . The question which schweizer investigated was about how so many of these deals seem to come back at some point to the clintons . What quickly became apparent to many people if you wanted a contract if you wanted to do business in haiti, you had to have relationships with the clintons. That was absolutely key. Reporter the company that cleaned up on the cell phone transfers was digicell. They took in 50 Million Dollars in revenue in haiti. Reporter digicell is run by irish billionaire dennis obrien, who set up lucrative speeches for bill clinton as well as donating millions of his own money to the clinton foundation. And one company that got a rare gold permit was vcs mining which doesnt have much mining experience but would soon have Hillary Clintons brother tony rodham on its board. Gerri its company after company after country after country at what point do the democrats say this is not working . I think thats exactly the question. What point will the democrats say weve got to pull the plug on this. What you have heard described as something that republican activists call crony capitalism a word that is supposed to be verb oaten. This is the definition of crony capitalism. Group that is upset and youre going to see activated very soon is the democratic left. The progressives remember, the progressives in 2008 supported barack obama in defeeding the clinton machine, right . They arent really they do not admire bill and hillary clinton. This is going to upset them a lot. And i think theyre going to get active and start look at the alternative. Gerri there are signals of that already. I want to show you interesting numbers. Once hillary went to the state department bills speak fees went through the roof. Take a look at number. Before she was secretary of state and after his presidency was earning 150000. Nothing to sneeze at right . Once shes in the obama administration, it ramps up to 750,000. Nearly a Million Dollars for a speech. Does that tell you something . Ive seen speaking fees, and thats unusual. Doesnt survive the smell test. The problem with the clintons is they see no bright lines anywhere, its just all a blur and it all falls to their bottom line. And they keep arguing theres nothing illegal here. I dont think the average American Voter standard of proof is whether its literally illegal. Gerri if you can prove. They keep saying you cant prove we were trying to bilk money out of countries and companies while hillary was at the state department. Theyre saying you cant prove. That nae not the point at all, right . That is absolutely not the point. Gerri the appearance of impropriety is so overwhelming they think a lot of people will never get past it. I think the clintons do not fully understand how overwhelming its becoming. They lived back in the 1990s when the media was simpler. Have you twitter facebook, social media, blogs the program were going to see on fox it exponentially metastasizes and the truth is not part of the plan. Gerri it reinvents the smell test, i think, dan. Thats the way i see it. Thank you for coming on. Good to see you today. Thank you gerri. Gerri we want to know what you think. Heres our question tonight ill share the results at the end of tonights show. Also a programming note for you coming up tomorrow, i mentioned this before tomorrow night at 6 00 p. M. Eastern time bret baier will be hosting a special looking into the tangled clinton web all on this topic tomorrow night on the Fox Business Network. News from the republican side of the 2016 race. New jersey governor Chris Christies wife has left her job at a wall street hedge fund. What does that mean . Our own Charlie Gasparino broke the news first on fox business. A spokesman for Christies Office says mary pat resigned at Angelo Gordon and company to spend more time with the family. You got to think, maybe hes running for president. Shed probably quit that job, right . Okay. Moving on. Now a news alert for consumers. Were getting to that comcast and time warner deal which famously blew up today. Ive got pete pashal from mashable to talk about that. I have to tell you, i have never seen anything implode as quickly as that did. What was the operative here . What did you make of it . And take into consideration these are two of the most hated companies in america . Probably taken into account by a lot of people. Yeah, this was an interesting unraveling. At some point the tide turned and i think we can look back to last falls that moment when president obama came out very much in favor of net neutrality. He didnt cite this deal specifically. You could tell which side he was coming down. On that embolden the fcc to come out with the rules on net neutrality. And in the wake of all this gerri lets cut to the chase here what happened . Well, comcast decided to pull the plug on taking over time warner which would have led to a mega cable company. Gerri heres what were talking about, the combined company would have controlled 30 of the Pay Tv Market 57 of the highspeed market. 57 of the highspeed market. Thats very big, of course. A staggering number. Gerri you say thats unacceptable. I have a question for you. Arent these two gullivers uniting at the end of their lives as they jump on them with different ways, sling tv hulu, you name it to get tv the way you want it . Thats one way to look at it. The other way is that the cable industry and Cable Companies havent had a lot of competition until now. And now theyre worried gerri thats exactly what im saying, all these little companies eating their dinner, and even though they continue to raise prices up 5 this year alone for the average cable customer, look can they survive in their existing form . You know, it was a big gulliver, i think the Cable Companies will be able to exist and thrive for a while. Its the little guys we need to be more worried about. And they are innovating and they are running scared. Google fiber, better performance, better customer satisfaction. Sling tv hbo now appealing to the younger demographic who want the things cheaper and a la carte. Gerri charter not as big as comcast now making a bid for time warner. Now its interesting because they will not obviously make a company as large as what time warner and comcast would have been, and i wonder whats the reaction in washington . Can they get that deal through . A better chance because the scale wont be anywhere near as large and i think that was the main problem here do you trust a company to have more than 50 of Broadband Access in america . That will be the key question. There will be an easier time with. Charter, it doesnt make Financial Sense because time warner hasnt been having the greatest Earnings Report the last couple of years. Can charter when they initially tried to make the bid wasnt attractive to them. They were very, very wide apart on stock price if charter can make it work, it can pass the regulator phase. Gerri long way to go. Thats for sure. And were going to continue to watch. This pete thank you very much for coming on the show. Good to see you. Youre welcome. Gerri a lot more to come including the daughter of the r in h r block. Minnesota declares a state of emergency over bird flu. Should we be doing something to protect ourselves and our family .

