It's a pleasure to be with you again, Dr. Drew. It's been too long since we've spoken.
Ask Dr. Drew

And all of the stuff that comes out of the horse would have been absolutely perfect for LA. They wouldn't notice it. They wouldn't notice it.
Ask Dr. Drew
War On Cars: Why A Gas Vehicles Ban Is A Giant Threat To Freedom (And Another Step Closer To Total Surveillance) w/ Mel K & Jay Beeber – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 455
Yeah, so no, we're out of luck, you know, and it's worse now. We were all talking about this stuff, you know, happening in California, happening in L.A., all the road diets, all of the stuff to force you out of your car, and, you know, now it's sort of metastasized all over the country, and, you know, the world folks are all into this stuff too.
Ask Dr. Drew
War On Cars: Why A Gas Vehicles Ban Is A Giant Threat To Freedom (And Another Step Closer To Total Surveillance) w/ Mel K & Jay Beeber – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 455
So, you know, it's been bad, and it's just getting worse, although there is a little bit of a light at the end of the tunnel, I think, here recently.
Ask Dr. Drew
War On Cars: Why A Gas Vehicles Ban Is A Giant Threat To Freedom (And Another Step Closer To Total Surveillance) w/ Mel K & Jay Beeber – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 455
There's nothing. There's nothing. And here's the thing. If you look at the data with regards to whether or not electric vehicles are even better for the planet, just in terms of carbon emissions, I don't even mean all the other negative consequences of all the mining and that kind of stuff in terms of the environment and the generation of electricity and wind power and solar power.
Ask Dr. Drew
War On Cars: Why A Gas Vehicles Ban Is A Giant Threat To Freedom (And Another Step Closer To Total Surveillance) w/ Mel K & Jay Beeber – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 455
But if you just look at... the cradle to grave on electric vehicles, they are not necessarily better for the environment in terms of carbon emissions because you have to look at the whole thing. And of course, they only want to look at whatever comes out of the non-existent tailpipe and compare that to cars because they hate cars. They hate people who drive cars.
Ask Dr. Drew
War On Cars: Why A Gas Vehicles Ban Is A Giant Threat To Freedom (And Another Step Closer To Total Surveillance) w/ Mel K & Jay Beeber – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 455
They hate the fact that you have freedom using a car. So they want to impose something on everybody that restricts your ability to get around.
Ask Dr. Drew
War On Cars: Why A Gas Vehicles Ban Is A Giant Threat To Freedom (And Another Step Closer To Total Surveillance) w/ Mel K & Jay Beeber – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 455
You know, this is just another money grab. New York is... New York, Manhattan is horrible about this kind of stuff. They have automated enforcement everywhere, which are supposedly school zones, which run at 2 o'clock in the morning and lower speed limits there. And they... You know, as far as the congestion pricing, it's just another way to penalize people who drive cars.
Ask Dr. Drew
War On Cars: Why A Gas Vehicles Ban Is A Giant Threat To Freedom (And Another Step Closer To Total Surveillance) w/ Mel K & Jay Beeber – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 455
I mean, you think about it, it makes no sense because... Look, I'm from New Jersey, so I'm really familiar with Manhattan. And... And you don't drive into Manhattan unless you have a need to do so. And so it's not like people are just driving there for a Sunday drive or a midweek drive. You have to – you're there to do something.
Ask Dr. Drew
War On Cars: Why A Gas Vehicles Ban Is A Giant Threat To Freedom (And Another Step Closer To Total Surveillance) w/ Mel K & Jay Beeber – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 455
They're talking about, oh, we've reduced the number of people that are crossing. We reduced the number of people in the first few weeks. I don't know that that will hold. But they say that that's a good thing. It's not a good thing because that means that there's less economic activity happening. People are less able to do what they need to do.
Ask Dr. Drew
War On Cars: Why A Gas Vehicles Ban Is A Giant Threat To Freedom (And Another Step Closer To Total Surveillance) w/ Mel K & Jay Beeber – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 455
But they only look at one little aspect of it because they hate freedom.

Why doesn't a little rain stop you? Why does running become a ritual? So run and feel the runner's high. Go wild and learn more about running at puma.de.
Ask Dr. Drew
War On Cars: Why A Gas Vehicles Ban Is A Giant Threat To Freedom (And Another Step Closer To Total Surveillance) w/ Mel K & Jay Beeber – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 455
I'm confused.
Ask Dr. Drew
War On Cars: Why A Gas Vehicles Ban Is A Giant Threat To Freedom (And Another Step Closer To Total Surveillance) w/ Mel K & Jay Beeber – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 455
Mel's absolutely right. I mean, this is exactly what's going on. And, you know, she talks about the surveillance that's going on in your car. We've had black boxes in our cars for years. And so they can investigate that. But now in the cars that are connected to the Internet.
