Every car sold in the U.S. could be required to actively monitor the person behind the wheel. That means watching your eyes, tracking your behavior, and constantly evaluating whether you re alert enough to drive or not. For a lot of drivers, that starts to feel a lot less safe and more surveillance.

00:00:00.000 I want to actually get the audience's thoughts on this. So every new car could become a surveillance
00:00:05.360 machine by 2027 and it may decide if you can drive. I mean this is like this is exactly what
00:00:13.980 these movies the surveillance movies talk about like what you don't want it to be is what it's
00:00:20.000 shown. So let's read this through. This isn't some distant concept or experimental feature that might
00:00:24.480 come up in a few years by 2027 every car sold in the u.s could be required to actively monitor the
00:00:30.600 person behind the wheel that means watching your eyes tracking your behavior and constantly
00:00:35.160 evaluating whether you're alert enough to drive or not for a lot of drivers that starts to feel
00:00:39.900 a lot less safe and more surveillance so the law that's quietly changing cars
00:00:44.680 tucked into a broader federal safety initiative is a requirement for impaired driving detection
00:00:52.260 technology in all new vehicles the goal sounds simple enough reduce crashes caused by drunk or
00:00:58.240 fatigued drivers it's a problem that has been around for decades okay and to do that automakers
00:01:03.580 will need to install a system that monitors drivers in real time vinnie your thoughts on this well
00:01:09.140 we're when's the last time we heard something like this do you guys remember after september 11th
00:01:14.060 they gave us the u.s the patriot act and they sold it as protection pat like stop terrorism
00:01:19.680 Keep everybody safe.
00:01:20.620 Next thing you know, they collected all of our data on everybody.
00:01:23.620 Every single American, they were like, well, guys, tur.
00:01:26.500 The war on tur, that was Bush Jr., his favorite thing.
00:01:29.380 But now it's the same idea, different excuse.
00:01:32.820 Back then it was terrorists.
00:01:34.200 Now it's unsafe drivers.
00:01:35.600 But the move is the same.
00:01:37.700 More surveillance, more control.
00:01:39.820 That's why people don't trust this.
00:01:41.120 And I'm not a fan of it.
00:01:42.640 It sounds so good on paper.
00:01:44.820 It's on nobody. 1.00
00:01:45.720 I mean, you're a moron. 1.00
00:01:46.780 You want drunk drivers on the road. 1.00
00:01:48.200 but the part that people are waking up to this isn't just going to sit there quietly it's
00:01:53.360 collecting your data a lot of it and then once that data exists it doesn't just disappear it
00:01:58.420 gets stored it gets analyzed it gets potentially shared remember time they're trying to do that
00:02:02.420 predictive like crime pre-crime if you're going to do this are you going to kill somebody like
00:02:07.240 and then they'll stop you it's almost like a minority report but insurance companies already
00:02:11.260 want access to this kind of data obviously regulators want more control and now you have
00:02:15.800 ai making judgment calls in real time um and i'm just not a fan of it pat like who's to say
00:02:20.560 my eyes are kind of yawning or i'm not even yawning pat i have something in my eye or i'm
00:02:24.300 squinting what they're gonna monitor me and shut my freaking car off i'm not a fan of it at all
00:02:28.860 well listen a lot of republicans voted for this anna paulina luna did not she even tweeted about
00:02:33.920 the saying i'm not part of this i don't like some 55 republicans voted for this and some of them
00:02:39.040 said the reason for it is the mad mothers against drunk drunk drivers so this is a way for us to
00:02:44.700 protect the kids tom what do you like with this so um not well uh i i do not want to take the
00:02:51.740 autonomy from the human that owns that vehicle um there is already things like mercedes mercedes
00:02:58.240 will does um a driver attention and it gives you a beep and it tells you you have to grab the
00:03:03.460 steering wheel and it'll say like are you dozing off take a break so there's things in mercedes
00:03:08.620 that mercedes is advertised broadly even on the little basic mercedes pat where they detect if
00:03:13.540 you're like maybe getting fatigued and the car starts reacting but a car doesn't drive for you
00:03:18.240 i want to know how they're going to underwrite this we know insurance so if the car has the
00:03:22.820 ability to take over for me if it thinks i'm incapacity and the car makes a mistake and has
00:03:28.440 a collision with somebody who pays for that accident does ford pay for the accident i would
00:03:33.980 argue i i wasn't driving i didn't cause the accident so let me tell you what closed the
00:03:38.860 Strait of Hormuz. Lloyd's of London. You could argue that the first closure of the Strait of
00:03:44.300 Hormuz before everything started. These insurance people, man, they're always. Those guys, man.
