The NTSB recommends that all 50 states require ignition interlock devices for all drivers convicted of a DUI. A report by Diane Sawyer explores new technology that would require all drivers to prove sobriety before a car will start. The hosts label this "pre-crime" and criticize Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) as a "scam organization" that has moved beyond its original mission.

Rapper Lil Wayne was released from jail on parole with a strict condition forbidding the consumption of any substance containing alcohol for 36 months. The hosts note that this is a standard "check item" on Arizona parole forms, which they attribute to the influence of Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD).

A new legislative proposal in Texas aims to create a "Driving While Ability Impaired" (DWAI) category for blood alcohol levels as low as 0.05. Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) supports the measure, which the hosts argue is a move toward de facto zero tolerance and a revenue-generating scheme for court-mandated safety courses.

The U.S. Department of Transportation released a public service announcement targeting drunk motorcycle riders.

Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) has received a "D" rating from the American Institute of Philanthropy due to high fundraising costs and executive salaries. The report indicates that only one-third of the charity's budget is available for actual charitable work. The hosts link this to a broader media narrative regarding "binge drinking" and obesity, which they view as a precursor to increased regulation.
