Speaker 1: You are about to listen to the Doctor Dahlia Show,
Speaker 1: sassy stimulating talk radio and now here's Doctor Dahlia.
Speaker 2: Doctor Doctor tell me true I supposed to do?
Speaker 3: All right, we're back on the Dona Delia Show one
Speaker 3: eight seven seven Doctor Dalli one eight seven seven d
Speaker 3: O C D A L I. One job I would
Speaker 3: never want is being White House Press Secretary. It's challenging.
Speaker 3: I think it would be very very exciting, but man
Speaker 3: to deal with the media, to do the hours and
Speaker 3: hours and hours of research, especially you know, when you
Speaker 3: have young kids at home, that's daunting.
Speaker 4: And I've always respected those in that role.
Speaker 3: Uh, even Karine Jean Pierre, even though she had to
Speaker 3: keep you know, looking things up and she had a
Speaker 3: very very difficult justifying what her absent president was doing.
Speaker 3: You know, I respected her for the job that she
Speaker 3: had to do because it's not an easy job. So
Speaker 3: when White House pres Secretary Carolyn Levitt announced that she
Speaker 3: is leaving her role at the end of August, President
Speaker 3: Trump actually announced it. He had a very very nice
Speaker 3: post on that He described her as one of my
Speaker 3: most trusted aides. Will be departing her role at the
Speaker 3: end of the month. So she could spend more time
Speaker 3: with her beautiful young children and family, a decision I
Speaker 3: totally understand and respect. It made sense, you know, I
Speaker 3: I know the media wants to make a big deal
Speaker 3: of this. Well it's a shake up, and she's mad
Speaker 3: at him, and there's but he said she's going to
Speaker 3: continue to serve as an outside advisor.
Speaker 4: She's not going away.
Speaker 3: And one thing I've noticed about Trump in this second
Speaker 3: administration is the people he replaced don't go away for good.
Speaker 3: Christy Nomani gave another position to you know, when he
Speaker 3: you know, replaced his uh wasn't his chief of staff.
Speaker 3: I believe it was a national security advisor. I mean
Speaker 3: he gave them other roles because when he finds a
Speaker 3: person that you know, he feels he could work with,
Speaker 3: you know, he he I gotta take.
Speaker 4: It for the flexibility.
Speaker 3: You know, you would you know, Trump won, you know,
Speaker 3: his first administration didn't seem like he had that flexibility.
Speaker 3: Second time around, he seems to really really be working
Speaker 3: with his team. I mean, Carolyn Levitt had gotten to
Speaker 3: take months of a time off of maternity leave, and
Speaker 3: then even with this, he's really really supporting her. She
Speaker 3: was I believe twenty eight years old when she was hired,
Speaker 3: the youngest ever White House Press secretary. I believe she
Speaker 3: even ran for Congress previously.
Speaker 4: I mean, so she's a.
Speaker 3: Very very well accomplished woman so young, and I was
Speaker 3: even surprised that she came back, you know, having young kids.
Speaker 4: At home and babies at home.
Speaker 3: It's it's not an easy job because it's not that
Speaker 3: you're just having those pressers every day. It's your your
Speaker 3: You need to do the research and you need to
Speaker 3: be able to answer the question. She didn't keep looking
Speaker 3: in a binder like kringe Jumpierre had to or Jen
Speaker 3: Saki pulling things out of her ear. Yeah, I mean
Speaker 3: she actually, you know, was what would give answers where
Speaker 3: she was in the room and and so you know,
Speaker 3: the amount of research, in the amount of face to
Speaker 3: faces she needed to make that happen. And it was
Speaker 3: fascinating to see when she was on maternity leave. Mark Rubio,
Speaker 3: Pete Hegsath, JD. Vans try to hold these pressers. One
Speaker 3: thing that the Trump administration has done has been very
Speaker 3: very transparent, where you get to see and hear you
Speaker 3: know a lot of what's going on. And so when
Speaker 3: or when Carolin Lovitt was on attorney duty attorney leave.
Speaker 3: They wanted to make sure they were still giving the
Speaker 3: pressers and giving the briefings. But you saw that that
Speaker 3: was not their wheelhouse. And they joked about it, and
Speaker 3: they were very humble about it, and and I thought
Speaker 3: that was very uh uh, it was good.
Speaker 4: It really humanized this ministration.
Speaker 3: Actually, Carolyn Levitt was involved in Trump's first term.
Speaker 4: I don't know the exact role, but she was.
Speaker 3: Working and apparently when Kaylee mcnaaney uh did not return.
Speaker 3: I don't know the background behind that, Carolyn Levitt went
Speaker 3: into a role and I think she has been she.
Speaker 4: I think Carolyn mcnaney did awesome.
Speaker 3: I think many of these individuals that have held that
Speaker 3: position have done awesome. But you know, she wrote on
Speaker 3: social media, the truth is, since returning to the White
Speaker 3: House after the birth of my daughter, I felt in
Speaker 3: my heart that cannot I cannot be the best mom
Speaker 3: my two young children deserve while devoting the constant time,
Speaker 3: energy and attention required of the White House Press Secretary.
