But yeah, bright 34 00:01:27.920 --> 00:01:31.040 sports future in Colorado at the moment, and I mean, 35 00:01:31.079 --> 00:01:32.599 you look at the Broncos, right, and this isn't going 36 00:01:32.680 --> 00:01:34.200 to be a sports show as much as we'd like 37 00:01:34.239 --> 00:01:36.400 it to be. But you look at the Broncos, who 38 00:01:36.480 --> 00:01:40.200 suddenly have you know, the wealthiest ownership group in the 39 00:01:40.319 --> 00:01:45.319 NFL and a superb ownership group, so all sorts of pluses. 40 00:01:46.840 --> 00:01:52.400 You just have to love this KUSA story talking about Colorado. 41 00:01:52.719 --> 00:01:58.799 The Democrats in Colorado now expanding access to driver's licenses 42 00:01:58.920 --> 00:02:01.920 for people in the country illegally. 43 00:02:03.040 --> 00:02:05.439 Some people have lived in Colorado for years without a 44 00:02:05.519 --> 00:02:08.719 driver's license. It's particularly hard to get one for people 45 00:02:08.719 --> 00:02:10.919 in the country without proper documentation. 46 00:02:11.240 --> 00:02:13.840 For some it was it's impossible. 47 00:02:13.280 --> 00:02:16.599 But it was very difficult, and now for nearly everyone 48 00:02:16.759 --> 00:02:19.240 it's going to be so much easier. 49 00:02:19.360 --> 00:02:22.800 Mariaveldez is a senior driving instructor at American Driving Academic 50 00:02:22.879 --> 00:02:26.479 Such looking forward to a new law relaxing requirements for 51 00:02:26.560 --> 00:02:30.159 people in the country without authorization to get driver's licenses. 52 00:02:30.439 --> 00:02:33.719 Well, one of the requirements was to live in Colorado 53 00:02:33.759 --> 00:02:35.400 for a minimum of two years. 54 00:02:35.680 --> 00:02:38.120 This law eliminates that two year requirement. 55 00:02:38.759 --> 00:02:39.840 Think about that for a second. 56 00:02:39.840 --> 00:02:43.240 Okay, so what the Democrats in Colorado are doing is 57 00:02:43.840 --> 00:02:49.080 actively inviting people from around the world to not only 58 00:02:49.280 --> 00:02:52.280 come to the USC legally, but to come to Colorado. 59 00:02:52.599 --> 00:02:54.000 And here's the big incentive. 60 00:02:54.520 --> 00:02:58.520 You get a driver's license here day one, no vetting, 61 00:02:58.599 --> 00:03:02.840 no criminal background. You get a driver's license, day one. 62 00:03:03.000 --> 00:03:05.159 And when I say that, no vetting background, it not 63 00:03:05.199 --> 00:03:06.960 the way you would if you came to Colorado from 64 00:03:07.000 --> 00:03:08.960 Nebraska and said I'm going to be a Colorado resident. 65 00:03:09.000 --> 00:03:10.120 I want to get a license here. 66 00:03:10.759 --> 00:03:15.840 Remarkable that they're incentivizing this, but wait, it gets worse as. 67 00:03:15.719 --> 00:03:18.719 A requirement to provide an income tax returnal or Social 68 00:03:18.719 --> 00:03:19.680 Security number. 69 00:03:20.080 --> 00:03:22.439 Valdez says, it's a game changer for her driving. 70 00:03:22.599 --> 00:03:24.960 Right, So now you don't have to provide a social 71 00:03:25.039 --> 00:03:27.840 you don't have to show your pain texts anything like that. 72 00:03:27.879 --> 00:03:31.319 They are going to the most extreme links they can 73 00:03:31.400 --> 00:03:34.879 think of to attract people to come here illegally. 74 00:03:35.120 --> 00:03:36.240 Why do you think they're doing that? 75 00:03:36.759 --> 00:03:38.439 Students like Elma. 76 00:03:38.159 --> 00:03:41.599 Baysaena k in Colorado ra. 77 00:03:41.639 --> 00:03:44.719 Jul Stress Baysa says, for three years she's had to 78 00:03:44.800 --> 00:03:47.280 rely on uber to get her family around. 