Speaker 1: This is Dan Kaplis, and welcome to today's online podcast edition
Speaker 1: of The Dan Kaplis Show. Please be sure to give
Speaker 1: us a five star rating if you'd be so kind,
Speaker 1: and to subscribe, download, and listen to the show every
Speaker 1: single day on your favorite podcast platform. Dan, the fight
Speaker 1: has just begun. Glad you're here.
Speaker 2: Three or three seven one three eight two five five
Speaker 2: the number techs d A N five seven seven three nine.
Speaker 3: So much to dive into today locally.
Speaker 2: Want to get your tips on, want to get your
Speaker 2: tips on how to avoid these horrific fatal crashes involving
Speaker 2: livestock at livestock that does happen as well, but more
Speaker 2: likely in these urban areas such as the.
Speaker 3: Front range of Denver Wildlife. Crossing the road.
Speaker 2: We just saw a woman killed in a collision with
Speaker 2: a moose C. Four seventy and the Denver Metro another
Speaker 2: woman a couple of days ago, you know, killed in
Speaker 2: a rollover avoiding a deer, et cetera. And then I know,
Speaker 2: as we get into our audience up in the mountains
Speaker 2: where I happen to be broadcasting from today, obviously you've
Speaker 2: got your own brand of wildlife challenges up here. So
Speaker 2: what tips do you have as a driver, And this
Speaker 2: is a tougher one, right because no matter how careful
Speaker 2: you or I are out there, all of the sudden,
Speaker 2: you could have something right in front of you. So
Speaker 2: just wondering whether any of the veterans over the years
Speaker 2: have come up with with any ways to protect themselves
Speaker 2: in these situations, whether it's a gadget or a tactic
Speaker 2: or anything you may have, because these are so incredibly tragic.
Speaker 2: Three oh three seven one three eight two five five
Speaker 2: the number techs d A N five seven seven three nine.
Speaker 3: I have a tip, but it's.
Speaker 2: You know, it's it's a challenging one, right because because
Speaker 2: these these safer cars are often more expensive, and there's
Speaker 2: only so much money, you know, every payday, and so
Speaker 2: that's another challenge there. So we're going to talk about
Speaker 2: that because it's one of those things that in danger
Speaker 2: each and every one of us, and more importantly, our
Speaker 2: loved ones, every single day. And we've had these two
Speaker 2: very recent tragedies in the Denver Metro and the moose.
Speaker 2: I mean, who would have expected a moose, you know,
Speaker 2: on C. Four seventy, you know, up by park Meadow.
Speaker 2: So we'll get into that speaking of safety and immediate
Speaker 2: threats to you and your family, particularly if you're listening
Speaker 2: in Colorado. You know, we'll talk some about Krakawana. They
Speaker 2: used to call it marijuana and Colorado it's now Krakawana
Speaker 2: and the horrors of that, and we'll have some real
Speaker 2: life examples, but it will tie into a very important
Speaker 2: story in the Denver Gazette. And listen, if you're not
Speaker 2: a regular reader of the Gazette, you've got Colorado Springs
Speaker 2: and Denver suggest you take a look at it because
Speaker 2: it is really really high level reporting and they've got
Speaker 2: a long tradition of that for a long time, starting
Speaker 2: with the Colorado Springs versions. So they've got a great
Speaker 2: story on overdose deaths increasing in Denver, which I'm sure
Speaker 2: does not surprise you as you listen today, right with
Speaker 2: everything else going on in Denver, but it's still horrific.
Speaker 2: And as you get into the numbers, it's actually mind
Speaker 2: blowing how many people are dying of overdoses in Denver.
Speaker 2: And that doesn't even get into how many other people
Speaker 2: are harmed, but thank God, are saved. So want to
Speaker 2: drill down on causes and fixes, because.
Speaker 3: You know what we're all worried about.
Speaker 2: Right, is first each of these innocent lives lost, and
Speaker 2: then you think of the families who are traumatized beyond that,
Speaker 2: but also it becoming the new normal, because that's one
Speaker 2: of the big cancerous dangers of the left, right, that
Speaker 2: all this horrible stuff just becomes the new normal, and
Speaker 2: that's the way the left wants it. Right is just
Speaker 2: accepted by society, and so no, we cannot allow that
Speaker 2: to happen. We have too much, too much respect for
Speaker 2: the value of each life. Speaking of which, our weekly
Speaker 2: segment with doctor Catherine Wheeler, former abortionist now Saves Lives,
Speaker 2: will she'll join us as she does every Thursday at
Speaker 2: five oh six. And the great thing is that this
Speaker 2: is a time we devote to discussing that the medical
Speaker 2: facts as they apply to the abortion issue, because obviously
Speaker 2: we've been debating for years the big arguments, and thank
Speaker 2: god now with Roe falling, you know that the states
Speaker 2: can actually make these decisions, so there's more focus and
Speaker 2: intensity in these debates. But then we get doctor Wheeler
Speaker 2: bringing in just the facts, ma'am, just the medical facts,
Speaker 2: and I think it's such value added. As we talk
Speaker 2: about the civil rights issue of all of our lifetimes
Speaker 2: do want to touch at some point on Columbia now
Speaker 2: ponying up two hundred million to settle with the Trump
Speaker 2: administration and rioting.
