Topic: Traffic Fatalities

A listener request prompts a discussion on Senator Barbara Boxer's appearance on Bill Maher's show, where she claimed marijuana legalization leads to increased automobile fatalities. The hosts suggest Boxer is using commissioned reports to support her long-standing opposition to drug legalization despite a shifting political landscape.

Senator Barbara Boxer is criticized for her rhetoric regarding gun control and her oath of office. Boxer claimed that if any other cause killed 30,000 Americans annually, the Senate would take immediate action. The hosts point out that automobile accidents kill approximately 33,000 people a year, yet there is no comparable legislative urgency to ban cars.