79 00:03:47.560 --> 00:03:47.759 You know. 80 00:03:50.840 --> 00:03:53.599 And the story goes on from there. But here's something 81 00:03:53.639 --> 00:03:56.240 you're not seeing in the headlines. And this I pride 82 00:03:56.280 --> 00:03:58.840 myself on a little bit because I actually read these 83 00:03:58.919 --> 00:04:01.360 laws like in and dig into them and dig into 84 00:04:01.360 --> 00:04:05.120 the fine print. This law that police and the Democrats 85 00:04:05.199 --> 00:04:09.879 just you know, enacted, it actually just became active. This 86 00:04:10.000 --> 00:04:14.360 law says that the ID produced So you just heard 87 00:04:14.360 --> 00:04:16.319 in the story. Now Democrats have said, you can come here, 88 00:04:16.360 --> 00:04:19.759 seem to get a license. You don't have to show 89 00:04:19.800 --> 00:04:23.560 a social or taxes or anything like that. The ID 90 00:04:23.920 --> 00:04:29.560 that you produce can be expired for nine years, and 91 00:04:29.680 --> 00:04:32.120 Jared Police's Colorado will still take it. 92 00:04:33.040 --> 00:04:33.720 So why do you. 93 00:04:33.639 --> 00:04:36.000 Think they did that. Okay, you got to give us 94 00:04:36.000 --> 00:04:40.439 an ID, but it can be expired for no more 95 00:04:40.480 --> 00:04:42.360 than ten years, so you can actually have an ID 96 00:04:42.480 --> 00:04:46.560 that's expired for nine years, three hundred and sixty four 97 00:04:46.639 --> 00:04:49.000 days expired, and they'll still take it. 98 00:04:49.040 --> 00:04:50.079 Why do you think they did that? 99 00:04:50.480 --> 00:04:54.360 And what's to stop these illegal immigrants? It needs to 100 00:04:54.399 --> 00:04:56.439 be said, because it's not set in this piece, Dan 101 00:04:57.000 --> 00:05:00.439 from just registering to vote while they're there getting their 102 00:05:00.560 --> 00:05:02.120 driver's license without being vetted. 103 00:05:02.600 --> 00:05:04.959 I think, And again you go to ad Dan Caplis 104 00:05:04.959 --> 00:05:07.639 on Twitter, you can see it. Bennett and Higgeleoper are 105 00:05:07.639 --> 00:05:12.959 pushing a bill that says ICE cannot detain illegal immigrants. 106 00:05:12.879 --> 00:05:15.199 At voting boosts at the polling place. 107 00:05:15.439 --> 00:05:18.199 I don't think they're being at all subtle about what 108 00:05:18.240 --> 00:05:19.720 they're trying to accomplish here. 109 00:05:20.600 --> 00:05:24.399 So it's just, yeah, the question is is this going 110 00:05:24.439 --> 00:05:24.879 to be enough? 111 00:05:25.000 --> 00:05:26.759 Is this going to cut through in this twenty six 112 00:05:26.879 --> 00:05:28.759 cycle when the GOP is going to have a candidate 113 00:05:28.800 --> 00:05:30.800 for governor and they're going to have a candidate for 114 00:05:30.839 --> 00:05:34.040 the US Senate, Is this sort of stuff going to 115 00:05:34.120 --> 00:05:34.759 cut through? 116 00:05:35.600 --> 00:05:37.839 And you would hope that it would right And to me. 117 00:05:37.959 --> 00:05:40.120 You know, as a guy, my whole professional life, forty 118 00:05:40.199 --> 00:05:43.040 years of it now, my old professional life is representing 119 00:05:43.079 --> 00:05:46.160 people who are in the worst spot of their entire life. 120 00:05:46.519 --> 00:05:50.600 Loved one's just been killed or some devastating injury, you know, 121 00:05:50.720 --> 00:05:53.000 because somebody did something reckless on the road. And to me, 122 00:05:53.040 --> 00:05:58.160 it's always seemed fundamentally immoral to support any policy that 123 00:05:58.319 --> 00:06:02.720 causes people to suffer that kind of ultimate harm at 124 00:06:02.720 --> 00:06:05.160 the hands of somebody who shouldn't even be here, right, 125 00:06:05.199 --> 00:06:08.480 because that's just to me, so fundamentally unjust. 126 00:06:08.720 --> 00:06:11.279 And it's no comment on people south of the border. 