Speaker 3: You know, I don't know where to start on.
Speaker 2: You know that the media nonsense of the day, I'd
Speaker 2: plan to start with. Did you see that peace in
Speaker 2: the Denver Post where they went out of their way
Speaker 2: to report on the South Park mockery of Trump and
Speaker 2: their season opener last night? But obviously the reason the
Speaker 2: Post did it is they wanted to write about the
Speaker 2: part of the South Park hit that was aimed at
Speaker 2: Donald Trump's private parts. So when it gets when it
Speaker 2: gets to the point I'm debating whether it even quoted
Speaker 2: or not. When it gets to the points, you have
Speaker 2: the Denver Post writing a news story just so they
Speaker 2: can use a mocking phrase about Trump's penis. I think
Speaker 2: you've reached a new depth there, right, But that is
Speaker 2: in fact what happened, But it may have been topped
Speaker 2: by ABC News at the top of the show.
Speaker 3: And it's such a tale of two cities, right.
Speaker 2: You've got our local news room, which is phenomenal, world class,
Speaker 2: and then you've got the ABC National News which is garbage.
Speaker 2: It's just leftist propaganda almost every day. And so what
Speaker 2: we heard at the top of the show today was
Speaker 2: pressure on Trump to release quote the full Epstein file,
Speaker 2: when any like kindergarten journalist would understand is no such
Speaker 2: thing as quote the full Epstein file. What is ABC
Speaker 2: really suggesting that the Trump administration should be releasing a
Speaker 2: video and stills of child porn because that would be
Speaker 2: part of the Epstein file or the names of innocent
Speaker 2: people in the sense that they may have been in
Speaker 2: Epstein's orbit but had no involvement whatsoever in any kind
Speaker 2: of child rape or anything like that. Is that really
Speaker 2: what ABC suggesting? But yeah, we all know what ABC's doing.
Speaker 2: Three all three, seven, one, three eight, two five five,
Speaker 2: the number, text d A N five seven, seventh through nine,
Speaker 2: the Pulse, the passing of Hulk Hogan. What's the most
Speaker 2: real sport? And we're not a sports show. We just
Speaker 2: talked sports during breaks. What's the most real sport out there?
Speaker 2: And are there any major sports that you would consider now?
Speaker 3: More like All Star wrestling?
Speaker 2: So we'll throw that into the mix, and as always,
Speaker 2: you can text us d an five seven, seven, three nine.
Speaker 2: I've accepted that this is the normal mode of communication
Speaker 2: these days in radio talk shows, and there's a lot
Speaker 2: we can do with that, right. I like it in
Speaker 2: the sense that we can get a lot quickly, especially
Speaker 2: if textures are kind enough to be short and precise,
Speaker 2: and the snarkier the better.
Speaker 3: We love our haters, but also call s. I'm and
Speaker 3: throw beck.
Speaker 2: I love the calls, and you can get some give
Speaker 2: and take and let it evolve. Three at three seven, one,
Speaker 2: three eight, two five five the number. How you doing today,
Speaker 2: my friend, other than the passing of the Hulk, Well,
Speaker 2: sure has you.
Speaker 4: For people of a certain age, and that would definitely
Speaker 4: include me in that wheelhouse.
Speaker 5: Dam I mean Hulk Hogan was it in the eighties?
Speaker 4: Is a pop culture icon as a wrestler, as a
Speaker 4: as a force.
Speaker 5: He was Thunderlips and Rocky three.
Speaker 4: You might recall that one of your favorite movies and
Speaker 4: trilogies and whatever you want to call it, four and.
Speaker 5: Five as well.
Speaker 4: But yeah, a very sad day, maybe very reflective. I'm
Speaker 4: feeling very nostalgic. I usually feel that way anyway, but
Speaker 4: especially today with the loss.
Speaker 3: Of Hulk Hogan.
Speaker 2: Condolences to you, my friend, and thank you yet we
Speaker 2: will play some of that sound of Hulk at the
Speaker 2: last UP convention right here.
Speaker 3: Was pretty epic there, so we'll get to that in
Speaker 3: a bit.
Speaker 2: I do want to pop some sound early, and then
Speaker 2: we'll jump on this story about the drug over dose
Speaker 2: deats in Denver, spiking the reasons why, what are the fixs, etc.
Speaker 2: But let me get into that with this compelling sound
Speaker 2: of a mother relaying the story of her Eagle Scout's
Speaker 2: son and the effects of quote legalized marijuana on him.
Speaker 3: Cup to Please.
Speaker 6: In twenty eighteen, I celebrated the graduation of my firstborn son,
Speaker 6: who was an Eagle Scout and honor student. Little did
Speaker 6: I know he had begun using marijuana to deal with
Speaker 6: his social anxiety as he entered college. When he came
Speaker 6: home for Thanksgiving break his sophomore year, I noticed changes
Speaker 6: in his behavior. He was irritable and aggressive, but I
Speaker 6: was unaware that he was using THHG products until he
Speaker 6: admitted to his position he was smoking.
