more hope in detroit. no doubt. the analogies between new orleans and katrina. they had a natural disaster that was immediate. our hurricane has been an economic hurricane. but the impact on the citizens has been similar in the loss of population, the loss of jobs. and really the hollowing out of this great city. but it's fantastic and it's not that detroit has to be the same size, they're trying to right size the city. so they're doing unique things, like urban farming -- taking a lot of the vacant land and turning it in to farming, which is sort of an interesting thing when you think about a city -- but abandoning cities is absolutely not the option. michigan and detroit, the only thing that separates detroit from michigan is a comma. >> let me turn to politics -- one of our favorite subjects, just looking at the national scene, how does a democrat win in this environment? >> i think that the president is providing a good road map, even though i know the health care bill law is controversial. i think peo

joining us is dave shepardson of "detroit news." in that statement, did you hear toyota saying they did know about this problem and did not go forward? >> they are not going that far. they're saying they got too big too fast. remember, toyota is an amazing success story. they went from 10% u.s. market share in 2000 to around 17%. this year, the almost out sold general motors to become the largest retail auto maker in the united states. they built plants over the u.s.. they built a truck plant in texas. they build a plant in mississippi. i think what he is saying is that his company became the world's largest automaker. they did not do enough to keep track of quality. there are other critics who said toyota -- a former u.s. executive said it had been hijacked by financial pirates at the company. as they got so big, did they forget the values that made them the company they are today? >> this potential find -- some are saying it is a warning to other automakers. what is the law here that toyota potentially violated? >> one is the safe

starting as off is dave shepardson of "detroit news." many people saw the headline -- regulators seeking a fine of $16.40 million against toyota. the statement said "if upheld." why does it say that? >> toyota gets to formally denied decide whether it wants to appeal the fine. this is by far the largest ever find that nhtsa has sought to impose. the previous was $1 million against general motors in 2004. the amounts are symbolic, given that these are companies with hundreds of billions of dollars in revenue. $16 million is a rounding error for them. >> what happens next? have you heard from toyota? have you heard from toyota? if it goes@@@ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is there some history of fines against auto companies? >> it was not until 2000 that fines for increased to $15 million. there are going up at the rate of inflation. with the exception of that 2004 find against general motors, $1 million because they failed to notify nhtsa about when chilled wiper defects in 600,000 vehicles -- the evidence suggested that gm had known about this for t

. >> host: most recently in the headlines has been the militia group out of detroit, michigan and with this headline militia is appalled by suspects, the fbi says the detroit office said last tuesday that other militias have distanced themselves from the nine members of the midwest group who were indicted this week for plotting to kill off horsemen officers. tell us what you know about this group and why is that other militia groups seem to be tried to put distance between themselves of these guys? >> guest: well, this was an odd group. basically they believe like most so-called patriot groups or militia type groups that to the world was headed for hell in a handbasket basically. what they believed essentially was there was coming commercial law, throwing good americans into concentration camps, those who resist an old what did the pushing of the u.s. assuming into a so-called new world order, some kind of socialistic one world government. it's not very fine in their ridings. this group was interesting in that it puts a very kind of christian millennial spin on the new world order ide

passenger plane in detroit on christmas day. more on the story tonight from our justice correspondent pete williams. >> reporter: administration officials say the failed plot to bomb a plane to detroit on christmas day by a man with explosives hidden in his underwear actually provided a needed jolt to shake up airline security. now the government is making a big change to a system started just three months ago, to evaluate who should be pulled aside at airports overseas for secondary screening, including patdowns or interviews or inspection in one of the full body image scanners. >> it is a more information-based way to screen. it's a stronger way to determine whether passengers should go through secondary examination and not just primary examination. >> reporter: gone is the practice started just in january of giving extra screening to anyone traveling from 14 countries where terror groups were known to operate or draw support. instead, screeners overseas will be urged to focus on other indicators. such as partial names, fragme

that was the right course ultimately the was the course the was taken and detroit is a much stronger footing than it was prior to those managed bankruptcy is being carried out but washington spend a lot of money gave them tens of billions of dollars that was on necessary and wasted and instead of the company's management teams and boards guiding of the bankruptcy process ultimately the government got in the bankruptcy process so we got the right solution manager bankruptcy gup but only after we wasted a lot of money. >> host: i am wondering if you think that somehow the tea party movement and people on the right in this country who look up the bailout of not only the car companies that the banks and say washington is too big and too intrusive. this notion of too big to fail is just lining the pockets of big executives who take these huge bonuses at the end of the year without any concern for the little man from the main street in america. >> guest: juan, but this idea of to get to feel that should not be part of the election. if a major institution has -- is on the brink of disaster