127 00:06:11.319 --> 00:06:13.680 There's so many great people who come in here illegally 128 00:06:14.079 --> 00:06:16.680 along with because of what the Democrats are doing, a 129 00:06:16.680 --> 00:06:20.000 lot of people who are criminals because the Democrats decided 130 00:06:20.040 --> 00:06:21.600 they want to open it up and not vet. 131 00:06:22.120 --> 00:06:23.120 But there are a lot. 132 00:06:22.959 --> 00:06:26.000 Of great people who come here illegally. But even the 133 00:06:26.040 --> 00:06:28.959 great people who come here illegally, every time you put 134 00:06:29.000 --> 00:06:32.680 an additional vehicle on the road, you increase the danger. 135 00:06:33.360 --> 00:06:38.519 And how could you justify doing that to the citizens 136 00:06:38.519 --> 00:06:42.240 of the United States When I'm sure everybody listening has 137 00:06:42.279 --> 00:06:46.000 experienced or knows somebody who has lost a loved one 138 00:06:46.120 --> 00:06:49.560 in a car crash or some huge injury. And of 139 00:06:49.639 --> 00:06:53.319 everything in life, and we can think of a few exceptions, right, 140 00:06:53.319 --> 00:06:56.360 but of almost everything in life, it's the thing that 141 00:06:56.480 --> 00:07:01.319 is most immediately life changing and devastating because nobody sees 142 00:07:01.360 --> 00:07:05.079 it coming, nobody plans for it, but it completely destroys 143 00:07:05.199 --> 00:07:06.279 lives in a heartbeat. 144 00:07:07.120 --> 00:07:10.879 And to support policies that you know, that you know 145 00:07:11.639 --> 00:07:16.079 are going to expand that terrible death and loss. 146 00:07:17.000 --> 00:07:20.680 To me, that's just fundamentally immoral. But that's what your 147 00:07:20.759 --> 00:07:24.040 Polis and your Colorado Democrats have done, gone out of 148 00:07:24.079 --> 00:07:26.759 their way to attract more people to come. 149 00:07:26.639 --> 00:07:29.839 Here illegally and get on the road immediately. That's what 150 00:07:29.879 --> 00:07:33.920 they've done. Ask yourself, why, and what's this business about? 151 00:07:34.000 --> 00:07:37.279 Yeah, the ID can be expired as long as it's 152 00:07:37.319 --> 00:07:41.040 not expired for ten full years. Why do you think 153 00:07:41.040 --> 00:07:47.040 they went to that kind of bizarre link? Yeah, yeah, 154 00:07:47.199 --> 00:07:53.120 he text here It says Dan, why even require a 155 00:07:53.160 --> 00:07:56.720 license anymore? This is stupid, And I said reams. I 156 00:07:56.720 --> 00:07:58.639 don't know if that means Sheriff reams or not, but 157 00:07:59.680 --> 00:08:04.000 it is. It's insane, and it's suicidal. It's societally suicidal. 158 00:08:05.959 --> 00:08:08.399 So I can't think ran And plus they've pretty much 159 00:08:08.639 --> 00:08:10.600 acknowledged it implicitly. 160 00:08:10.040 --> 00:08:10.720 At this point. 161 00:08:11.319 --> 00:08:15.800 It's just an obvious play by Democrats to get illegal 162 00:08:16.399 --> 00:08:17.800 immigrants to come. 163 00:08:17.680 --> 00:08:20.120 Here and vote for them. Correct. There's no other explanations, 164 00:08:20.199 --> 00:08:20.680 no other. 165 00:08:20.560 --> 00:08:23.600 Explanation for it other than listen. The far left obviously, 166 00:08:23.600 --> 00:08:25.800 when you talk about the secular left that runs the 167 00:08:25.839 --> 00:08:31.160 Democratic Party, it wants to obviously destabilize America, undermine America 168 00:08:31.759 --> 00:08:34.720 so that so many more people are dependent on government 169 00:08:34.720 --> 00:08:37.080 and then have to vote in their minds for the left, 170 00:08:37.120 --> 00:08:39.720 because it's the left that's setting up this, you know, 171 00:08:39.879 --> 00:08:43.159 quasi socialist state. So that can be part of the 172 00:08:43.200 --> 00:08:45.519 play as well, but the most immediate play I think 173 00:08:45.600 --> 00:08:48.440 in Bennett Hickenlooper, I think acknowledged it with their bill. 174 00:08:48.600 --> 00:08:51.799 It says, I. 175 00:08:50.519 --> 00:08:54.960 Cannot detain any legal immigrant at the voting booth. Wow, 176 00:08:55.000 --> 00:08:58.039 why would you want to protect somebody here illegally while 177 00:08:58.080 --> 00:08:59.080 they're at the voting booth? 