Speaker 3: When he came home for.
Speaker 6: Christmas break, he started using THHC daily. He experienced his
Speaker 6: first psychotic break and was hospitalized. He only tested positive
Speaker 6: for THHC. He was discharged on a small dose of
Speaker 6: anti psychotic medication I allowed him to return to college,
Speaker 6: not then realizing the connection to THC and cannabis induced
Speaker 6: psychosis or CIP. Then COVID happened and he came home
Speaker 6: and got a job. There was a vapor smoke shop
Speaker 6: near our home, and he started using the delta ATHG
Speaker 6: products sold there, which are chemically derived from him. He
Speaker 6: soon became addicted, which also led to severe personality changes.
Speaker 6: He was again admitted to the hospital and then an
Speaker 6: intensive outpatient program. He returned to college the following semester. Howherever,
Speaker 6: he failed because he continued use of THHG products caused
Speaker 6: memory issues, confusion, and a decrease in his cognitive abilities, so.
Speaker 3: He had to leave school.
Speaker 6: He tried to work, but he just spent much of
Speaker 6: his paychecks at the local a store buying delta ATHD
Speaker 6: and CBD products, thinking they would help to take his
Speaker 6: mind away from his psychotic symptoms he was now experiencing.
Speaker 6: This led to a revolving door of hospitalizations, but none
Speaker 6: of them focused on his THHD addiction or tried to
Speaker 6: get him to stop. They only concentrated on stabilizing him
Speaker 6: on medication. Cannabis and Douce. Psychosis has devastated our lives.
Speaker 6: My son's brain health has been severely damaged, and our
Speaker 6: family has been traumatized. I now live on edge, not
Speaker 6: knowing if my son will ever be mentally stable again.
Speaker 6: I've not found any treatment programs as specialized or focused
Speaker 6: on CIP that are affordable or that our insurance will
Speaker 6: pay for. I've gone into debt, tending him to out
Speaker 6: of state programs and hopes that his brain will have
Speaker 6: a chance to heal. My son still has not grasped
Speaker 6: the fact that THHG products are the cause of his
Speaker 6: brain creating his false reality. Today, doctors diagnose him as schizophrenic,
Speaker 6: but typical antipsychotics don't take away the damage caused by
Speaker 6: their THHD products. My son is twenty four years old
Speaker 6: and living in his own private hell, all because he
Speaker 6: started smoking weed. I wish legislators would understand the danger
Speaker 6: of all THHD products, natural and synthetic on developing brains.
Speaker 6: Cannabis induce psychosis is real. It happened to my child.
Speaker 6: Educate your child on the arms of THC at Johnny's
Speaker 6: Ambassadors dot org.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and took that video off Johnny's Ambassadors you can
Speaker 2: find them on Twitter as well. A tremendous site and
Speaker 2: it was put in place after a wonderful young man,
Speaker 2: Johnny Stack, died by suicide after delusions from THHC psychosis.
Speaker 2: Dis legalized marijuana. It's not worth it. It's based on big
Speaker 2: lies and one of these days we've got to be
Speaker 2: able to reverse sixty four. You're on the Dan Capla.
Speaker 5: Show and now back to the Dan Kaplas Show podcast.
Speaker 7: But what happened last week when they took a shot
Speaker 7: and my hero and they tried to kill the next
Speaker 7: president of the United States? Enough blaws enough uh, Bloodpomania
Speaker 7: roun bah brother blood Cropomania, rule again, Blood Copomania, make
Speaker 7: Omaca right again.
Speaker 2: As of course, I'll cripped off his shirts. So no
Speaker 2: confirmation at this point as to what took his life.
Speaker 2: No foul play suspected, but we'll keep you updated on that.
Speaker 2: Three or three someone three eight two five five text
Speaker 2: d A N five seven seventh three nine, lots of
Speaker 2: text rolling and already Dan marijuana ruin my son. He's
Speaker 2: in prison. I am sharing his story with Johnny's ambassadors
Speaker 2: dot org. It's truly one of the most important valuable
Speaker 2: web websites, but also of course on X Johnny's Ambassadors
Speaker 2: or an awful lot of moms whose kids have been
Speaker 2: devastated by marijuana, you know, bravely go on to that
Speaker 2: site and just don't buy the big lie, right, They
Speaker 2: sold it as quotes safer and what play some sound
Speaker 2: a little bit later. Did you hear that, Brian when
Speaker 2: you were cutting in this Hunter Biden sound where he's
Speaker 2: talking about how crack cocaine is safer than alcohol? But yeah,
Speaker 2: that that's always the pitch, right the druggies. They can't
Speaker 2: possibly justify all the death and destruction that comes with
Speaker 2: legalization of drugs on its own merit. They always have
Speaker 2: to say, oh, but but it's not as bad as alcohol.
