♪ double mocha. neil: 1.6 million cars. thirty-three crashes are the her teen deaths. welcome, everyone, i am neil cavuto. those are the major numbers. here is the most tragic one. that is how long gm has known about a switch problem in the chevy cobalt. ssrious enough to cut power to all safety systems including airbags. even before that, jim engineers were concerned about potential fatalities from this.

but only now is gm addressing this. it is taking them and in a second to jump all over toyota. so what do you think treo.with grief? maybe because we look the other way once one of our own for one of our union owned legislator one of our endangered. maybe because they would later need rescuing and toyota would just be needing a tongue lashing. for years gm got away with what look like murder. thirty-five dollars for it is missing a problem that could have killed her teen people. former national transportation safety had it that this is an only tragic but it's criminal. and no one ever intends to kill

people. that's never the intent. the clearly dragging its feet and addressing something that clearly was raises some culpability issues here. >> oh, absolutely. gm delayed for almost 10 years and doing it recall. it's hard to believe that they could do this for that long because they were in conversation with the national highway traffic safety and ration. way back in 2007 when the agency brought to their attention the debt that was caused by a failure of the syrian breaks and then even from 2007 to 2014, general motors did not. neil: it's always easy in some ways, this is 10 years after

that. and tenures which we were getting more indications from gm engineers. do you have any way to explain the difference in treatment that gm is getting now versus what toyota instantly got? >> i don't think there is that much difference. a careful crash occurred, people were begging for help. and that's when the national press acted up and toyota got sunk as it should have. neil: you are quite right about that. but i do remember that there was a great deal for federal hearings and the like and i wonder whether that ekes to a double standard or to two different issues here. >> i think this is a terrible defect and i think it's

outrageous the general motors of them do this recall. back in 2007 at the latest. but i don't think it's played out yet. i think there will be congressional hearings. i think the general motors is going to get as large as the can. the national highway traffic safety administration has not had this when they raise the penalty from 17 to 35 million. general motors could use that as a defense to avoid getting that higher penalty. this penalty is too low and it should be in the 200 million-dollar range and i hope the congress will finally raise it with the new legislation that will be coming up so that they really get a serious tone to you.

>> you are right. >> we haven't seen this completely play out yet. and also the new president of general motors was had all of the product development and is overseeing quality control. yet as far as i know she did nothing and she is not the one who apologized. it was a person on earth who apologized to the american public. neil: in the meantime, dealers like him i left with the type of cars that he is selling. and oftentimes that is not fair. so do you think that all of the problems that gm is having beers later contributed to going slow on this investigatiin?

i think that was a part of it. i think the government being involved was part of another government we and it was formed to cover this. to try to take care of this. it didn't happen. >> when you asked about this five or six years ago, this was well out there. in the last thing you want to do is get bad press. >> correct. there's too much bureaucracy. the word didn't get out to the public the way it should have.

>> we did reach out to general motors to see if they would come out. saying that ensuring our customer safety is our first order of business. we are deeply sorry and working to address this issue as quickly as we can. as a guy who sells these cars even though it has nothing to do with what happened here, do people say that you know, i'm going to go slow on this? >> of course it's going to. my concern was how fast were they going to react to this. and they did give us a high level of comfort telling us exactly what to do when a customer comes in. and that includes vehicles that are in question. neil: did any of you go back.

>> there has been any discussion about that. everything's been focused on customer safety to get this going on. and we have this with the dealerships. and now it's just opened up and it's been 10 years. it's interesting that we can could talk about this import to six weeks. >> a man whose daughter waa killed in one of these back in 2010 and now he's teaming and demanding answers and he is here and only here tomorrow. and have you ever asked yourself

going to let you take over. meanwhile, do you need proof that terser plotting the next attack? their gambling online to wander the money they might use for the next attack on the mexican issue. how is it that we know what they are doing with this? >> the fbi has made it plain in a letter to congressional leaders that online gambling is something that they do not believe that they can control. >> when you have online gaming the way that it exists now in a handful of states, you cannot monitor or control it despite the efforts to do it. and we know that the terrace love to get resources here and

this is the way they can do it. >> the money is crucial. >> thatts right. because we have tried very hard to trace funds that come from suspect organizations. and it's virtually impossible to regulate that according to the fbi. because of that there is no way to tell who the source of those funds are and where they are going and it poses a risk for us as we know. the world is not a safe place. neil: to require more snooping. >> what i'm advocating is going back to what the law was from over a decade until the obama and vision and the justice department unilaterally changed it. congress passed and president signed it the wire act, making it illegal to have interstate

gambling. what happened was for over a decade it was interpreted as the control of gambling like this. and states can do online gambling in a few states have taken about. that's what prompted the fbi to do that we can monitor this. this poses criminality and terrorism and we just can't control. neil: talking about this. he said that andrew cuomo as a good future in that he's a good guy. would you think about? >> the viability of a two-party system in states like new york is absolutely essential. and when you have them saying that he's a democrat but not as bad as the other democrat, to me it's very disappointing.

you need an intelligent debate and someone who has the resources and the ability to end up in a you've done this and i don't think it's a very good thing. >> you look at new york city. you have a one-party situation and we ended up with the mayor that think that it's way to the left of what they believe is right for this city. >> 70% of them voted it and had a very low turnout. >> then you have a viable two-party system in this city. we need a viable two-party wisdom in this state. i worked very hard to try to achieve it and i hope that we have a strong ticket this year. and we know it is an uphill fight. neil: thank you very much. in the meantime, new food labels are on the way. tens of millions of dollars that

we are spending too simply have them gg away. and a lot of you can't wait to get your hands on a pair. once you do, you could get arrested after putting them on. predicting the future is a pretty difficult thing to . but, manufacturing in the united states means advanced technology. we learned that technology alallows us to be craft orient.

