the guardian angels founder see him on the program a lot nobody came to her aid.'t want to get involved. it is the damage penny factor. it's frozen people. they are saying to themselves i don't want to get jammed up like penny. people should have been running over to the woman on fire. they did nothing. they said nothing. and on this very show -- i have heard it come out of kilmeade's mouth. ainsley mouth, lawrence, and steve. you all said right when daniel penny got arrested. you said people are going to be hesitant on the new york city subways throughout this city and quite frankly across the country to step in when stepping in is needed to protect their fellow man or woman. we see it. here. this is the function of what happens. when you have a da alvin bragg thinking is he going to lead restorative justice to the world. soft on criminals to rehabilitate them. what you have a situation where criminals feel like they can act however they want. and then you have a guy like daniel penny doing the right thing, gets jammed up to use the words of curtis. and the whole

los angeles, who asks why not design the helmet with a soft exterior to decelerate the actual impact? to begin with, it's exactly what we were just talking about. josh there's these new caps. guardianave seen these. they have sort of this soft exterior and when you think about that, you think, well, how does that really help? well, what you're trying to do is slow the rate at which the brain actually decelerates. so the brain is accelerating. what really causes the problem is the sudden deceleration. so if you have something on the outside of the helmet in this case which can sort of cushion some of that blow, slow down that deceleration, that could help. again, not concussion proof, but it sort of works in the same way that a car, when it gets into an accident crumples. so it slows down the rate of deceleration. and really reduces the force. for example, on the driver. that sort of thing can happen with the brain as well. so i hope that helps answer the questions. pamela, back to you. >> all right, sanjay, thanks so much. well, it is truly the end of an era after more than 150 shows across five continents, taylor swift's groundbreaking eras tour is coming to an end. the final perf