Speaker 3: So I think that's very very honest. I think that's
Speaker 3: very bold. And when she had her first baby in
Speaker 3: July of twenty twenty four, she took four days of
Speaker 3: leave because she was on the campaign trail with candidate Trump.
Speaker 4: And then now with the second.
Speaker 3: Child, you know, you know she you know it was
Speaker 3: I believe she took I think six months was it.
Speaker 3: But still and I get that. I mean, as a mom,
Speaker 3: I have always felt guilty because I took two weeks.
Speaker 3: I only got two weeks maternity with my first child.
Speaker 3: I could have taken more and then been off pay
Speaker 3: and put off residency and graduation. And luckily I was
Speaker 3: able to work where I could take the baby to work,
Speaker 3: breastfeed and do things, and we made it work. And
Speaker 3: then with the second child three days, I went back
Speaker 3: to work.
Speaker 4: In three days.
Speaker 3: And I've always felt guilty about that, you know, brought
Speaker 3: the children to work, tried to breastfeed there, work.
Speaker 4: With them at work.
Speaker 3: But I you know, what would it have been like
Speaker 3: what would my bonding have been if I got to
Speaker 3: be home with them? Now now, you know, they always
Speaker 3: tell me, Mom, don't feel guilty. You know, we're glad
Speaker 3: we didn't see all the.
Speaker 4: Time, you know, But but for me, I'll always feel guilty.
Speaker 4: And one thing about Carol Leven is she's a smart girl.
Speaker 3: And even though what she has done for Trump has
Speaker 3: been huge and her work.
Speaker 4: Is very, very beneficial for the country.
Speaker 3: Well, I think she's seen what a lot of us
Speaker 3: as moms, you'll go through and choosing I really want
Speaker 3: to be with the kids. They need me, and and
Speaker 3: and and you know, I I commend her for that.
Speaker 3: I couldn't do that had a new practice, had you know,
Speaker 3: had patience, nobody could run and and and you know,
Speaker 3: do the office properly. And so it was three days.
Speaker 3: I'm back still bleeding still, you know. But but my
Speaker 3: my thinking was, you know, my you know, the kids
Speaker 3: sleep a.
Speaker 4: Lot, They're always asleep, So I'm like, I could be working.
Speaker 3: I'm a workaholic though, too uh so. Good for her,
Speaker 3: you know, no, I don't think there's a lot of drama.
Speaker 4: I I really do believe that.
Speaker 3: You know, when you have a child and you leave
Speaker 3: them to go to work, you feel like you're.
Speaker 4: Leaving a limb.
Speaker 3: In fact, with my first child, I was working at
Speaker 3: the UFC Quick Care System, which I was really really
Speaker 3: grateful for because they hired right out of residency. But
Speaker 3: the shifts were twelve hour shifts and they went from
Speaker 3: eleven am to eleven at night. But at eleven at
Speaker 3: night you still let people like walking in, so you
Speaker 3: didn't really get out of there till one in the morning.
Speaker 3: And since it was about forty five minutes to an
Speaker 3: hour from my house, I basically would say goodbye to
Speaker 3: my child at ten fifteen in the morning, and I
Speaker 3: wouldn't see them until I woke up the next day
Speaker 3: because they'd be asleep.
Speaker 4: Usually at two in the morning.
Speaker 3: When I got home, I wouldn't and I only saw
Speaker 3: my kid for about maybe an hour a day.
Speaker 4: Oh, it was horrible, and you know, my husband would.
Speaker 3: Try to bring the child to work and it was,
Speaker 3: you know, so good for her. It's not easy to
Speaker 3: balance that, and so I think that you know, she
Speaker 3: made the right decision. One eight seven seven dot, Dolly,

Speaker 5: Hi.
Speaker 6: It's Mark Falter, hosts of the Financial Fitness Show. I
Speaker 6: strongly believe that no one should ever pay one penny
Speaker 6: more in taxes than they are legally obligated. Unfortunately, for
Speaker 6: most hard working Americans, this just isn't the case. Why
Speaker 6: because most people spend more time planning next weekends getaway
Speaker 6: than trying to ensure they're going to pay less than taxes.
Speaker 6: My Financial Fitness team has put together some materials that
Speaker 6: I know are going to help you. It's the Tax
Speaker 6: Savings Kit. Tax Savings Kit includes three things, free tax analysis,
Speaker 6: top ten ways to pay less than taxes, and an
Speaker 6: investor's guide to taxes. Now, how do you get it simple?
Speaker 6: Eight six six seven sixty four six three five and
Speaker 6: eight sixty six seven six four two six three five.

Speaker 3: All right, we are back on The Doctor Dohlia Show
Speaker 3: one eight seven seven, Doctor Dollar one eight seven seven The.
Speaker 4: D O C D A L I.
Speaker 3: Big thanks to Talk Media Network for making the show happen.
Speaker 3: Big thanks to Daniel, our producer, and big thanks to
Speaker 3: you all for tuning in. We really do appreciate it.