Speaker 3: Yeah, And now they've gone to the point, yeah, crack
Speaker 3: cocaine not as bad as alcohol. The big lies, So
Speaker 3: those are the ones that always get them.
Speaker 2: Let's see, Dan, everywhere I drive, I hold the horn down.
Speaker 2: It sure does upset a lot of people, but I've
Speaker 2: never hit an animal. I told you we have an
Speaker 2: amazing universe of textures out there because I put the
Speaker 2: word out to see if anybody has any great suggestions
Speaker 2: on how to reduce the chance of one of these
Speaker 2: horrific crashes with wildlife, and we're looking at this story.
Speaker 2: Woman killed in late night moose crash on Sea four
Speaker 2: seventy and Highland's Ranch. A woman died nearly two weeks
Speaker 2: ago after a crash involving a moose on Sea four
Speaker 2: seventy and Highlands Ranch. State Patrol announced Thursday morning. Happened
Speaker 2: about eleven thirty at night between University and quip Back
Speaker 2: on Sea four seventy. So driver traveling west hit the moose,
Speaker 2: which three other vehicles then hit in one vehicle, the
Speaker 2: woman driving lost control, causing the fatal injuries.
Speaker 3: And who could blame her?
Speaker 7: Right?
Speaker 2: I mean, you're just not expecting, even if you're driving
Speaker 2: up here in the mountains, right, you're not necessariesssarily expecting
Speaker 2: wildlife to just pop out right in front of you.
Speaker 2: So if anybody has any tips, I'd thought I saw
Speaker 2: Ryan Wan some gadget on the internet somewhere, but probably
Speaker 2: some kind of scam. But anybody has any good tips,
Speaker 2: we are wide open to that because there was another
Speaker 2: one just a week later on that same stretch of
Speaker 2: C four seventy. Women swerve to avoid hitting a deer
Speaker 2: near Kipling and then ended up rolling, killing the driver.
Speaker 3: So wow, so sad.
Speaker 2: And you know, being in the type of work that
Speaker 2: I am, where we're doing these wrongful death cases, catastrophic
Speaker 2: injury cases, this thing that's always just so impossible to
Speaker 2: wrap your mind around, right, is that it all happens
Speaker 2: so suddenly the families intact, dad or mom are on
Speaker 2: their way home and then all of a sudden they
Speaker 2: never come back because of something like this, or more
Speaker 2: often it's some idiot, reckless driver or something like that.
Speaker 2: And we've talked about it before and we will again.
Speaker 2: It's not today's show, probably should be, but we really
Speaker 2: have to as a society just get sane and say,
Speaker 2: wait a second, why are we accepting so many of
Speaker 2: these unnecessary roadways deaths? I mean something like wildlife, what
Speaker 2: are you going to do? But far more often, right,
Speaker 2: and you know it out there on the road, far
Speaker 2: more often, you know, it's this this killer who's driving
Speaker 2: one hundred or one hundred and twenty weaving in and
Speaker 2: out of traffic, or the drunk driver or the drug
Speaker 2: driver or both, and you know who just doesn't care
Speaker 2: about human life, and then all of a sudden a
Speaker 2: kid doesn't have their mom anymore.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that kind of stuff is a society.
Speaker 2: We got to start getting smart and we got to
Speaker 2: rise up and say we're going to kick the We're
Speaker 2: going to kick everything out of these people who are
Speaker 2: doing this to us.
Speaker 3: And if they don't kill you, they're terrifying you out there.
Speaker 2: Yeah, are sentencing of these people has to be many,
Speaker 2: many multiples of what it is now.
Speaker 3: And I know that that.
Speaker 2: You know our prisons, you know our prisons are pretty
Speaker 2: full in the very expensive but this is where what
Speaker 2: are we as a society stupid? You know, why don't
Speaker 2: we just open our minds and say, wait a second, Okay,
Speaker 2: what we are going to build.
Speaker 3: We are going to build new, less expensive facilities.
Speaker 2: They don't have to be anywhere near as expensive because
Speaker 2: there's not as much concern about a breakout and if
Speaker 2: they break out, we'll find them and then double their sentence,
Speaker 2: where we can start housing these people for a very
Speaker 2: long time, a very long time, for a lot less money.
Speaker 2: But this option of just saying, oh no, there's going
Speaker 2: to be this acceptable casualty rate because we're going to
Speaker 2: let all these morons you know, drive that way. No, No,
Speaker 2: Saint Society would do that some more Texters, Dan, is
Speaker 2: this treason enough for you? That person must have attached
Speaker 2: something and we can't take attachments to our text line,
Speaker 2: so we do not have that one three or three
Speaker 2: see three eight two five five text d A N
Speaker 2: five seven seven three nine.
Speaker 3: What do you think? What do you think?
Speaker 2: Ryan of Columbia forking over two hundred million? I know
Speaker 2: you guys have become close friends. I'm one of his
Speaker 2: biggest fans. Scott Jennings had have thought on this cut
Speaker 2: thirteen place.
Speaker 3: That's what he's doing.