Ask Dr. Drew
War On Cars: Why A Gas Vehicles Ban Is A Giant Threat To Freedom (And Another Step Closer To Total Surveillance) w/ Mel K & Jay Beeber – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 455
Those cars are in real time giving out all of your data. And when I say all of your data, I mean all of your data. They track how hard you brake, how fast you accelerate, what time of day you're driving, what kind of roads you're driving on. And this is all stuff that is chopped up in this data and given to data brokers.
Ask Dr. Drew
War On Cars: Why A Gas Vehicles Ban Is A Giant Threat To Freedom (And Another Step Closer To Total Surveillance) w/ Mel K & Jay Beeber – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 455
And then they sell it to whoever wants it, like your insurance company or whoever wants to control you. And, you know, there's no reason why the government couldn't get it. couldn't get ahold of this because they want us to, how many miles is this person driving here? This goes into that, you know, that miles tax that they want to impose on everybody.
Ask Dr. Drew
War On Cars: Why A Gas Vehicles Ban Is A Giant Threat To Freedom (And Another Step Closer To Total Surveillance) w/ Mel K & Jay Beeber – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 455
Everybody thinks that it's because, oh, we'll have to replace the gas tax because there's not as much gas being used. It's because they want to control how many miles you drive. And so when you, it'll be like tiers. So first we'll say, okay, well, you get this many miles and it'll cost you this much. But if you want to go over that, it'll cost you this much more and then this much more.
Ask Dr. Drew
War On Cars: Why A Gas Vehicles Ban Is A Giant Threat To Freedom (And Another Step Closer To Total Surveillance) w/ Mel K & Jay Beeber – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 455
And there was a proposal in one of the states in one of these pilot programs to charge people more if the powers that be, you know, our overlords, decided that you couldn't have taken that trip using a bicycle or transit. They would have charged you more per mile for that trip. This is exactly what they want to do. And you're right.
Ask Dr. Drew
War On Cars: Why A Gas Vehicles Ban Is A Giant Threat To Freedom (And Another Step Closer To Total Surveillance) w/ Mel K & Jay Beeber – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 455
It's these world organizations like the World Economic Forum and all these folks. They have a stated goal of reducing car ownership. That is a stated goal of theirs. Right.
Ask Dr. Drew
War On Cars: Why A Gas Vehicles Ban Is A Giant Threat To Freedom (And Another Step Closer To Total Surveillance) w/ Mel K & Jay Beeber – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 455
Yeah, I mean, they want to bring this all over to NYC, but it's not just... I don't know what the tickets were for. I'm sure it was for you driving exactly the speed that the roadway was for. It was for speeding. It was speeding.
Ask Dr. Drew
War On Cars: Why A Gas Vehicles Ban Is A Giant Threat To Freedom (And Another Step Closer To Total Surveillance) w/ Mel K & Jay Beeber – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 455
Right. But here's the thing. I'm sure you weren't doing anything particularly dangerous. You were simply driving at a reasonable speed for the way the roadway was built, but they had a speed limit on it that was different because they want to make driving as slow and as miserable as possible, so you don't do it. And that's what's happening here in the United States. But there are a lot of
Ask Dr. Drew
War On Cars: Why A Gas Vehicles Ban Is A Giant Threat To Freedom (And Another Step Closer To Total Surveillance) w/ Mel K & Jay Beeber – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 455
new AI cameras that are being placed throughout Europe, and these things can do a lot more than just check your speeding. They can check what's going on in your car. Are you drinking something while you're driving? Are you wearing a seat belt? Are you using your cell phone? Whatever it is that's the disfavor. There are too many people. Are you talking to somebody while you're driving?
Ask Dr. Drew
War On Cars: Why A Gas Vehicles Ban Is A Giant Threat To Freedom (And Another Step Closer To Total Surveillance) w/ Mel K & Jay Beeber – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 455
Absolutely. Absolutely. There's no question. But here's the thing.
Ask Dr. Drew
War On Cars: Why A Gas Vehicles Ban Is A Giant Threat To Freedom (And Another Step Closer To Total Surveillance) w/ Mel K & Jay Beeber – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 455
No. Well, I mean, it may be the moment, but I think, you know, look. This has been happening for a really long time. Any sort of safety crisis, and we just saw this with COVID, which is if you can tell people that there's a safety crisis, then you can control them. And this is what's happening with cars. We haven't touched on this, but this is the claim that cars are so dangerous.