Speaker 3: So we are coming up on the twenty fifth anniversary
Speaker 3: of September eleventh, and it is frightening to think that
Speaker 3: there would be anybody in our beautiful country who is
Speaker 3: benefiting from America's freedom to actually ascribe to the thought
Speaker 3: that nine to eleven was justified, that Americans deserved it.
Speaker 3: And you know, I was listening to Hassan Piker and
Speaker 3: when he had said and spoke about Hamas and nine
Speaker 3: to eleven and and how you know the victims deserved it,
Speaker 3: it just rang like what you would hear these abusers say,
Speaker 3: you know who would beat you with belts or or
Speaker 3: rape you or attack you, saying, well, you brought it
Speaker 3: on yourself.
Speaker 4: Here's some of the audio that Hassani American deserve, America
Speaker 4: deserved nine to eleven. Dude, I'm saying it.
Speaker 2: Doesn't matter if can rapes happen on October seven, like
Speaker 2: that doesn't change the dynamic for me even this much.
Speaker 2: So that's the other part of this problem that many
Speaker 2: people that can't contend with.
Speaker 4: Disgusting.
Speaker 3: And I understand, you know, Hassan Piker wants to get
Speaker 3: you know, YouTube hits and followers and all that, But
Speaker 3: then you have this idiot, oh, supporting candidates, and the
Speaker 3: candidates what the hell are they thinking sharing a stage
Speaker 3: with somebody like that, and you're hearing growing sentiment. I
Speaker 3: don't know if you go on the you know, the web,
Speaker 3: and if you if you listen, you know, to these rants,
Speaker 3: but you have people that are ascribing and here we
Speaker 3: are coming up on the twenty fifth anniversary of one
Speaker 3: of the most horrific attacks on American soil, say, we
Speaker 3: brought it on ourselves. That that really frustrates me. And
Speaker 3: the fact that the candidates like Abdula say Ed squeaked
Speaker 3: by to actually win the primary. Now he has since
Speaker 3: because he's been sharing the stage with us on Piker
Speaker 3: discounted it. But you're like, wait a second, you've really,
Speaker 3: you know, decide to hitch you know, your trade to
Speaker 3: his wagon. And and it's not just a one off.
Speaker 3: When Hassan Piker felt the rapes were justified by hamas,
Speaker 3: are you kidding me? Babies being beheaded, babies thrown into
Speaker 3: into ovens, kids being raped with their pelvis shattered, and
Speaker 3: and and you have somebody that is online gaining followers,
Speaker 3: gaining traction, saying well.
Speaker 4: They did it to themselves. No.
Speaker 3: And it's interesting because you know, I've never had a
Speaker 3: patient who was a Hassan Piker. I did have a
Speaker 3: patient who was one of the nine to eleven terrorists,
Speaker 3: didn't know who he was at the time, came in
Speaker 3: saw me for a simple medical issue in an urgent
Speaker 3: care and then it was, you know, weeks later, I
Speaker 3: found out, Oh my god, that was one of the
Speaker 3: World Trade Center bombers, one of the ones that flew
Speaker 3: the plane into.
Speaker 4: The World Trade Center.
Speaker 3: But most of my experience has been with abusers, domestic abusers,
Speaker 3: where you have patients going, look, they brought it on themselves.
Speaker 4: Okay, she egged be on. She said this. She was
Speaker 4: wearing a short skirt. She was asking for it.
Speaker 3: What do we do when we see an abuser who
Speaker 3: turns around and blames.
Speaker 4: The victim for what they did to them. We throw
Speaker 4: them in jail.
Speaker 3: They're a piece of crap, they're psychotic, they're evil.
Speaker 4: Yet all of a sudden, now.
Speaker 3: Since October seventh, and since you have all these people
Speaker 3: feel like they're going to gain traction, they're saying the
Speaker 3: same thing.
Speaker 4: You working on the fifty seventh floor of the World.
Speaker 3: Trade Center and you being either blown to bits by
Speaker 3: the airplane or burning to death on the floor, or
Speaker 3: feeling forced to jump out of the window and jump
Speaker 3: to your death because it's too hot for you to
Speaker 3: try to still stand on that floor, being told that, yeah,
Speaker 3: you brought that on yourself.
Speaker 4: There's just no logic.
Speaker 3: And the fact that you have Americans celebrate that attitude ciscot,
Speaker 3: you know, comas massacred people, they also massacred Americans.
Speaker 4: The massacre at LGBTQ community members, what.
Speaker 3: Where's the outrage instead, it's while they brought on themselves. Really,
Speaker 3: why are we allowing that sort of thinking we didn't
Speaker 3: allow it before.
Speaker 4: You're blaming the victim.
Speaker 3: In fact, one of the things people are concerned about
Speaker 3: with Sharia law is some of the rape victims actually
Speaker 3: get punished because it gets twisted into consensual sex and
Speaker 3: if they had sex, you know, out of marriage or
Speaker 3: or so not only the victim is getting raped, but
Speaker 3: they're also getting criminalized for the rape. You can never
Speaker 3: ever take a victim and twist it around and say, well,
Speaker 3: I'm blaming them.
Speaker 4: There is never a justification for rape or murder. I'm sorry.