00:03:48.820 Be careful for those guys. So I don't I don't want to see this, but I think there's also a
00:03:52.880 worse thing happening. What people need to understand is what's about to happen is your
00:03:56.680 car is about to become a subscription service. You know, there's that's just kind of the direction
00:04:01.440 where it's going. You're going to buy the car and then you pay for the advance subscription for all
00:04:05.380 these things like you buy an iphone and then you get an app in-app purchases if you want to buy
00:04:09.860 deluxe or all these other features that's where the cars are going to be going uh and that it's
00:04:14.120 just like full self-driving you can pay a subscription to tesla for that if your car is
00:04:18.140 equipped but i i i don't like this because it's unproven and i i really full self-driving has to
00:04:26.000 be you know fully in place and proven otherwise what what let me ask you this what do you do if
00:04:33.140 a car makes a mistake if they do this in 27 would you buy a 27 model or would you not buy it no and
00:04:39.460 belly things that the auto industry is already being shifty did you right now know that right
00:04:44.160 now the auto industry is already testing not letting you work on your own truck on certain
00:04:49.180 trucks ford did it so what it is is you go in to do things and you want to you work on your own
00:04:57.360 brakes it doesn't let the the system retract so you can't change brake pads you can go read about
00:05:03.100 this how the auto industry is trying to prevent diys from going down to auto zone and picking up
00:05:10.680 parts and working on their own vehicles you have to pay for it they want you to go to the dealer
00:05:15.480 and spend three times diys like me refer to it as the stealer yeah they want to force you to go
00:05:19.940 there so there there are things happening in in the auto industry pat that i am not in favor of
00:05:25.820 um safety things you know preemptive braking i don't i think these are good safety features but
00:05:32.300 Now you're stepping over to take over for somebody?
00:05:34.900 I don't know.
00:05:35.800 And, Tom, who's to say, let's just say, I don't know,
00:05:38.280 a pandemic that comes out of a lab of somewhere that we own.
00:05:41.500 Ring the bell.
00:05:42.360 Something happens like that, Tom, and the government taps in,
00:05:44.540 and they go, guys, we don't want anybody driving today.
00:05:47.080 And they just shut off every single vehicle.
00:05:48.840 I'm good.
00:05:49.420 I'm, yeah.
00:05:50.340 I will go back to stick shift, 1980s, BMW, two-door.
00:05:54.400 Do you remember the movie The Kingsman?
00:05:56.760 Kingsman.
00:05:57.340 Yeah, of course.
00:05:58.140 It's a great movie.
00:05:59.140 And Samuel Jackson was Valentine, the bad guy, and he sold everybody the chip in their phones, and then he caused the chips to go crazy, and there's this bizarre scene in the middle of it to the song Freebird by Skinner because he caused all the chips to go crazy and impact all the people.
00:06:16.800 That's exactly what you're talking about.
00:06:18.160 You don't want, at some point on some day, some havoc to break out.
00:06:22.420 Yeah.
00:06:22.900 Well, let the car guy explain what's going on here, guys.
00:06:25.900 Sure.
00:06:26.260 Okay?
00:06:26.780 Go ahead.
00:06:27.060 You're an Uber guy.
00:06:28.240 The Uber guy.
00:06:29.140 Well, I generally think that the way that we as Americans are being humans for that matter, the way that we interact with cars is completely changing.
00:06:36.880 Completely.
00:06:37.620 And to me, it comes down to one of two things.
00:06:40.580 Control versus freedom.
00:06:42.600 So I remember when we had Jordan Peterson on.
00:06:45.300 Sort of might have been in like 2022.
00:06:47.160 Yeah.
00:06:47.580 By the way, I don't think he's doing well these days.
00:06:49.400 How do you talk about control from the backseat?
00:06:51.620 So I remember asking, what kind of car do you drive?