Ask Dr. Drew
War On Cars: Why A Gas Vehicles Ban Is A Giant Threat To Freedom (And Another Step Closer To Total Surveillance) w/ Mel K & Jay Beeber – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 455
We have a roadway safety crisis with the last administration. was harping on over and over and over again. It's not true because the fatality rate for roadway fatalities has gone down by like 95% since cars were invented. If it was anything else like cancer, we'd be singing from the rooftops. But for us, it's a crisis because they want to control us and they want to control our lives.
Ask Dr. Drew
War On Cars: Why A Gas Vehicles Ban Is A Giant Threat To Freedom (And Another Step Closer To Total Surveillance) w/ Mel K & Jay Beeber – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 455
And one way to do that, because if you think about all the freedoms that you have You can't exercise those freedoms unless you can usually go somewhere. I mean, yeah, we now have the ability to communicate through these means, but this is part of what COVID was about, which is when you lock everybody down, you can't exercise any of your freedoms.
Ask Dr. Drew
War On Cars: Why A Gas Vehicles Ban Is A Giant Threat To Freedom (And Another Step Closer To Total Surveillance) w/ Mel K & Jay Beeber – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 455
Well, if you lock people down in terms of not having them be able to get around as easily, they can't exercise their freedoms. And that's what this is all about. They hate freedom.
Ask Dr. Drew
War On Cars: Why A Gas Vehicles Ban Is A Giant Threat To Freedom (And Another Step Closer To Total Surveillance) w/ Mel K & Jay Beeber – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 455
Well, certainly right now, I think the best opportunity we have for pushing back against this, other than your local level, that's always a great place to keep an eye out. And what Mel is talking about makes a whole lot of sense.
Ask Dr. Drew
War On Cars: Why A Gas Vehicles Ban Is A Giant Threat To Freedom (And Another Step Closer To Total Surveillance) w/ Mel K & Jay Beeber – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 455
But at the federal level now, we have new people in charge, especially the Department of Transportation, whether it's EV mandates or any of these other things to try to get you out of your car. I don't think they're going to keep going in this direction. I mean, there's been some good news. Like right after Sean Duffy was sworn in, they took down the webpages that were for complete streets.
Ask Dr. Drew
War On Cars: Why A Gas Vehicles Ban Is A Giant Threat To Freedom (And Another Step Closer To Total Surveillance) w/ Mel K & Jay Beeber – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 455
And if you don't know what complete streets are, it's basically socialism for roadways, which means we have to give equal and equitable space to everybody, including bicycles. We have to take away car lanes and some of the stuff that we were talking about before. But they also took away the equity in roadway safety policy. web pages as well. And so this is a good sign.
Ask Dr. Drew
War On Cars: Why A Gas Vehicles Ban Is A Giant Threat To Freedom (And Another Step Closer To Total Surveillance) w/ Mel K & Jay Beeber – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 455
We obviously have a whole list of other ones we want them to take down. But even more importantly, they have to get rid of the folks that put these things up. And hopefully those folks will be rooted out as well because it's only a couple of months or a year and a half or whatever. Who knows what the new Congress will be in the midterms.
Ask Dr. Drew
War On Cars: Why A Gas Vehicles Ban Is A Giant Threat To Freedom (And Another Step Closer To Total Surveillance) w/ Mel K & Jay Beeber – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 455
And once Trump is out of office, hopefully a lot of these policies will continue. But who knows who will take over next.
Ask Dr. Drew
War On Cars: Why A Gas Vehicles Ban Is A Giant Threat To Freedom (And Another Step Closer To Total Surveillance) w/ Mel K & Jay Beeber – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 455
So good news, you know, Culver City, during the pandemic, they took of the three lanes in each direction on Culver Boulevard through the middle of Culver City, they took away two of the car lanes in each direction, gave one to bike lanes and one to bus lanes, and only one for car lanes. And everything ground to a halt, especially once people started getting back out of lockdowns.
Ask Dr. Drew
War On Cars: Why A Gas Vehicles Ban Is A Giant Threat To Freedom (And Another Step Closer To Total Surveillance) w/ Mel K & Jay Beeber – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 455
And the people came out with pitchforks and torches, and they forced them to roll that back. So it's true, you can make a difference. Organizations like ours, the National Motorist Association, this is what we do every single day, is we fight for your freedom to go where you want to go, when you want to go, how you want to go. So, you know, individual work is great.
Ask Dr. Drew
War On Cars: Why A Gas Vehicles Ban Is A Giant Threat To Freedom (And Another Step Closer To Total Surveillance) w/ Mel K & Jay Beeber – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 455
We can support folks at the individual level and, you know, joining the National Motorist Association, joining us, go to motorist.org. We actually have a downloadable, if you go to our website right now, which is what to do if you get pulled over by the police. It's a Something really important that people should know just in case they ever get pulled over.

And it's not just an automated ticket that you get when you come home from France.