Speaker 8: He's using a very big stick and heading people over
Speaker 8: the head with it. And there are people who are
Speaker 8: allowing themselves to be beat and others who are standing
Speaker 8: up on principle, taking the risk.
Speaker 3: What principle they're time? No, you don't. I love what
Speaker 3: Trump's doing. And it's Scott Jenning's point out it.
Speaker 2: Wait a second, Columbia is not paying two hundred million
Speaker 2: unless they got caught red handed.
Speaker 3: And we'll get to that sound after the break.
Speaker 2: So so many great things Trump's doing that will last
Speaker 2: a long time, including holding an institution like Columbia responsible
Speaker 2: for its for its abuse of Jewish students three or
Speaker 2: three someone three eight two five five text D A
Speaker 2: N five seven seven three nine.
Speaker 3: Why aren't.
Speaker 5: You're listening to the Dan Kaplis Show podcast?
Speaker 9: They're high level DNC emails that detailed evidence of Hillary's
Speaker 9: quote psycho emotional problems, uncontrolled fits of anger, aggression, and cheerfulness,
Speaker 9: and that then Secretary Clinton was allegedly on a daily
Speaker 9: regiment of heavy tranquilizers. Then CIA Director Brennan and the
Speaker 9: intelligence community mischaracterized intelligence and relied on dubious, substandard sources
Speaker 9: to create a contrived, false narrative that putin developed a
Speaker 9: quote unquote clear preference for Trump.
Speaker 3: Wow, are you surprised to hear that about Secretary Clinton? Me?
Speaker 5: Personally, No, not at all. I mean this, this fits
Speaker 5: just next all the dots.
Speaker 3: Yeah, just wonder three.
Speaker 2: Three someone three eight two five five text D A
Speaker 2: N five seven seven three nine. A texter Dan medium
Speaker 2: sized deer and smaller animals. If you face those on
Speaker 2: the roadway, do not swerve. If you're above forty miles
Speaker 2: per hour, break aggressively and prepare for impact. And I
Speaker 2: have no doubt that's good advice from our texter, because
Speaker 2: as we've been talking about on show today.
Speaker 3: You know, we saw a person who died out on.
Speaker 2: Sea four seventy the other day doing what I would
Speaker 2: have done, right, instinctively swerving to avoid a deer that
Speaker 2: suddenly appeared on the roadway. Right, I mean animal lovers,
Speaker 2: I'm an animal lover. You just don't want to hit
Speaker 2: that animal. It's immedia, it's instinctive. And I think this
Speaker 2: texture raises an important point that you know, and you're
Speaker 2: not expecting that moose on Sea four seventy, right, that
Speaker 2: took the woman's life a couple of weeks ago. But
Speaker 2: I guess we have to be and certainly when we
Speaker 2: get further out, we get out on the planes, get
Speaker 2: up here in the mountains where I'm broadcasting from today.
Speaker 2: You know, maybe what I need to do is just
Speaker 2: drive with more of a conscious mindset about anticipating. Okay,
Speaker 2: that animal appears in the roadway. You know, I've just
Speaker 2: got to break hard and prepare for impact rather than swerve. Now,
Speaker 2: our text draws the line at medium sized deer and
Speaker 2: smaller animals, the suggestion being that you know, if you're
Speaker 2: running into say a full size elk, you know, if
Speaker 2: you're running into God forbid, a bear or something like that.
Speaker 3: I don't know. I just don't know the stats on this.
Speaker 3: I just don't know at what point an animal is
Speaker 3: large enough that you know you're going to.
Speaker 2: Be killed if you hit it. I would have to
Speaker 2: think that that in a crash worthy enough vehicle, you're
Speaker 2: obviously going to have a better chance, the more crash
Speaker 2: worthy the vehicle is. I just don't know where that
Speaker 2: line would be drawn on animal size. What I worry
Speaker 2: about for myself, Ryan, and I bet you're the same way,
Speaker 2: and probably vast majority listening in our animal lovers, the
Speaker 2: instinctive reaction is going to be to swerve.
Speaker 4: Well, and that's the thing Kelly's cringing at the thought.
Speaker 4: But I'm sorry, but better the deer than you. You
Speaker 4: don't want to swerve, end up in a ditch, rolling over,
Speaker 4: killing yourself and the people in your vehicle. Sometimes the
Speaker 4: best move is just to straight ahead and not even
Speaker 4: slam on your brakes. Quite frankly, yeah, well, and you
Speaker 4: raise an important point.
Speaker 2: Used to be there just aren't bumper stickers around anymore, right,
Speaker 2: But used to be the eyebreak for animals bumper sticker And.
Speaker 3: Is that something that is responsible not responsible.
Speaker 2: I mean, there's no doubt I'm driving down the road
Speaker 2: and all of a sudden, somebody's dog appears in front
Speaker 2: of me. I'm instinctively going to break. But then you're
Speaker 2: obviously jeopardizing human life around you. So what is the
Speaker 2: best way to handle those situations? Dan, I was driving
Speaker 2: near Steamboat Springs below the speed limit, looking for deer,
Speaker 2: and I still hit one. You can't avoid all collisions
Speaker 2: with wildlife, and sadly, people die trying to avoid the collision.