178 00:09:02.279 --> 00:09:02.879 Glad you're here? 179 00:09:03.080 --> 00:09:05.159 Three or three someone three eight two five five text 180 00:09:05.240 --> 00:09:08.039 d an five seven seven three nine. Hey, when we 181 00:09:08.080 --> 00:09:11.759 come back, under what circumstances should kids that see you 182 00:09:11.879 --> 00:09:15.799 Boulder other universities in Colorado and other places in the 183 00:09:15.879 --> 00:09:20.879 country have their visas pulled and be deported for their 184 00:09:20.960 --> 00:09:24.320 activism on campus. Big issue now because the administration has 185 00:09:24.399 --> 00:09:29.279 thrown out hundreds and the administration has an approach that 186 00:09:29.600 --> 00:09:31.879 you may well support. But where do you think the 187 00:09:31.919 --> 00:09:34.159 line should be drawn. You're on the Dankapla Show. 188 00:09:40.919 --> 00:09:43.320 And now back to the dan Kaplas Show podcast. 189 00:09:44.960 --> 00:09:47.320 Some people have lived in Colorado for years without a 190 00:09:47.399 --> 00:09:50.600 driver's license. It's particularly hard to get one for people 191 00:09:50.600 --> 00:09:52.799 in the country without proper documentation. 192 00:09:53.759 --> 00:09:57.200 It wasn't impossible, but it was very difficult, and now 193 00:09:57.240 --> 00:10:01.120 for nearly everyone, it's going to be oh much easier. 194 00:10:01.240 --> 00:10:01.600 Maria. 195 00:10:01.799 --> 00:10:05.840 Yeah, you can come here illegally your first minute in 196 00:10:05.919 --> 00:10:09.159 Colorado and get your driver's license, and you can use 197 00:10:09.200 --> 00:10:11.799 an ID that's been expired for over nine years. 198 00:10:12.080 --> 00:10:14.080 I know this infuriates a lot of our listeners as 199 00:10:14.159 --> 00:10:16.440 much as it does me and maybe you. But this 200 00:10:16.519 --> 00:10:19.600 whole notion that they just forgot their documentation somewhere. They 201 00:10:19.639 --> 00:10:22.039 just came here without documentation. Oh man, I left it 202 00:10:22.080 --> 00:10:23.960 on my encounter back at home and just let me 203 00:10:24.000 --> 00:10:29.039 go get it. They came here intentionally illegally. They know 204 00:10:29.159 --> 00:10:30.320 they're here illegally. 205 00:10:30.799 --> 00:10:32.360 I don't see. And I was talking to you about 206 00:10:32.360 --> 00:10:33.080 this during the break. 207 00:10:33.120 --> 00:10:36.879 Why we should reward that behavior, that illegal action with 208 00:10:37.000 --> 00:10:41.000 a valid government issued driver's license. 209 00:10:41.279 --> 00:10:42.399 This is insane to me. 210 00:10:43.000 --> 00:10:46.960 Well, it's because of your worldview, and your worldview is 211 00:10:47.000 --> 00:10:52.080 the sane in correct worldview. But the worldview of Jared 212 00:10:52.159 --> 00:10:57.000 Polus and the Democratic Party in Colorado is that each 213 00:10:57.039 --> 00:11:01.080 and every one of these illegal immigrants is more important 214 00:11:01.120 --> 00:11:03.960 than you are, correct, And each and every one of 215 00:11:04.039 --> 00:11:07.919 these folks here illegally is more important than any current 216 00:11:08.000 --> 00:11:13.279 Colorado citizen. I mean, that's their view and their logic. 