00:06:56.240 And he goes, yeah, I got this old Mercedes.
00:06:58.240 I have a, you know, top goes down.
00:07:01.980 I do a thing.
00:07:02.420 He goes, you know, when we won the Cold War, speaking of that again, he goes, because they
00:07:08.980 saw what type of way we lived our lives, it was our jeans, it was our Ford Mustangs, and
00:07:13.700 people in Russia said, we want that.
00:07:15.480 We want freedom.
00:07:17.040 You know, what did they have in the USSR was all control. 0.58
00:07:19.620 In America, you're top down, driving on the highway, doing it in California. 0.51
00:07:27.220 It's all freedom.
00:07:28.240 and basically all this is basically coming down to is they're taking away your freedom
00:07:32.160 one little drip at a time so libertarians are not going to be happy about anything like this
00:07:37.880 by the way you see what they do with social credit scores in china the central bank digital
00:07:42.360 currencies the cbdc's it's all about control it's all about control driverless vehicles what are we
00:07:47.720 going to do with that so i don't know but do you know who should definitely qualify for this i don't
00:07:52.220 think the average person you know who should 100 you know who should if you're driving a work
00:07:57.660 vehicle like if you're driving a truck on the highway oh we want you i want recording the whole
00:08:03.620 time it's almost like police uh cameras police uh body cameras has dash cams on their trucks 0.83
00:08:09.640 for insurance and yeah but you remember these stories like in california some illegal immigrant
00:08:13.660 is how we know that the fedex guy did that terrible thing with so individuals you that's
00:08:18.980 a good point i i think i think if i think that's a good point if they're like by the way
00:08:23.340 it's like saying right now i'm recording mono he's got your car he had so fun but yeah the
00:08:31.220 ubers they're they're recording i'm not with it man i'm all i can tell you is look man i'm just
00:08:35.940 going to whisper something rob can you type in mercedes uh maybach sl680 tom have you seen this
00:08:44.480 No.
00:08:45.280 SL 680.
00:08:46.580 Mercedes.
00:08:47.020 Go to images.
00:08:48.180 I've never, ever thought I would be turned on by them.
00:08:53.120 Not that one.
00:08:53.640 Go to the second one right there.
00:08:54.940 Look at that, Tom.
00:08:56.720 Vinny, do you see that?
00:08:57.540 Like the Maybach 6, SL 680.
00:09:00.440 I saw two of them in the last couple weeks.
00:09:03.220 I don't know, man.
00:09:04.000 I'm kind of like, don't be surprised if one of these guys appears out of nowhere.
00:09:07.500 You know me and Humberto were looking at it.
00:09:08.680 Humberto, what was the name of that Ford, the Mustang?
00:09:11.080 Pat.
00:09:11.600 I already have a Ford.
00:09:12.920 Did you see the one?
00:09:13.760 What's a really expensive one?
00:09:15.660 Rob, there's a Ford Mustang.
00:09:18.120 It's called a dark horse.
00:09:20.700 Pat, what do you think about this one?
00:09:22.440 Look at the images.
00:09:23.360 Look at this thing. 1.00
00:09:25.200 Damn. 1.00
00:09:26.380 Look at that. 1.00
00:09:27.900 How bad.
00:09:28.420 Oh, it's like Batman, the dark.
00:09:29.980 You know how much that is?
00:09:30.880 About 120 grand.
00:09:31.820 Not that expensive.
00:09:33.040 Guys, 120 grand.
00:09:34.020 I think that's actually a little bit less, too.
00:09:35.800 By the way.
00:09:36.520 Gorgeous.
00:09:37.140 Pat, how sick is that with my truck?
00:09:39.260 Of all you guys?
00:09:39.900 Oh, my God.
00:09:41.000 I know Dilly's going to love that one.
00:09:42.340 It's called a dark horse.
00:09:42.960 Actually, I think I saw one of those stuck in a wheel well in the back of your truck.
00:09:46.240 I think you hit one on I-95 and didn't know.
00:09:48.580 I might have.
00:09:49.220 Of all you guys, who's the biggest car guy here?
00:09:51.220 There's a cat stuck in the grill.
00:09:51.780 Car guy?
00:09:52.280 Tom.
00:09:52.540 Who's the biggest car guy here?