Speaker 2: It's difficult, but avoiding the urge to drive off the
Speaker 2: road can save your life, especially in Colorado with our
Speaker 2: extreme terrain.
Speaker 3: I think that's very very well said.
Speaker 2: But then how do you I think the only way
Speaker 2: to overcome that just instinctive reaction is to drive with
Speaker 2: that conscious mindset and put it on that pre flight
Speaker 2: checklist that animal roadway, don't swerve.
Speaker 3: But then again, at what size what size creature?
Speaker 2: You know, does the crash itself you know, become more serious? Yeah,
Speaker 2: I think it's just going to depend on vehicle, right
Speaker 2: size of vehicle, all the other circumstances, and so much
Speaker 2: of it comes down to this general advice.
Speaker 3: You don't need for me.
Speaker 2: You already know it, but I feel obligated to give
Speaker 2: it since each and every day in my practice, I'm
Speaker 2: dealing with these my law practice, I'm dealing with these
Speaker 2: horrible tragedies right where somebody was alive one second and
Speaker 2: now they're not, Or they were healthy one second and
Speaker 2: now they're impaired for life. And the quality of the
Speaker 2: vehicle a person is in makes such a difference. And
Speaker 2: I just and I know people already do this, but
Speaker 2: I'd recommend accessing every source of information you can about
Speaker 2: the safety of the kind of vehicle you're looking to buy,
Speaker 2: new or used before you buy.
Speaker 3: It, because it makes such a dramatic difference. And we
Speaker 3: have a texture.
Speaker 2: You saw Ryan who said they heard that somebody who
Speaker 2: died in one of these crashes we've been talking about
Speaker 2: did not have a seat belt.
Speaker 3: I don't know if that's true or not.
Speaker 2: But what I do know, just for my own practice
Speaker 2: in forty one years of doing wrongful death cases, is
Speaker 2: that your chance of dying in a wreck goes down
Speaker 2: astronomically if you're wearing a seat belt. And now I've
Speaker 2: still handled many, many, many cases where somebody wearing a
Speaker 2: seat belt was killed but just your odds are so
Speaker 2: much better with a belt on, whether it's death or
Speaker 2: or a serious injury. But then you look at all
Speaker 2: of these paralysis cases and all these horrific injuries inflicted
Speaker 2: when people do have a belt on. All I'm saying
Speaker 2: is whatever you can do to get you and your
Speaker 2: loved ones into the safest vehicle you can, it really
Speaker 2: makes a big difference. Especially Ryan, what is this explosion
Speaker 2: of people going over one hundred miles an hour, weaving
Speaker 2: in and out of traffic, you know, in these and
Speaker 2: there's no message intended here beyond the statement of fact.
Speaker 2: You know, in these cars that probably cost somebody a
Speaker 2: few hundred bucks, you know what I mean. And it
Speaker 2: wouldn't matter if somebody was in a Hugatti or was
Speaker 2: in one one of those cars that cost a few
Speaker 2: hundred dollars. But there's an explosion of the ladder going on. Well,
Speaker 2: where do you think that comes from?
Speaker 3: Have no idea? Okay, I think you do. I've never
Speaker 3: heard you say I have no idea that.
Speaker 5: Well, no, there's a lot of things are out of
Speaker 5: my depth. Yeah, outside my wheelhouse.
Speaker 3: I think, you know, And just based on what I
Speaker 3: do in my own practice.
Speaker 2: I think an awful lot of this comes back to,
Speaker 2: you know, legalization of drugs comes back to you get
Speaker 2: particularly a lot of younger people. But it's not limited
Speaker 2: to that. You just have we see so many more
Speaker 2: people impaired at like seven or.
Speaker 3: Eight in the morning. You know, it's just changed so
Speaker 3: much in Colorado since once Colorado became known as the
Speaker 3: legalized drug state.
Speaker 2: Right, you attract a whole lot of people, and then
Speaker 2: you have people born here who then get into their
Speaker 2: teens and all of it's green lighted, and it just
Speaker 2: causes so much more chass on the roadway. I mean,
Speaker 2: look at the Denver Gazette story, Denver sees twenty percent
Speaker 2: increase in drug overdose deaths over past year. Drug overdose
Speaker 2: deaths both pardon me, drug overdose rates both fatal and
Speaker 2: non fatal, increased by more than twenty percent in Denver
Speaker 2: through July of this year, the highest levels the city
Speaker 2: has seen since twenty twenty three, when nearly six hundred
Speaker 2: people died from drug use.
Speaker 3: It's not immediately clear if this trend.
Speaker 2: Is occurring statewide or only hammering Colorado's most populous city.
