9:02 pm
were put to death. their new campaigns against all sorts of other vices let's start with the lawost all of you say is good and needed. the w against drunk driving. drunk drivers kill her into the fedel government with a hard limit how much alcohol you could have your blood. is it set at the right level i asked special correspondent nnedy to drink and drive. >> we are going to go through the course sober and then with alcohol and have you tried the drunk. >> it is my dream come true. >> under the supervision of the los geles county sheriff's office, she had no trouble driving betweecones and parkinbetween them. >> let the games begin. >> she dank a mimosa and hen a tequila and then another mimosa. >> it isreally shocking how little alcohol takes you to be
9:03 pm
consered junk. >> kenne is not much a drinker. it was clear she was feelingit. john: the detective gave her the brthalyzer test >> she was at a.043. >> am i drun >> no, anythinunder 805 is not underthe influence. joon: but she was feeling it leaves the buzz. >> buzzed driving is drunk drivg, don't o it. john: that kennedy did it, and she did prett well. watching her drivingyou would not know that she was impaired. so she drank more. >> that was more than i ever drink in my life.
9:04 pm
>> definitely impairment there. do you see her slain? john: this time she flunked the breathalyzer test, as ell as the walking the line test. and when she drove, she was a mess. >> okay, there is a tone. >> there's definity impairment there. definitely she wld be going to jail. >> you have sobered up. what have you lear? >> i earned that i felt more unk than actuallwas. after three drinks when i took e second breathalyze, i felt hammered. i would never have gotten in t car. i was shocked that i only blew that much. >> that you cod be different
9:05 pm
fr normal people. you are not a drinker. >> i drink a little bit. i am definitely a moderate drinker. seven drinks to be considred junk? >> we hould be clear to the audience what the government calls a drink is 1.5 ounces. >> it uld've been 4 ounces f champagne and 1.5 ounces of tequila or hard alcohol. so what you thinkis one drink could actually be closer to two. when you are for drinks then, you sometimes think you have only had a couple. that is when people have problems. >> the government has imit and they keep playing with it, changing it. the pressures always tighter d tighter. you livein los angeles where they have a lot of these checkpoints oking for drunk drivers and you becoe skeptical. >> yes, i'm skeptical after this because i realize that it really
9:06 pm
drinking twice as much in some cases, theycouldandle a car twice asl as i could in some cases. john: checkpoint have unintded consequences >> they do. you are taking o horseman off the street on busy holidays. but now people are using social media to let other drivers know where the eckpointnts are. some critics say that encouraging people to drive drunk,thers say no, it actually tells you. there are those out there that they do not drink and drie..3 john: let's goback to the controversy over the legal b alcohol level and what should it be. it is current .08 down from the earlier limit of .10 now, the feddoesit is .05. the police are eager to punish drunk drivers. >> there ino way to hide it. if yu drive drunk, cops
9:07 pm
everre are stepping up enforcement in tracking you down li never before. >> overwhelmingly, amricans support this. but as jonalist sayif we really care about road safety and savi lives, we should abolish drunk drivinglaws. so ha? >> well, the idea is not to encouragdrunk driving but the idea is to improve highway safety and make the roads safer. i think that youo that by atg reckless driving andd3 not whatever it was that was causing the reckless driving to begin with. my problem is saing that it should beillegal to have alcohol in your system whileou are hind the wheel, even if you're not dong anything wrong. only way you can enforce that is through these intrusive measures, including having cops draw blood on the side of the road or these checkpoints.
9:08 pm
so mpoint is that we should focus on the distraction. john: the government ays that sleep deprivation can be as much of a cause or more than alcohol. also having the kids in the ckseat. the gp, eatin >> my blood alcohol is .81. they are driving home at night. they get pulled over because, you know, theye driving at 2:00 a.m.and maybe they do a rolling stop instead of coming to a complete stop at a stop sign. basically, you know, it r ruins their lives in a lot of ways. th can be severelyimpacted. you get th fines come youave to go to alcohol rehab classes.
9:09 pm
and then you get a person who hasn't slept in a long ime and may be a truck drir isn't here because of the lack of sleep. do not truk driver blows a red light and hit sombody. that level of distraction is actually worsethan most. that pern is not going to get the same sort of punihm that the drunk driver gets. point is that it should be the recklessnes and if you want to tack on extra penalties because someone was drunk after you gethem forrwhatever infracti they committed, that is another story. asennedy pointed out, when the federal government lowered the national bod alcohol level from the minimum level to .102.18, it had been in steep decline foabout 20 years. i think a good explanation for that would be tat when groups
9:10 pm
like mothers against drunk driving put on these massive public relations campaign, sang that this inot a joke anymore. it was sort of amusing back in the day to see someone stumbling, they were ccessful and they change public advocacy about it. i think that has a lot more effect on the drop n fatalities than changing the laws to more aggressi enforcement. johnsoso let's bring jt giffin into our studio. what bradley is saying is that it's workflow close to the campaign. not your law. >> no, that is not true at ll. brinng down the fatalities is actually strong law enforcement coupled with strong laws that are own to bring dwn fatalities, especially in regard to drunk driving. what he said about it is true. highway fatalitiesnvolvin
9:11 pm
drunk drivers have faen by over0%. at is e to strong laws that have been worked to pas. john i don't see how you know that. >> wel you c look at the la that have been studied. things like th.08, the zero-tolerce. right now we have a new campaign to eliminate drunkriving, which is based on all convicted drunk drivers,support for checkpoints and advanced technology that we tink could actually stop a drunk driver from operating his or her vehicle. he wan a test of the guys drunk and you couldn't start the car? but sometimes it ould misfire and sober people wodn't get too dry. what the passenger is drnk?
9:12 pm
>> the technology is being developed to focus on the passenger and the driver. it is being blamed for a third of all highway fatalities. john: drunk driving isinolved, meaning afterwards we found alcohol, but it didn't necessarily mean it was caused by that. >> i think that you can look at what is happening across the country. can see that it is a cause. we kw that when smeone is active, it is one of the most studied health laws in the country in the wrld. we kow that when someone is at .08, they are too impaired to drive. hn: bradley? st question? >> thosese are alcohol related talities. that is often interchanged with drunk driving fatalities. alcohol-related just means that somebody involved in the accint had alcoholn her system and it doesn't necessarily mean that someone was drunk or over the legal
9:13 pm
limit. >> you can test if they have alcohol in her system. you can't test if they are yelling at the ks were struggling with the dog in the car. it is harder to measure. than you both for being here. up next, i like to gamble, but some politicians want that band. if your ds gble, they are threor four more timeso steal or get in trouble with t law. john: oh, my goodness. while my gambling make it worse? we will debate it coming up next the boys used double les from their capital one venture card to fly home for the big family reunion. you must be garth's father? hello. mother. mother! traveling is easy with the vente card because you can fly airline anytime. two words.