an uphill battle. many say google shouldn't be fighting the battle. or better, they are an easy target? >> yes, they are. reality is that you can do anything while you're driving but you're not allowed to. that way there are restrictions on using grasses are not wearing them. >> you might keep them on the night of your stock or pullover, you can click them. but it doesn't mean that you are using it inappropriately while you're driving. >> and ttey look like they have

a star trek and spock thing going on. so what do you think of the and whether google has a heap of legal problems? >> i think that we are just at the beginning stages. and we will have the into the car. and you will see there's a guy out there that created this concept to go in a car in the wings will be on the. neil: they are already a part of this. >> they have us in the car and then they using e.g. locating content for marketing and all of us. >> the same way that the cell phone is when you're in a bar and there is a reporter attached

thing in bad thing? >> remember ronald reagan. strategy of the peace through strength. so you have to say, one of the prime responsibilities of the federal government is to safeguard our security and our freedoms. the way you do that, you say to yourself, what are the problems out there, and how are they evolving in to the future? and what do we need to deal with them effectively. taking advantage of opportunities. then you build our military capacity based on that strategy. you don't go at it the other way, say we only have a nickel now, what can you do with that nickel. you have to fight for the strategy. neil: do you believe as president does or at least defense department now seems to, that we don't need this

membership soldiers because they are around from the war in afghanistan, and war in iraq. we're unwinding from those areas, we don't need to be staffed to the degree we were? >> that may very well be true. on the other happened, i don't get the feeling that we have started from the sense of strej, th streablg, the world is awash in change, there are threats and ago fabulous opportunities to advance the agenda of freedom, so we have to be ready. neil: secretary, i'm looking at putin, in the eyes of the world, they might not like him but they fear him, increasingly more so than our own president, he has done a lot of sabre rattles whether in ukraine or now, even in cuba. what do you make of what he is up to? how to we respond? >> he is a strong, autocratic

kind of leader, he actually playing from a weak hand. so, certainly, he needs to see the strig on ou strej on our part, i remember when i was in marine corps bad camp at start of world war ii, sergeant hands me my rifle, and he say, take good care of this rifle, this is your best friend. and remember one thing, never . this rifle at anybody unless you are willing to pull the trigger. no empty threats. it is very important, that we conduct ourselves in such a way that when we say something, people take us at our word, and we know we'll follow-up. i am #r-ding thi reading a book about roosevelt and taft, but teddy, his motto was speak

softly but carry a big stick. neil: i am wondering too in this age, talking about republicans of this age, that they speak loudly, for example on issues of spend s, but, they don't ever cut spending, a lot of waiting until i guess, keeping their powder dry for november midterm elections hoping then they might take the senate, a bigger majority in the house, and able to respond, but our debt keeps filing up, is that a good strategy? >> the spending problem has to be addressed in terms of the entitlement programs. and you have to face up to them, and social security is easy to fix. really should not be controversial. and our medical health costs are soaring. and it is not that difficult to figure out what to do about it, but we have to get at those things, that is the big spending.

neil: but we don't do that -- >> i might say also in the military, that a lot of the so-called entitlements there pensions, and health costs, and so on are also spending out of control, the more that happens the more it drives out the fundamental functions of government. neil: to your points on that issue and others, president passed on even minor cost of living adjustment on some benefit programs in his latest budget blueprints, that so-called bargain he made with speaker boehner, and republicans balked on doing anything that would remotely hurt veterans, deemed cruel to them, if we can't make minor adjustments we'll have big problems, right? >> right, we have to be able to do it i remember in the days when i was in office, ronald reagan of president, tip o'neill speaker the house, somebody

asked roppa ronald reagan if tip was his add ver adversary, he said not after 6:00, they could work, get together, get a by, and work a deal. neil: there was a time. >> thank ou, sir. >> . neil: you think that california is a big old la-lala land, would it bug you less if it were 6 l.a.-l.a. lands.

the u.s. senate would have to approve the admission of 10 new senators. in to their body, diluting their power. why does senator from nevada or alabama or ohio want to give california 10 more senators? neil: his logic does make sense, at least base level, that is that it is a very big state. unwieldy state, in so far as interests and you know even physical connects are very desperate throughout the state, i don't know if that means you have to have 6 different states, but it makes it disfunctional. what do you make of that argument and why the 6 pieces? >> i don't know why the 6 pieces. we have north and south carolina, and north and south dakota, two states is possible, that was tried 1 in late

1850s, but. there is no way on earth that the u.s. congress is going to dilute its power and give more power to california. as you know they hate anything big, we're the biggest state, we tend to have to fight hard for what we're entitled to. neil: they might welcome instead of one big old pain in the butt, 6 pains in the butt, is this any different, when texas, state wants suss ead. is this different? >> i think that people natural he would like smaller government, government closer to people, i get that we have cities and municipal government, and local government, but you know 6 new states, that is god knows how many new regulations, are they keeps the laws that used to be laws of california just to get water, 2/3 of people in sfral and southern california, water has to go through 3 states, and the national guard does that get