Speaker 2: If the trend persist, Denver would be on track to
Speaker 2: surpass the number of non fatal cases in twenty twenty three,
Speaker 2: when more than three thousand overdoses were reported in so
Speaker 2: far as fatal cases. The months of March and May
Speaker 2: this year recorded the highest number of overdose deaths in
Speaker 2: the last six years. All told, a city dashboard showed
Speaker 2: a twenty two point seven percent spike in non fatal
Speaker 2: overdoses through July.
Speaker 3: And then it gets into a bunch of numbers.
Speaker 2: In terms of the fatals, the increase was from two
Speaker 2: twenty four to two seventy three over that same period.
Speaker 2: And then they quote somebody in the story makes a
Speaker 2: good point. Imagine if this many people were dying from
Speaker 2: homicides or car accidents, I'm perplexed why it's not getting
Speaker 2: more attention? Great point, And why do you think it's
Speaker 2: not getting more attention now? Starting point is the lefties
Speaker 2: who own and operate Denver. They don't want to get
Speaker 2: an attention right. The lefties who own and operate the state,
Speaker 2: they don't want it getting attention right because it goes
Speaker 2: right back to their failures of policy. But think about that,
Speaker 2: Think about that massive body count. What do you think
Speaker 2: is causing it what's the fix three all three seven
Speaker 2: one three A two five five the number tex DN
Speaker 2: five seven seven three nine.
Speaker 3: You're on the Dan Kapla Show.
Speaker 5: And now back to the Dan Kapla Show podcast.
Speaker 3: You know like sixties used to be and seventy you
Speaker 3: know many like fifties.
Speaker 5: Andy Connall has interviewed William Shatner.
Speaker 3: And he's what ninety three always okay, and.
Speaker 5: He sounds your age, no joke. Yeah, he even has
Speaker 5: a compliment to him too, not as oh no, no.
Speaker 3: No, thank you for that.
Speaker 2: And and then as you know, my uncle, we have
Speaker 2: him on the Showeth the Priest in Chicago ninety three
Speaker 2: and yeah.
Speaker 4: Oh Shatner could have like a sitcom together that the
Speaker 4: same age. And your your uncle is remarkable, Dan, just
Speaker 4: like William Shatner.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you know he still does three messes a
Speaker 2: week and he packs the place unreal because he's always
Speaker 2: had it down, you know, the eight minutes sermons.
Speaker 3: He has one key point he's going to make. He
Speaker 3: has a great joke.
Speaker 2: He talks about the bears or the bulls or the
Speaker 2: socks of the cubs, and he's done, and people love
Speaker 2: that and they walk away getting the point he wanted
Speaker 2: to make yeah, three or three someone three eight two
Speaker 2: five five text d A N five seven seven three.
Speaker 3: I do want to get to this sound in a second.
Speaker 2: But some of these textures coming in, you know, because
Speaker 2: we played very compelling sound earlier from a mom whose
Speaker 2: child is devastated by marijuana. You know this THHC psychosis,
Speaker 2: which is so common. And then you get these texters
Speaker 2: who write in and say, yeah, I feel so bad
Speaker 2: for the mom, but where's the proof it was the
Speaker 2: THHC that caused the psychosis? And I assume this text
Speaker 2: is very sincere in their question. Now, what we often
Speaker 2: hear from the industry is this BS defense of oh,
Speaker 2: correlation but not causation garbage. Wait a second, you know
Speaker 2: University of Real Life, that's where the best studies come from.
Speaker 3: And what you got is you got in this example
Speaker 3: and it's documented. You got this kid, he's doing.
Speaker 2: Great in every way, then all of a sudden he
Speaker 2: starts using marijuana, and then all of a sudden he
Speaker 2: starts having this psychosis and everything else and the only
Speaker 2: drug and his systems THC. And I'm not saying the texture,
Speaker 2: but for the dope dealers, the so called legalized dope dealers.
Speaker 2: No amount of proof is ever going to be enough, right,
Speaker 2: because that's how they make their money, That's how they
Speaker 2: buy their ferraris and their big mansions. Is all these
Speaker 2: kids now whose lives are ruined and their parents are
Speaker 2: heartbroken and in all this human tragedy out there.
Speaker 3: Three three seven, three eight two five five five seven
Speaker 3: seven three nine. Hey, let's go to this.
Speaker 2: A good story from CBS four about this issue we've
Speaker 2: been spending a lot of time on, which is this
Speaker 2: enormously dangerous loophole the left foot in Colorado law, where
Speaker 2: you can have somebody committing all these serious crimes, but
Speaker 2: if they're not mentally competent to stand trial, no got
Speaker 2: to cut them a brake.
Speaker 3: That's garbage play. The piece will be dropped, I guess.
Speaker 8: The suspect usually trying to kidnap a child on a
Speaker 8: playground in a Rapo County last year.
Speaker 10: The District Attorney's office says its.
Speaker 3: Hands are tied.
Speaker 10: Terry Creek Schools released edited video showing a man trying
Speaker 10: to snatch a child from the elementary school during recess.
Speaker 10: This happened in April of twenty twenty four. That's suspect
Speaker 10: Solomon Gallaghan has a long criminal history and a long
Speaker 10: history of mental health problems as well. The report Gabrielle
Speaker 10: Vidal explains why that complicates this case.