217 00:11:14.159 --> 00:11:20.000 Their logic is that, Okay, the current Colorado citizens already 218 00:11:20.039 --> 00:11:23.720 know who they're voting for, and each and every person 219 00:11:23.960 --> 00:11:27.559 that Polists and the rest of the Colorado Democrats succeed 220 00:11:27.600 --> 00:11:31.480 in attracting to the state is likely to be an 221 00:11:31.519 --> 00:11:36.840 additional vote overwhelmingly in their favor. That's their calculation, and 222 00:11:36.879 --> 00:11:40.679 that's why they are literally passing these laws that they 223 00:11:40.799 --> 00:11:45.120 understand are terrible for the people who are already citizens 224 00:11:45.120 --> 00:11:49.519 of Colorado. But they've already got the votes from those people, 225 00:11:49.879 --> 00:11:52.480 and some vote Republican, but they know they've already got 226 00:11:52.679 --> 00:11:56.279 certain percentage locked in for them, and so they are 227 00:11:56.320 --> 00:12:01.080 now adding these additional votes. They're importing vot votes, even 228 00:12:01.120 --> 00:12:03.919 though it will increase the number of Colorado citizens who 229 00:12:03.960 --> 00:12:06.720 are killed on the roadways, it'll increase the number of 230 00:12:06.799 --> 00:12:10.879 Colorado citizens who are maimed on the roadways, it'll increase 231 00:12:10.919 --> 00:12:14.960 the number of Colorado children who are killed on the roadways. 232 00:12:15.000 --> 00:12:16.840 They know all that, but. 233 00:12:18.360 --> 00:12:22.559 They're happy to sacrifice those lives to get additional Democrat votes. 234 00:12:22.759 --> 00:12:24.080 That's what's driving this. 235 00:12:24.279 --> 00:12:26.360 Now there's another part of this on the left right, 236 00:12:26.399 --> 00:12:31.360 same analysis, but the primary motivation is just destabilizing society. 237 00:12:31.759 --> 00:12:34.759 But the primary of motivation is is the votes. 238 00:12:34.679 --> 00:12:37.159 As proven by HICKL. Leuburn Bennett pushing a bill. 239 00:12:36.919 --> 00:12:40.159 That says ICE can't detain any legal immigrant at a 240 00:12:40.200 --> 00:12:43.960 polling place. So that's what's going on here. And they're 241 00:12:44.000 --> 00:12:47.039 betting and do you think it's a good bet? Ryan, 242 00:12:47.080 --> 00:12:49.559 And I'll go to calls and texts. They're betting that 243 00:12:49.679 --> 00:12:51.639 Colorado voters aren't going to punish him for it. 244 00:12:52.320 --> 00:12:52.679 Correct. 245 00:12:52.679 --> 00:12:56.679 And they've seen a voting pattern in Colorado which has 246 00:12:56.759 --> 00:13:00.919 caused them to conclude that that no matter how they perform, 247 00:13:01.039 --> 00:13:03.279 no matter how much crazy stuff they do, no matter 248 00:13:03.320 --> 00:13:06.840 how much it increases crime in the state and traffic 249 00:13:06.919 --> 00:13:09.960 deaths in the state and cost of living in the state, 250 00:13:10.159 --> 00:13:13.120 they will get elected overwhelmingly at the state level. So 251 00:13:13.159 --> 00:13:19.960 that's their calculation. Yeah, it's Dan, you're killing me. Make 252 00:13:20.039 --> 00:13:24.039 that lady's voice stop. Who's he referring to their Ooh, 253 00:13:24.159 --> 00:13:27.039 I don't know, Yeah, I think referring to the story 254 00:13:27.080 --> 00:13:27.879 we just listened to. 255 00:13:31.039 --> 00:13:31.240 Dan. 256 00:13:31.399 --> 00:13:33.639 After nine years, people can look so different. They can 257 00:13:33.639 --> 00:13:36.480 be using someone else's for eternity. That's clearly part of 258 00:13:36.480 --> 00:13:40.080 the motivation. We're talking about one of the most revealing 259 00:13:40.159 --> 00:13:44.919 parts of this new law where Polis says that if 260 00:13:44.919 --> 00:13:48.120 you're