Speaker 3: And so you know, I'm looking at now these candidates going, well,
Speaker 3: you know what, Hazan Piker says, that's not my campaign.
Speaker 3: You know, I just wanted as followers, I really and
Speaker 3: then let's look at that. Is that really the group
Speaker 3: you want to represent? You know, you have these idiots
Speaker 3: out there that are gaining some major following, all right,
Speaker 3: and sadly we have people that are disgusting, and they
Speaker 3: like to follow those who are disgusting, and the fact
Speaker 3: that you're choosing to align with that means you have
Speaker 3: a plan to keep those you know, when you're running
Speaker 3: for office right, not only do you have to you know,
Speaker 3: campaign and promote yourself, but you got to engage that voter.
Speaker 3: And you got to make sure that voter will last
Speaker 3: the what eighty seven days or.
Speaker 4: Whenever the election is going to be. How do you
Speaker 4: engage them?
Speaker 3: Well, you're supposed to engage them by making sure that
Speaker 3: what you're doing is good for Michigan, or what you're
Speaker 3: doing is good for California or Nevada, et cetera.
Speaker 4: You're supposed to make sure that your policies are strong.
Speaker 3: But if you are at the outset trying to launch
Speaker 3: to notoriety or try to try to squeak by the
Speaker 3: primary using the supporters of individuals who are anti American
Speaker 3: are pro nine to eleven pro hamas, how are you
Speaker 3: planning to engage him and ensure that they're still not
Speaker 3: only voting for you but donating to you. You're giving
Speaker 3: them something, And so I just don't believe that.
Speaker 4: You're like oh no, no, no, no, no, no, that's not me.
Speaker 3: That's not how I think. You need to be stronger
Speaker 3: than that. And and and I just don't feel like that.
Speaker 3: I mean for them to be able to stand in
Speaker 3: the same room. If I was in the same room
Speaker 3: with Hassan Parker, I would be vomiting. I couldn't be
Speaker 3: near this piece of crap.
Speaker 4: But the fact that they could. We had a pool party. Yeah,
Speaker 4: Hazzan Piker was there for Grand Platner.
Speaker 3: He's there, I mean, I mean and a Francesca Hong,
Speaker 3: Now she didn't make it again, still close, you know.
Speaker 3: And and boy did she make sure that she was
Speaker 3: very well visualized with Hassan Piker.
Speaker 4: And this isn't just about Hassan Piker.
Speaker 3: This is about there's an attitude that Hassan Piker is
Speaker 3: voiced that you have Americans going, yeah, yeah, yeah, you
Speaker 3: don't know what the hell you're talking about.
Speaker 4: Really, if somebody shot you, would you say, you know what?
Speaker 4: I deserved that.
Speaker 3: Now you have a lot of victims of domestic abuse
Speaker 3: that feel that way, Well, he cheated on me, because
Speaker 3: it's my fault. No, if anybody cheated on you, they're
Speaker 3: a piece of crap. Okay, No, it's not your fault.
Speaker 3: And there's a manipulation that happens to make victims think
Speaker 3: it's their fault. Why because then it turns them into
Speaker 3: it makes them submit, it makes them it changes the
Speaker 3: hierarchy of power, which means an individual who wants to
Speaker 3: promote or align with that thinking plans to subvert you.
Speaker 4: You need to do what I say.
Speaker 3: You need to stay in line, or bad things are
Speaker 3: gonna happen because you are, because you're gonna bring it
Speaker 3: on yourself. So the idea of why I don't want
Speaker 3: to say I don't want to do this, I don't
Speaker 3: want to say this. I don't want to because then
Speaker 3: it's going to happen and then all only have myself
Speaker 3: to blame.
Speaker 4: No, that's not America.
Speaker 3: And it just blows my mind that the thinking we
Speaker 3: wouldn't allow and and would and mind you free thought,
Speaker 3: freedom of speech, but would be like really, I mean
Speaker 3: we would be like, okay, you're you're you're sick.
Speaker 4: In the head.
Speaker 3: Is now a well yeah, yeah, he's got a point.
Speaker 3: No he doesn't have a point. That I'm really really
Speaker 3: nervous because we are going to be you know, observing
Speaker 3: nine to eleven very shortly.
Speaker 4: Here and I'm sure.
Speaker 3: There's going to be idiots out there that are going
Speaker 3: to be citing and reciting what Hassan Parker's pews, and
Speaker 3: the fact that we have candidates that aren't really doing
Speaker 3: what they really need to do on that, it's disgusting.
Speaker 3: One eight seven seven out Sally, don't go away.

Speaker 3: Hand the bag on the Dachadeli Show one eight seven
Speaker 3: seven Doc Dali one eight seven seven d C.
Speaker 4: D A l I.
Speaker 3: So I didn't know school had started in my neck
Speaker 3: of the woods until I was driving down the street
Speaker 3: and there was somebody in front of me who just
Speaker 3: slammed on his brakes.
Speaker 4: I'm like, what the heck are you doing? Well, it's
Speaker 4: because there was a school zone.
