Everybody needs money. That's why they call it money.

From full global headquarters, this is Motley Fool Money.

It's the Motley Fool Money Radio Show. I'm Chris L. Joining me in studio this week for Motley Fool One.

Good to see you, Jents. We will break down the latest news from the telecom industry, the energy industry and the donut industry.

With the World Cup just days away, we will analyze the business of soccer.

And as always, we'll give you an inside look at the stocks on our radar.

We are taping a little early this week before the monthly jobs report is out.

So we will not be starting with the big macro.

Instead, let's start with General Motors on Thursday, CEO Mary Barra announced the firing of 15 employees

who GM determined to have acted inappropriately in connection to the ignition switch defect.

That's linked to nearly 50 vehicle crashes and at least 13 deaths and Ron, the investigation concluded there was no deliberate cover-up.

So my first question is, is this behind GM now?

Interesting. I like the way Mary Barra is handled it. I know we spoke for the show.

You think she could have even gone a little bit further.

But I like the way she's handled it. It's over in the sense that they're going to come up with a program to compensate these individuals.

It's hard to say if it's only the 13 people that unfortunately lost their lives, is this going to go bigger than that?

What I find really interesting is that the new GM is not the same as the old GM.

It's actually a different entity when they went bankrupt in 2009.

A new entity was created and the new one is not actually liable for things that happened to the old GM.

So lawsuits would probably not be successful here, although people can certainly try.

So if they put together this fund, they compensate people accordingly. They apologize. They say we really screwed up, which I think they've done. I guess they move forward.