coming here illegally, you get a license in Colorado 261 00:13:48.200 --> 00:13:52.279 the first day, even if your ID has been expired 262 00:13:52.559 --> 00:13:55.879 for almost ten years. It can be expired for nine years, 263 00:13:55.879 --> 00:13:58.279 three hundred and sixty four days, and Polis will still 264 00:13:58.320 --> 00:14:01.879 accept it. And we ask the question why, and obviously 265 00:14:01.919 --> 00:14:05.360 it's to make it easier for people to come here 266 00:14:05.399 --> 00:14:09.200 illegally and get licenses, even if they're the person in 267 00:14:09.240 --> 00:14:12.600 the ID or not right, because again, the whole point 268 00:14:12.639 --> 00:14:15.399 of Polis in the left, we don't care who they are. 269 00:14:15.559 --> 00:14:18.639 We don't care what they've done, where they've done it, 270 00:14:18.679 --> 00:14:20.559 in the country they've come from. We don't care how 271 00:14:20.559 --> 00:14:23.360 many people they've killed on the roadways, in the country 272 00:14:23.399 --> 00:14:26.360 they came from. We want them here because they're additional 273 00:14:26.360 --> 00:14:31.679 Democrat votes, and so yeah, that's why. Yeah, your ID 274 00:14:32.279 --> 00:14:34.919 can be nine years and three hundred and sixty four 275 00:14:35.000 --> 00:14:37.919 days old and they'll still take it. And I think 276 00:14:38.000 --> 00:14:40.919 the texture is exactly right. So somebody looks at the 277 00:14:40.960 --> 00:14:42.720 photo and it doesn't match so well, that was me 278 00:14:43.000 --> 00:14:44.000 ten years ago. 279 00:14:44.279 --> 00:14:48.600 Oh you're good, Yeah, go out on our roads. Yeah insane. 280 00:14:48.600 --> 00:14:52.399 How about this text, which is really really really early 281 00:14:52.559 --> 00:14:57.240 on target. Where the heck did it go? I know 282 00:14:57.279 --> 00:14:59.279 it's hiding here somewhere because you have no way of 283 00:14:59.320 --> 00:15:03.200 deleting tech. Expect there right Ryan. Once Oh, I'm joking. 284 00:15:03.360 --> 00:15:06.080 Once it comes in, it has to stay there. How 285 00:15:06.120 --> 00:15:07.759 about this one? Yeah, this is the one I was 286 00:15:07.759 --> 00:15:08.399 talking about. 287 00:15:08.879 --> 00:15:09.080 Dan. 288 00:15:09.159 --> 00:15:12.120 Will the States supply and send an interpreter to the 289 00:15:12.159 --> 00:15:13.159 site of accidents? 290 00:15:13.279 --> 00:15:16.480 Or do I have to get my own? Oh my gosh, steaming. Yeah, 291 00:15:16.679 --> 00:15:17.080 you know why. 292 00:15:17.080 --> 00:15:19.720 That's such an important point. Here's a tactic I'm seeing 293 00:15:19.759 --> 00:15:22.279 commonly these days. Because I spend much of my time 294 00:15:22.919 --> 00:15:27.240 representing people who are survivors of those killed in truck 295 00:15:27.279 --> 00:15:31.480 crashes or seriously injured in truck crashes. What I'm seeing 296 00:15:31.600 --> 00:15:34.799 is this pattern where you have a Spanish speaking driver 297 00:15:35.840 --> 00:15:37.279 and this horrible crash happens. 298 00:15:37.399 --> 00:15:39.000 I resolved, I settled. 299 00:15:38.679 --> 00:15:40.559 One a couple of months ago, and I'm litigating one 300 00:15:40.639 --> 00:15:44.360 right now, and in fact took testimony on it in 301 00:15:44.440 --> 00:15:48.960 jail yesterday. And what you're seeing is the driver immediately 302 00:15:49.000 --> 00:15:53.879 says to the trooper who arrives no Oblain Glass, I 303 00:15:53.960 --> 00:15:57.480 need a Spanish speaking officer. And I think what the 304 00:15:57.600 --> 00:16:01.000 companies and drivers know is that it's going to take 305 00:16:01.039 --> 00:16:05.000 a long time to get a Spanish speaking person to 306 00:16:05.159 --> 00:16:07.879 the scene so that they can give a statement. 