Speaker 3: I was like, ah, schools beckon, and I'm looking at
Speaker 3: this idiot, going why did you have to slam on
Speaker 3: the brakes? Don't you just always in general year round
Speaker 3: consider that, you know that, you just get used to
Speaker 3: the point that whenever you're around a school, there's kids, right,
Speaker 3: it's a neighborhood. Well, schools are reopening, students are now
Speaker 3: returning to busy street school zones. They're on foot, they're
Speaker 3: on bikes, cars, buses. So unfortunately there's a spike in
Speaker 3: safety risks.
Speaker 4: They say.
Speaker 3: While this recent progress is welcome, the projected six seven
Speaker 3: hundred and thirty two pedestrian fatalities in twenty twenty five
Speaker 3: sixty seven hundred. We're still five percent above the twenty
Speaker 3: nineteen level, the last year before the pandemic caused widespread
Speaker 3: changes in traffic patterns and productions and enforcement. They said
Speaker 3: those deaths had a financial toll of nearly ninety four
Speaker 3: billion for productivity losses, medical treatments, emergency services, legal fees,
Speaker 3: among other costs. So I'm really really grateful to my
Speaker 3: next guest, Adam Snyder, a pedestrian safety expert with the
Speaker 3: Governor's Highway Safety Association, about what we saw in twenty
Speaker 3: twenty five and why it's so imperative to raise awareness
Speaker 3: about pedestrian safety and practical ways to spur preventative action. Adam,
Speaker 3: thank you so much for joining us.
Speaker 5: Hi, great to be with you. Thank you so much
Speaker 5: for having me in highlighting this issue.
Speaker 3: Good.
Speaker 4: Good. Yeah.
Speaker 3: So, you know, if somebody doesn't have kids, they don't
Speaker 3: they might not realize that. Yeah, school's back in So
Speaker 3: what do people need to keep in mind as the
Speaker 3: school year has started for students across the country.
Speaker 5: Yes, while school is back in session some parts of
Speaker 5: the country and coming back soon for other parts, I
Speaker 5: do have two young kids myself. And we're going back
Speaker 5: in Washington, d C. In a few weeks here. So
Speaker 5: if it's not happened yet in your area, it is
Speaker 5: happening very soon. And it means there's more kids out
Speaker 5: and about on the road, more parents accompanying them. That
Speaker 5: means kids standing on the corner of the street waiting
Speaker 5: for a school bus. It means kids walking to school,
Speaker 5: biking to school. It means parents walking and biking with
Speaker 5: those kids. It means parents driving kids to school. It
Speaker 5: just means so much more activity and action out on
Speaker 5: the road. And so it's just a good time to
Speaker 5: remind everyone to pay attention to what's happening on the road.
Speaker 5: And you mentioned that driver slamming on the brakes. I
Speaker 5: completely agree with you. You certainly should that should not
Speaker 5: be happening. We should all be aware of these school zones.
Speaker 5: But I'm sort of curious, you know, I wonder if
Speaker 5: he was looking at his phone or something else. I
Speaker 5: wonder if this person was looking at their phone or
Speaker 5: something else instead of paying attention to the signs up
Speaker 5: ahead of them.
Speaker 3: You know, I love my kids, and and but I
Speaker 3: would joke that when school finally came around you know,
Speaker 3: and I took them to school.
Speaker 4: I wouldn't even stop the car. I'm like, get out, no,
Speaker 4: stop the car, you know.
Speaker 3: And and also a big thing that I'm seeing parents
Speaker 3: are forgetting is kids getting into the car. I am
Speaker 3: seeing so many parents start to drive while the kid
Speaker 3: is still halfway out of the car. And in fact,
Speaker 3: I've even caught my husband accidentally start the car what not.
Speaker 3: And and so you know what what my mom used
Speaker 3: to do to to prevent that from happening is she
Speaker 3: would leave her door open, and she would not close
Speaker 3: her door until she saw all the kids back in
Speaker 3: the car and seat belted. So one thing I really
Speaker 3: want to caution parents of is if somebody's jumping into
Speaker 3: the back seat, you might just add her as a reflex,
Speaker 3: start to drive, but ensure they are in the car
Speaker 3: and belt it before you start gunning it.
Speaker 5: Oh gosh, yes, yeah, well should never really gun it
Speaker 5: that much. But I you, yeah, you know, I am
Speaker 5: cheezing here, but yeah, you are a spot on in
Speaker 5: that point. And I just say that, you know, that's
Speaker 5: that's why it's so important to focus on what you're
Speaker 5: doing the task of driving. And that doesn't just mean
Speaker 5: you know, looking at the road right ahead of you,
Speaker 5: which is critically important. That means those early stages like
Speaker 5: you were talking about, of getting everyone in the car,
Speaker 5: making sure everyone is buckled, making sure no one's behind
Speaker 5: the vehicle if you're backing. You know, most luckily cars
Speaker 5: now have backup cameras. That wasn't always a thing. So
Speaker 5: you know, that sort of safety mindset starts from the
Speaker 5: very beginning before you even sort of unlock the doors
Speaker 5: to the car, and as the driver, you are sort
Speaker 5: of responsible for the safety of everyone in the car
Speaker 5: that you're driving. So so important just that I think
Speaker 5: to from start to finish at the trip to set
Speaker 5: aside distractions and really sort of focus on getting everyone
Speaker 5: there safely.
