11:00 pm
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 s known about a switch problem in the chevy cobalt. ssrious enough to cut ower to all safety systems including airbags. even before that, jim engineers were concerned about potential fatalities from this.
11:01 pm
but only now is g 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 legistor one of our endangered. maybe because they would later need resing and toyota would just be needing a tongue lashing. for years gm got away with what look lik murder. thrty-five dollars for it is missing a problem that could have killed her teen people. former natonal transportation safety had it that this is an only tragic but it's criminal. and no one ever intds to kill
11:02 pm
people. that's never he intent. the clearly dragging its feet and addressiing something that clearly wa raises some culpability issues here. >> oh, absolutely. gm delayed for almost 10 years and doing it recall. it's hard to believe that they cod 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 o thean 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
11:03 pm
that. and tenures which we were getting more indications fromgm engineers. do you have any way to explain the difference in treatment that gms getting now versus what toyota instantly got? >> i don't think there is that much difference. a areful 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 greadeal for feral hearings and the like and i wonder whether that ekes to a double standard or to two different issues here. >> i thinkthis is a terrible defect and i think it's
11:04 pm
outrageous the general motors of them do this recall. back in 2007 at thelatest. but i dn'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 admintration as 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 nw legislation that wilbe coming up so that they really get a serious tone to yo.
11:05 pm
>> you are right. >> we haven'teen 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 thathe 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?
11:06 pm
i think that was a part of it. i think the government being involved was part of ather 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 sixyears 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.
11:07 pm
>> we did reach out to general motors to see if they uld come out. saying that nsuring our customer safety is our first order of business. we are deeply sorry and workin 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 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 givus 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.
11:08 pm
>> there has een any disccussion about that. everything's bn focused on stomer safety to gethis going on. and we have this with the dealerships. and now it's just opened up and it's been 10 years. it's iereing 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 haveou ever asked yourself what is really the deal?
11:09 pm

meanwhile, do you need proof that terser plotting the next attack? their gambling online to wander e money they might use for the next attack on th mexican issue. how is it that we know hat they are doing with this? >> the fbi has made it plain in a leer to congressional leaders thatonline 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 ndful 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
11:14 pm
this is the way they can do it. >> the money is crucial. >> thatts right. because we have triedvery hard to trace funds that come from suspect organizations. and it's virtually impossible to regulate that according to the fbi. because of tha there is no way to tell who the source of those funds are andwhere they are going and it poses a risk for us as we know. theworld is not a safe place. neil: to equire 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
11:15 pm
gambling. what happened was for over a decade it was interpred 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: talkng aout 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 hs a democrat but not as bad as the other democrat, to me it's very disappointing.
11:16 pm
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 ry low turnout. >> then you have aviable 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 ear. and we know it is an uphill fight. neil: thank you very much. in the antime, new food labels are on the way. tens of millions of dollars that

11:40 pm
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 leastase level, that is that it is a very big state. unwieldy state, in so far as interests and you kw even physical connects are very desperate throughout the state, i d't kw 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'tnow why the 6 pieces. we have north and south carolina, and nth and south dakota, two states is possible, that was tried 1 in late 1850s, but.