Gerri the bird flu outbreak is escalating and taking a toll on poultry farms. Minnesota hit forcing the governor to call for a state of emergency. With more on this is the founder of gainer integrative oncology and author. Dr. Mitch gainer, good to you have on the show dr. Mitch. Lets talk about the bird flu. Minnesota in a state of emergency. 16 states have incidences of this. I believe two have declared a state of emergency. What are the issues for humans at this point . Well right now, theres not a huge issue for humans but it is worrisome in the sense that this is brought in by waterfowl from asia. It was actually first seen in canada and british columbia, and theyre droppings have infected flocks in numerous states, but its not highly transmissible to humans. Gerri to humans. Whats the worry for us ultimately . Is it livestock being infected and they have to be killed or what . Thats the major issue because its very, very deadly to chickens, to turkeys. About 3. 8 million have had to be slaughtered so far. They die relatively rapidly but the h5n2 is very different from the previous one, the h5n1 which is more contagious and workers in this country have not contracted the bird flu from this strain ja what do we need to be doing if anything because of the massive rate of infection . The major thing is hope for warmer weather spring weather. That should slow actually the spread of the virus, and also, i think the farmers are being very conscientious, you cannot get bird flu from eggs or cooked chicken. I think the risk to humans is relatively low. Theyre offering tamiflu for workers but nobodys contracted it yet. Gerri all right, well, you know, weve got the bird flu going on, there is also listeria out there. We talked about blue bell last week. Jenis splendid ice cream. How big a threat is listeria, that is a threat for humans. The listeria is much more of a threat. Listeria is a bacteria and its mainly a threat to pregnant women very Young Children and immunocompromised adults such as those with hiv or on chemotherapy. But the listeria has already been associated with three confirmed deaths. 10 people have been sickened by it and not usually found in ice cream. Freezing, its not able to grow. This is a bit more worrisome. Gerri bit more worrisome and concerning tell me about the symptoms i may face if i ingest the listeria bacteria and what i should do if i exhibit the symptoms . The major people that need to worry about it again are pregnant women. Most of the really serious side effects happen to either during pregnancy because it can be transmitted to the fetus and the feet us can be born with severe listeriosis which is often fatal. Elderly people can get diarrhea, flulike illness fever occasionally you need an antibiotic for it. Most times for somebody like yourself, you just have very mild symptoms may not notice them. Gerri if youve got a young child or older person or pregnant woman in the household you have to be super careful right, doc . Absolutely. Gerri we will pray for the warmer weather for many reasons. Thank you so much. And later in the show, its tax freedom day but first, she is the daughter of the r in h r block and had her own share of money troubles. Barbara shares her story coming up. Every truck can tow a boat. Every truck can climb a hill. Every truck can haul a trailer. But not everyone can say theyre the fastestgrowing truck brand in america. Guts. Glory. Ram. You can call me shallow. But, i have a wandering eye. I mean, come on. National gives me the control to choose any car in the aisle i want. I could choose you. Or i could choose her if i like her more. And i do. Oh, the silent treatment. Real mature. So you wanna get out of here . Go national. Go like a pro. 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, thats what id like to do. Gerri my next guestr in h r block. You think money would be no problem for her, she ended up owing a Million Dollars to the irs. Shes written six financial books. Latest success is sacred success a course in financial miracles. With us now is Barbara Stanny. Good to have you here. Great to be here. Gerri what was it like growing up in the household of somebody who founded h r block. Did he teach you a lot about money . The onl advice my father gave me about money is dont worry. Gerri really . I thought it was great advice. Gerri which is reassuring but not useful. Under the words is the unspoken assumption there will always be a man to take care of me. There always was, him and my husband who was a lawyer and became a certified Financial Planner and a stockbroker. Gerri that didnt work out so well. Tell us about your husband and what happened. You came to the marriage with a lot of assets. I did. And he was a compulsive gambler and i found out early in our marriage he was gambling the money away. Heres the insane part i continued to let him manage it. Thats how terrified and intimidated i was by anything financial. Gerri why would you be so terrified if you had grown up around it . Like water to a fish, it was always there. I didnt understand it. I knew he was doing it my husband. They found theres another form of Domestic Violence that is just as bad as physical and emotional thats financial abuse, and he was financially abusing me. He would talk in circles. I didnt understand it. He ran up credit in my name. He made me feel stupid and ignorant, and money terrified me. I thought money is something that smart people know. Gerri but not you. Thats so interesting. He did it for 20 years. Gerri you made a turn though, clearly. There was a point. What was the point you said this isnt going to work for me im going to stop this and change. After our divorce i decided money is not my thing, if you dont deal with your money, your money will deal with you, and i got tax bills for over a Million Dollars for backtaxes my exdidnt pay, for illegal bills, my signature was on everything. I didnt have a Million Dollars or close to it. My ex left the country. Gerri he left the country . Left the country. Gerri some people wouldnt it make it back through this. You did. What kind of reserves did you call onto come to grips with the trouble. And as a practical matter, how did you pay the Million Dollar tax bill . What happened. Those are a lot of questions in one. I knew i had to get smart. And my father wouldnt lend me the money but i had three daughters and one was a baby. I was not going to raise the girls in the street. I had to get smart and didnt know how i was going to do it but it was just the biggest coincidence. I was a journalist writing for the San Francisco business times, and i was asked to interview women who are smart with money, and those interviews changed my life. Gerri so you found some practical informat