Speaker 3: The Governor's how I Safety Association twenty five findings there
Speaker 3: was a decline in pedestrian desk but we're still higher
Speaker 3: than before the pandemic. So talk to us about the
Speaker 3: progress we're actually making.
Speaker 5: Yeah, So we've been tracking this data for fifteen years now,
Speaker 5: and we did last year find six seven hundred pedestrian deaths.
Speaker 5: That's about eighteen every single day that's across the entire country.
Speaker 5: That is the third straight year of fewer fatalities, and
Speaker 5: it's the largest decrease we've seen during these recent years
Speaker 5: of decreases, So that's positive and worth noting. We still
Speaker 5: are unfortunately above pre pandemic levels, and the only acceptable
Speaker 5: number that was zero. You know, no one should be
Speaker 5: dying taking a walk or walking through a parking lot.
Speaker 5: You know, that's just completely unacceptable. So we'll never really
Speaker 5: rest until we get to zero. But there is some
Speaker 5: good news, and I think it's just worth noting because
Speaker 5: we've had such awful news for so long. Frankly, you know,
Speaker 5: we had a forty year high in pedestrian deaths just
Speaker 5: a few years ago. All these dangerous driving behaviors like
Speaker 5: distraction and then impair driving and speeding really skyrocketed during
Speaker 5: the pandemic. At the same time, enforcement decreased, so a
Speaker 5: lot of the factors are sort of coming into play there.
Speaker 5: But it's worth worth sort of noting that progress have
Speaker 5: a lot more clearly a long way to go till
Speaker 5: we get to zero, but to at least worth noting
Speaker 5: that the numbers are moving in the right direction.
Speaker 4: Is it across the bord or are there just certain
Speaker 4: areas where we're seeing improvement.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's largely across the board. Luckily, for a long
Speaker 5: time it's we were seeing very sort of sporadic progress.
Speaker 5: But now, for example, in twenty twenty five, there were
Speaker 5: looking nationally, there were twenty eight states and the DC
Speaker 5: that posted fewer depths compared to only seventeen that had
Speaker 5: an increase. So we are making progress to the states
Speaker 5: in the in the positive direction are outnumbering the states
Speaker 5: moving the wrong way. But you know, again, we can't
Speaker 5: really stop until all fifty states and territories are decreasing
Speaker 5: every year until we get to zero, and it's it's
Speaker 5: safe for everyone to take a walk.
Speaker 4: You It takes money, and it takes funds, you know,
Speaker 4: to improve pedestrian safety, and sadly, when we lose lives,
Speaker 4: there's financial ramifications of that, you know, So talk to
Speaker 4: us about the financial costs of these tragedies.
Speaker 5: Yeah, there's financial inmifigations. And it's also a way to
Speaker 5: sort of talk to other people who might not have
Speaker 5: been impacted by this crisis and maybe, you know, maybe
Speaker 5: they can't relate to being hit by a car, but
Speaker 5: they can relate to some of the financial side of it.
Speaker 5: If you look at things like the productivity losses, medical bills,
Speaker 5: emergency medical service, legal fees, things like that. You can
Speaker 5: do some math and based on six seven hundred pedestrian
Speaker 5: deaths last year, that had a financial toll of more
Speaker 5: than ninety billion dollars. And that's billion with a B.
Speaker 5: That's in a pretty mind boggling And that's just one year,
Speaker 5: just pedestrian deaths, and that doesn't even capture the sort
Speaker 5: of emotional mental health toll. Thinking about our kids and
Speaker 5: back to school season, there's so many kids that are
Speaker 5: scared to cross the street to get on the school
Speaker 5: bus or to sort of leave that safe space and
Speaker 5: because they've had near misses or been hit by vehicles.
Speaker 5: So the financial we can sort of run the estimates
Speaker 5: on the numbers, but that doesn't really sort of capture
Speaker 5: some of the emotional trauma that so many kids are
Speaker 5: going through.
Speaker 4: In the last thirty seconds.
Speaker 3: What other strategies and recommendations you have to keep pedestrians safe?
Speaker 5: Yes, A key one, no matter how you're getting around
Speaker 5: on the road is be careful of how you're using
Speaker 5: your phone. Turn on do not disturb if you're driving,
Speaker 5: so you don't get distracting alert if you're walking or biking,
Speaker 5: consider keeping your phone in your pocket. You can actively
Speaker 5: do something about distracted driving and that helps keep you safe,
Speaker 5: or distraction on the road in general. That helps keep
Speaker 5: you safe, it helps keep everyone around you safe. So
Speaker 5: it's just one one quick, simple thing that people can
Speaker 5: do to help keep themselves and others safe.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and where can my listeners go for more information?
Speaker 5: Yeah, GHSA has partnered with State Farm for a number
Speaker 5: of years to try to really change the culture on
Speaker 5: distracted driving. So you can visit statefarm dot com flash

Speaker 4: Five and reback of that.