00:09:53.580 Tom's not even close.
00:09:54.440 Tom's a car guy?
00:09:55.280 It's not even close.
00:09:55.760 Because he's an F1 guy?
00:09:56.940 No, no.
00:09:57.580 None of us are as big of a car guy as Tom is.
00:09:59.780 Tom is number one.
00:10:00.420 Tom's 10 out of 10?
00:10:01.520 It's not even close.
00:10:02.320 What are you?
00:10:03.160 I'm probably second.
00:10:04.720 But, like, out of 10, if I'm a car guy.
00:10:06.060 I mean, you know, my reason would be I don't drive as much as I do anymore.
00:10:09.800 So every time I think about buying a new car, I'm like, I'm not going to drive it anyway.
00:10:12.340 So what the hell am I going to be doing?
00:10:13.460 So part of it is kind of annoying.
00:10:14.940 I can't tell you.
00:10:16.060 Yesterday I'm at a football game, and a lady pulls up to me.
00:10:19.100 She says, when are you guys going to get size 14?
00:10:21.380 I'm like, ma'am, we just got size 7.
00:10:23.780 We just got size 8 1⁄2.
00:10:25.620 14 is coming here soon.
00:10:27.060 We got 7 1⁄2.
00:10:28.540 Says, my husband, I need size 14.
00:10:30.380 My dad comes home from church.
00:10:32.700 We're done eating.
00:10:33.620 We're at the house with Sean and Grace, and my dad says, when are you getting size 14?
00:10:37.560 I said, what do you mean size 14?
00:10:39.220 Today at church, somebody saw my Valuetainment logo.
00:10:41.460 They came to me.
00:10:42.020 They said, are you getting size 14 or not?
00:10:44.060 So I'm like, is there like an epidemic going on with size 14?
00:10:46.660 Who needs to use, Shaq, size 14?
00:10:48.280 Yeah, well, Shaq needs size 22, 23.
00:10:50.440 Wow.
00:10:50.700 But let me tell you, it's exciting stuff that's going on with the shoe.
00:10:53.620 Everywhere I'm going now, people are asking about how come my husband bought it.
00:10:57.560 We were at first skeptical.
00:10:58.780 Why would somebody like PBD come out with shoes?
00:11:01.400 You're not a shoe company.
00:11:02.480 Why would you come out with a shoe?
00:11:03.600 And then you go to Italy to do it.
00:11:04.820 I know it's designed in Florida, and it's got the, you know,
00:11:08.080 the super phone technology on the bottom of it, super comfortable.
00:11:10.820 Yes, every day I've been wearing this thing since September 9th,
00:11:14.520 I've worn the shoe every single day except for eight days.
00:11:18.180 Now I've not worn it since September 9th just to see what it feels like,
00:11:22.320 what it looks like, does it tear, does it have any damage?
00:11:24.460 It's the most comfortable thing I wear.
00:11:26.440 And if you haven't yet gotten yourself an FLB shoe, watch this commercial.
00:11:29.980 Hopefully this will persuade you to place an order for yourself,
00:11:33.240 your husband, or your son. Go ahead, Rob. When we set out to create a shoe that blends comfort,
00:11:39.560 function, and luxury, we had the choice to make it fast. We had the choice to make it cheap.
00:11:45.960 We chose neither. Instead, we chose Tuscanyero. We chose true Italian craftsmanship. Each pair
00:11:52.980 touched by 50 skilled hands. We chose patience, spending two years perfecting every detail,
00:12:01.200 and we chose the finest quality at every step.
00:12:05.340 Introducing the Future Looks Bright collection.
00:12:08.920 Not rushed, not disposable, not ordinary.
00:12:13.120 Rather intentional, luxurious, timeless.
00:12:21.240 Go to vtmurch.com, place your order,
00:12:23.720 handmade, Italy, Tuscany, Superfoam technology.
00:12:27.260 Your husband will thank you for it,
00:12:28.480 your son will, and you will if you buy it for yourself.
00:12:30.240 Get it in white, black, brown, or navy blue.
00:12:35.120 And new colors will be launched here in August.
00:12:37.140 But for now, we have a lot of sizes.
00:12:38.440 Get them before they sell out because the sizes go out quickly.
