talk show host. i like the latter. i think really a of, more than likes the idea. he has a point. he said we should widen the job search for w sits in the white house to folks who, well, could buy the white house. folks like bill gates, maybe even oprah. why not to his point at least think of people outside the obvious? not as if we could do worse. take look around. we already are. tonight going long with the maverick temporary shored and patience is running thin. he wants to shake up the nation once again. it's a pleasure to have you. thank you for coming. >> thank you. neil: i love the idea. i think it's brilliant. i don't know why it should be such a surprising idea. >> i don't know why either. because so many people are turned off the two parties. half the people don't bother going to the presidential election. there's a lot of cynicism. it leaves the washington bubble

unpretushed. we need to injection new idea, new background, new agenda. and let's face it in, the next couple of years it's going take people of a lot of money. megabillionaires or billionres to get on the ballot to basically though the new idea based on the experience before the american people to give them more voices annoys voices. weave the whole list of the 120, i proposed on the website nadeer.com. you threw ted gates in there and steve -- steve case and go on to take a look at the others. your argument by and large, if they know something about succeeding and money then maybe they're just the folks to deal with washington and money. >> yeah. the three criteria do these multibillionaires have enlightened background, have they given money to charity, or

tell your doctors about all medicines you take. pradaxa side effects include indigestion, stomach pain, upset, or burning. if you or someone you love has afib not caused by a heart valve problem... ...ask your doctor about reducing the risk of stroke with pradaxa.

ken. his daughter, brooke, as killed in a crash linked to the nition switch defect back in 2010. he and his lawyer lance cooper are suing gm and hope to get answers now. both gentlemen join me from atlanta. my condolence, ke, to your loss. i cannot imagine as it goes against the grind of life. our children are supposed to bury us. not the other way around. but was this defect the reason your daughter died? undoubtedly. it was found even before th 2005 model that m daughter bought. for some reason they decided not to disclose the matter, and she bought a -- a new model in 2005, and in 2010

the ignition cut off on her. she had an accident, which killed her. neil: i don't want to reliveethe horrible history. if you'llic dulling me. the igniion cuts off. it means the engine effectively cuts off. it means also the air bag cannot be released because the safety system goes down. it went she went head on in to someone and that's what happened; right? >> unfortunately, went acros two lane f traffic, t-boned by another car, she lost braing, all steering and went down to a ditch full of water after that. i understand fm the doctor at the hospital that her neck was broken in the side crash.

in the 13 people gm disclosed she wasn't included because it was no a head-on collision. that's what i was going to raise with your attorney. they are distinguished between those involved and the head-on crash and those not. as in ken's daughters. but '02 saying that if you include off such events the are i count of those killed ges up presip usely. >> absolutely. >> explain, lance, what your track will be. >> well, gm is actually settled the claim. we contie to pursue our investigation to make sre that nitsa pursue their investigation to get what gm knew and when. if they didn't rely it and that was the initial argument at the time that even government didn't know because the company sharing

this where does it put the investigation. they had a duty t disclose it within five ys. they should have disclosed it in 2005 whe the chief programming enneer who had a similar incident -- they knew about the defect. they determined the ignition switch was defective in for of 2005. they never should have put the car on the road and should have informed them of the problem and fixed it. we wouldn't be here today. as ken said there are likely more numerous fatalities. they have be had included brooke's accident. >> i talked tone analyst yesterday who said it is easy to make it look obvious after the fact there are reports or sporadic the study show problem in the this case the ignition situation and others.

do you believe they knew that? >> no, i don't believe it. i believe they already had indications if there were problems with the switch before that. and didn't indicate that. we'll watch where it goes. lance, as well. ank you, both, fo coming. thank you. >> thank you, neil. >> all right. to former transportation sector how a company could literally keep it under the hood for so long. secretary, it isn't automatic lividded to goverent; right? the company could keep this to itself or is there procedure? what is the procedure? %-ways that nitsa the safetywo organization at d.o.t. that looks in tothese matters with

the safety organization when i was there where we called toyota and made sure their cars were safe. we did it with gm when it came to the volt and the batteries were catchi fire. we required them to fix it. so people can complain to nits they can file a complaint online. or the car company has to disclose it. those are the only two ways. neil: do we know, secretary, whether gm had relayed it or people were working through to get the word back to gm to get the word back. was it -- >> well, everything i read didn't look like they knew about it. which means they didn't disclose it. nobodyplained about it. sometimes they read about them and opens an investigation. neil: how does it start, secretary. let say there are a series of incidents or accidents shrt of the people involved or their loved ones getting in touch of

them or their laer. that's about the only way they're going find out if the company isn't saying anything; right? >> that's right. somebodyas to file a complaint. somebody has to go online. somebody hato called line and say car is not working right. my ignition is not working properly. how does the toyota stuff get to you? >> it really came as a result of the accident in san diego where three people were killed. and that's when we opened the investigation. neil: and that we had tape and that made it more pwerful. >> that's right. we did a second investigation where they didn't disclose information. we fined them again. it came through a complaint that was filed by individual citizens. >> do you think it's a cynical question, forgive me. given what gm was dealing with some years back with the buyout and he rescue, that maybe if we

would have gotten the rescue. >> i think when i look back on the four and a half years i was secretary. we took these things very seriously. people criticized us for, you know, trying to take on tow you that or trying to, you know, impinge toyota's reputation. but -- >> going to toyota and maybe goinsoft. i know, the vote. i remember that very well. maybe there was a sort of standoffish deal with gm because there was a heap of prolems already. >> not at all. we went after chrysler when they had the gas tank on the jeep improperly u instaedwith went after gm when the volt's batteries were catching fire.