Speaker 3: I said, Oh yeah, show one eight seven seven DOTI
Speaker 3: one eight seven seven D O C D A L. I.
Speaker 4: So you know I'm mixed on this.
Speaker 3: I I don't think I have an opinion yet, but
Speaker 3: nine one one operators being a I do you like
Speaker 3: that idea?
Speaker 4: Do you not like that idea?
Speaker 3: Lookay eyes infusing everywhere AI is in your medicine. Now,
Speaker 3: it's it's in your education. It's it's gonna be making
Speaker 3: life or death decisions for you, dude.
Speaker 4: Trust that. Some people say, hell.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they don't like people being behind the call. They
Speaker 3: say their nine one one call isn't getting answered. What
Speaker 3: it does, it's somebody that's very cold. God blessed these
Speaker 3: nine one dispatchers. I don't believe that, but but that's
Speaker 3: what people say that.
Speaker 4: They're so busy trying to get information.
Speaker 3: That you're like, help me, help me, help me, and
Speaker 3: they're busy trying to get the information, and there seems
Speaker 3: to be a disconnect and and there's even been some
Speaker 3: cases where the nine one one operator blew off the caller.
Speaker 3: I think there was a murder that happened and the
Speaker 3: person that was going to be the alleged victim called
Speaker 3: nine one one and the operator didn't act on it
Speaker 3: and blew them off, and then the person ends up
Speaker 3: getting killed. So there's been those criticisms. On the other end,
Speaker 3: there's been the criticisms of you know, when there is
Speaker 3: an accident or something going on, the nine one one
Speaker 3: board gets completely overwhelmed for the same event and then
Speaker 3: the lines are clogged and if you have AI that
Speaker 3: could then you know, you know, make that more efficient if.
Speaker 4: A nine to one one operator is overworked working.
Speaker 3: Double shifts, because not everybody wants to be a nine
Speaker 3: one operator. They could be tired, they could you know,
Speaker 3: maybe not you know, give the CPR advice, you know,
Speaker 3: and and the first responding protocols as well as they
Speaker 3: could if they had slept.
Speaker 4: You know, twelve hours earlier.
Speaker 3: Uh and and so there's a lot of back and
Speaker 3: forth on if we should do it.
Speaker 4: Well, who's trialing it? New Orleans?
Speaker 3: So New Orleans, excuse me, has become the first major
Speaker 3: US city to publicly acknowledgy. Yeah.
Speaker 4: Yeah, they're using AI. That's the key publicly acknowledge.
Speaker 3: I'm sure other cities are already utilizing AI technology, especially
Speaker 3: if they don't have the staff. And supporters are saying
Speaker 3: this is going to reduce dispatcher overload, improve response times
Speaker 3: for life threatening emergencies, but critics are like, are we
Speaker 3: sure about this? So the Orleans Parish Communication District, the
Speaker 3: PCD handles emergency calls for New Orleans, they've deployed an
Speaker 3: AI powered system, according to Newsweek, developed by emergency communications
Speaker 3: technology company Carbine. They say the technology is not replacing
Speaker 3: human dispatchers. It's being used to identify and handle duplicate
Speaker 3: reports of incidents that are already known to emergency services,
Speaker 3: particularly traffic accidents during rush hour. According to the OPCD
Speaker 3: executive director Carl Fashold, dispatchers are getting dozens of calls
Speaker 3: from out the same crash nine to one. One calls
Speaker 3: are generally answered in the order they arrive, multiple reports
Speaker 3: about a single incident, and then slow responses to other
Speaker 3: emergencies are card attacks, shooting, house fires.
Speaker 4: Agreed with that the AI system is designed.
Speaker 3: To determine whether a call or is simply reporting an
Speaker 3: incident already logged into the system, and if so, free
Speaker 3: up dispatchers to focus on higher priority emergencies. Now, unfortunately,
Speaker 3: you could have two accidents at the same time. So
Speaker 3: we've got to make sure that AI is being properly trained.
Speaker 3: We don't want your call being blown off. Now somebody
Speaker 3: can say, oh, doctor Dahlia, AI is too smart.
Speaker 4: They won't do that.
Speaker 3: Really, have you ever tried to apply for a job.
Speaker 3: What does the AI bought?
Speaker 4: Do they reject you? They're like, wait a second, you
Speaker 4: didn't even give me a chance.
Speaker 3: You didn't even I did you rejected me, and then
Speaker 3: I got an email saying, oh yeah, we're about.
Speaker 4: To look at your your application.
Speaker 3: Really there's faults, and so you're concerned that if you
Speaker 3: call and it's just too similar to the call prior,
Speaker 3: is it going to I mean, I mean right now,
Speaker 3: I'm not a fan of AI. Like what I went
Speaker 3: through with Twitter Twitter X thought either somebody hacked into
Speaker 3: the system or they believed that my reposting a picture
Speaker 3: from the met Gala, which wasn't bad, it wasn't controversial,
Speaker 3: it was you know, one of the dresses was spam
Speaker 3: blocked me for life, that's AI. Is my call gonna
Speaker 3: get blocked? Are they going to think I'm spam because
Speaker 3: I'm calling about a medical emergency and it just doesn't like.