Speaker 11: There was a lot of frustration among families and elected
Speaker 11: officials who spoke outside the Rapaho County Justice Center just
Speaker 11: five days before the eighteen Judicial District Attorney's office is
Speaker 11: set to dismiss charges against Solomon Gallaghan for the intempted
Speaker 11: abduction of a child on a playground last year. We
Speaker 11: spoke with the Office of Civil and Forensic Mental Health
Speaker 11: earlier this week, who say a new legislation enacted last
Speaker 11: year requires a court to dismiss charges against someone whom
Speaker 11: the state has determined cannot be restored to competency in
Speaker 11: order to stand trial. But the law also provides a
Speaker 11: pathway for the DA's office to pursue civil commitment and
Speaker 11: house Gallagan at a mental hospital. The parents worried that
Speaker 11: will only keep him off the streets for so long.
Speaker 12: As I understand it, max is a year, right, So
Speaker 12: we have a year and then they're out. If there's
Speaker 12: not a space at the mental facility, then essentially the
Speaker 12: goes And that's the big fear here.
Speaker 11: We'll share more reaction from elected officials and families, as
Speaker 11: well as one father's mission to preventing crimes like this
Speaker 11: from happening in his community in the future. That's all
Speaker 11: come out tonight at ten on CBS Colorado in a
Speaker 11: Rapeo County Gabriel Vite I'll cover and call it.
Speaker 5: A first.
Speaker 3: Yeah, how did we ever get to this point? Right?
Speaker 3: I mean, it's such insanity and I don't mean to
Speaker 3: sound like a broken record, but I still marvel at it.
Speaker 3: Will it ever get bad enough? I a the left?
Speaker 3: Obviously this state is headed in one direction right under
Speaker 3: leftist rule?
Speaker 2: Will it ever get bad enough that people elect Republicans statewide?
Speaker 2: I don't want to see it get bad. I want
Speaker 2: to see it be good. But we all know where
Speaker 2: this is headed, right. It's just gravity. You cannot do
Speaker 2: garbage like that. You cannot do this stuff the left
Speaker 2: does and make us so radically pro criminal, an anti
Speaker 2: innocent person without the weight of that just pulling you
Speaker 2: into the sewer.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Now you know my theory, Ryan, and you've never
Speaker 3: told me if you agree with it or not.
Speaker 2: But my theory is that, yes, yes, you know, this
Speaker 2: spell will be broken and the way it's going to
Speaker 2: be broken is there's going to be that one GOP
Speaker 2: candidate who catches fire statewide and wins one of the
Speaker 2: big state wide races, might be centator, might be governor,
Speaker 2: and then then will hit a tipping point right that
Speaker 2: spell will be broken. The money will think, hey, there's
Speaker 2: a chance to win in Colorado. That person who wins
Speaker 2: the state wide office becomes the face of the party.
Speaker 2: Because think about it. Think about it right now, the
Speaker 2: Colorado GOP has an awful lot of talent in it,
Speaker 2: an awful lot, but it doesn't have a face of
Speaker 2: the party statewide.
Speaker 3: And think about what a crippling, you know, loss that
Speaker 3: is for a party. But that will change.
Speaker 2: It's going to take the one candidate the right circumstances
Speaker 2: catching fire, and then I think the whole dynamic starts
Speaker 2: to shift. Let's get back to some of a great Texters,
Speaker 2: by the way, talk about value added. If you haven't
Speaker 2: heard her before, doctor Catherine Wheeler joins us every Thursday
Speaker 2: at five six and she used to perform abortions. She's
Speaker 2: a medical doctor, obviously, and she joins us to talk
Speaker 2: about the medical realities of abortion.
Speaker 3: You know, she is now saving lives, and those are.
Speaker 2: The greatest heroes in the pro life movement, which I'm
Speaker 2: proud to have been a small part of for many,
Speaker 2: many years. And that is the people who've had abortions
Speaker 2: and the people who used to conduct abortions who are
Speaker 2: now out there, you know, helping to save children. I mean,
Speaker 2: those are the ultimate heroes in the pro life movement.
Speaker 2: And always just great to be able to talk medical
Speaker 2: fact with her because I'm just a firm believer Ryan
Speaker 2: that these enormous strides that have been made in the
Speaker 2: pro life movement, all the lives saved over the years,
Speaker 2: all these races one you know that at the heart
Speaker 2: of that has been the advent of ultrasound technology, which
Speaker 2: now advanced so far right, But even in the primitive
Speaker 2: days of ultrasound, whoever walked up to Ryan Schulan and said, hey,
Speaker 2: look at my fetus.
Speaker 3: Never, No, they hand you the picture and they say
Speaker 3: look at my baby. That blew up the big life
Speaker 3: from the left.
Speaker 2: But what we get from doctor Wheeler these more advanced
Speaker 2: medical facts and.
Speaker 3: It just it helps, it helps save lives. Its value
Speaker 3: added Doctor Wheeler next on the Dan Kapla Show,