Speaker 4: The phone number or the zip code. So I'm a
Speaker 4: little nervous about that.
Speaker 3: Even though yes, humans could screw around with other humans,
Speaker 3: I am noticing I'm having more issues with AI than
Speaker 3: I have had with humans. So according to the International
Speaker 3: Business Times, officials say the technology was developed after identifying
Speaker 3: a recurring pattern of call surges tied to traffic accent as.
Speaker 3: The district reportedly work with Carbine to train the system
Speaker 3: using real nine to one to one recordings in local terminology,
Speaker 3: including New Orleans street names and regional speech patterns. They
Speaker 3: say the deployment comes as Emergency Communications center's nationwide continue
Speaker 3: to grapple with staffing shortages. OPCDSS roughly one third of
Speaker 3: its intake positions have remained unfilled. So this could save time,
Speaker 3: it could lives, especially if you don't have staff.
Speaker 4: And you know, this is what blows my mind.
Speaker 3: You have all these people losing their jobs, all these
Speaker 3: people not having jobs. Yet you keep hearing on the
Speaker 3: other end that there are staff, there's they're staffing unfilled.
Speaker 3: Is it because people don't want to get trained. Is
Speaker 3: it that they don't know that these jobs exist, or
Speaker 3: is it that they don't want the jobs.
Speaker 4: It's really really difficult to be a nine one one dispatcher.
Speaker 3: God bless them for sitting there hearing somebody die, or
Speaker 3: somebody fearing they're going to be attacked, or somebody who
Speaker 3: was just attacked or their leg blown off. It's not easy.
Speaker 3: And a lot of these, a lot of these are
Speaker 3: nine one dispatchers I see for disability exams because they
Speaker 3: have PTSD. So but the critics are like, we got
Speaker 3: a problem here. These are voice based systems. What if
Speaker 3: they misunderstand the callers. What if they failed to recognize
Speaker 3: distress or make incorrect assumptions in chaotic situations.
Speaker 4: So let's say there's somebody.
Speaker 3: In your house and AI is trained with the nine
Speaker 3: one want call help, help, there's an accident, there's this,
Speaker 3: there's this. So they're hearing the breath, they're hearing the
Speaker 3: high pitch, they're hearing the in the intonations of your voice.
Speaker 4: Yet if somebody's in your house, there's somebody in the house,
Speaker 4: they're coming closer. It's a different voice. It's a different.
Speaker 3: Different intonations, different different inflections because you're trying to call
Speaker 3: nine one one, tell them what's going on while somebody
Speaker 3: is an ear shot. Look at these kids who had
Speaker 3: to who in the vivault was it the Vivaldi school
Speaker 3: shooting where they were in the classroom with the shooter
Speaker 3: right there, trying to call nine one one.
Speaker 4: And trying to do so quietly, So they want to
Speaker 4: get shot. That's the AI needs to be trained on.
Speaker 4: He's in the house.
Speaker 3: Are the are they going to respond to that he's
Speaker 3: in the house, that they might respond to And the
Speaker 3: latter if we have not been able to figure out
Speaker 3: how to learn AI to be able to get our
Speaker 3: job application past the first obstacle, how the hell are
Speaker 3: we going to be able to learn how to tell
Speaker 3: AI what to do with these.
Speaker 4: Nine to one one calls.
Speaker 3: I'm not gonvis a AI knows what they're doing. I
Speaker 3: completely agree that you need an AI system to deal
Speaker 3: with the duplicates a right, because that you cannot clog
Speaker 3: the system.
Speaker 4: We have to make sure that calls can come in right.
Speaker 3: You know, if if there is a an earthquake and
Speaker 3: there's you know, yes, you need to know there's an earthquake,
Speaker 3: but who is calling from one corner? Who's who's trapped
Speaker 3: in another corner?
Speaker 4: You need to know that.
Speaker 3: You need to be able to have that that that.
Speaker 4: System in place.
Speaker 3: And if you don't have enough nine one one dispatchers,
Speaker 3: AI could manage more of the calls. But I just
Speaker 3: don't know if AI is going to pick up on
Speaker 3: the nuances of humans speech and patterns. You also have
Speaker 3: a lot of people that speak monotone. You have many
Speaker 3: people on the autism spectrum that might not have a
Speaker 3: lot of inflection with their voice.
Speaker 4: There's a shooter.
Speaker 3: We need you, AI might not pick up on that,
Speaker 3: and if that's what AI is being trained for based
Speaker 3: on nine one one calls, yep, So you know I'm mixed.
Speaker 3: I want to make sure humans are still around. But
Speaker 3: if humans don't want to become nine to one one operators,
Speaker 3: we got a problem. One eight seven seven out dollary.
Speaker 3: Don't go away, Hi, guys, doctor dally Here. Addictions can
Speaker 3: sneak up on us and come in many forms, whether
Speaker 3: it's drugs, alcohol, sex, video games, porn, or something less