307 00:16:08.399 --> 00:16:09.759 So I think it's a tactic. 308 00:16:09.840 --> 00:16:13.840 Now, I've seen it last two cases with Spanish speaking drivers. 309 00:16:13.879 --> 00:16:16.159 The first thing they say is I need a Spanish 310 00:16:16.200 --> 00:16:19.000 speaking officer, And I think it's. 311 00:16:18.840 --> 00:16:23.120 A legal delay tactic. Yeah, well that makes perfect sense. Yeah, 312 00:16:23.279 --> 00:16:24.039 buys them time. 313 00:16:24.200 --> 00:16:27.159 Yeah, you know, how do you mirandize somebody that doesn't 314 00:16:27.200 --> 00:16:27.960 speak English. 315 00:16:27.960 --> 00:16:32.159 I think it's personally, my constitutionally protected opinion. I think 316 00:16:32.200 --> 00:16:33.919 there's a tactic going on out there. 317 00:16:34.200 --> 00:16:35.039 Totally agree. 318 00:16:35.519 --> 00:16:39.759 But yeah, and so, But then you bump up against this. 319 00:16:41.240 --> 00:16:47.039 Under federal motor carrier safety regulations, it's a violation for 320 00:16:47.080 --> 00:16:50.399 a driver to not be able to speak English. Well, 321 00:16:50.480 --> 00:16:52.840 enough to engage in normal everyday conversation. 322 00:16:53.399 --> 00:16:55.360 How can they read road signs exactly? 323 00:16:56.120 --> 00:16:59.519 And even if somebody could read a road sign, you cannot, 324 00:16:59.600 --> 00:17:04.319 in my view, you safely operate a semi a commercial 325 00:17:04.400 --> 00:17:09.000 vehicle if you can't converse in English, if you can't 326 00:17:09.039 --> 00:17:10.319 read and write English. 327 00:17:10.599 --> 00:17:12.240 Because Ryan, there may be certain. 328 00:17:12.039 --> 00:17:14.039 Road signs all of us know, right, the octagon, right, 329 00:17:14.079 --> 00:17:15.400 everybody knows that's a stop sign. 330 00:17:15.480 --> 00:17:18.839 But there are more complicated road signs. Yeah. 331 00:17:18.880 --> 00:17:23.279 So anyway, Federal motor Carrier Safety rags, they are right 332 00:17:23.359 --> 00:17:28.400 on point there. So listen, we've got a crisis, that's 333 00:17:28.440 --> 00:17:31.839 an understatement on our roadways in Colorado and across the 334 00:17:31.839 --> 00:17:34.640 country when it comes to truckers. And it's not limited 335 00:17:34.720 --> 00:17:37.519 to truckers who don't speak English. There are some truckers 336 00:17:37.559 --> 00:17:41.799 who don't speak English who tend to do a very 337 00:17:41.799 --> 00:17:44.920 good job often. But you still, you cannot operate a 338 00:17:44.960 --> 00:17:48.160 motor vehicle. You cannot operate a semi safely on our 339 00:17:48.240 --> 00:17:53.480 roadways if you're not conversing in English. But yeah, we've 340 00:17:53.480 --> 00:17:56.559 got a crisis overall. And Poliss made it much worse 341 00:17:56.559 --> 00:17:57.960 for Colorado. 342 00:17:57.759 --> 00:18:00.359 When he stepped in. And you have this this reckless truck? Right? 343 00:18:00.920 --> 00:18:03.960 Who just killed all these people on the roadway? I 344 00:18:04.000 --> 00:18:07.599 remember all the flaming wreckage, all the dead bodies and 345 00:18:08.039 --> 00:18:14.240 sentence convicted first degree well, pardon me, convicted vehicular homicide, 346 00:18:14.279 --> 00:18:18.359 multiple counts, sentenced to one hundred years. Kim Kardashian whispers 347 00:18:18.359 --> 00:18:21.039 in Polus's ear. Polus cuts the guy a big break. 348 00:18:21.079 --> 00:18:23.759 He'll be out in just five years. And what do 349 00:18:23.759 --> 00:18:25.680 you think that message is? What do you think that 350 00:18:25.799 --> 00:18:29.319 message is to truckers all over America? What you can 351 00:18:29.319 --> 00:18:30.640 get away with in Colorado? 352 00:18:31.039 --> 00:18:32.359 Here on the Dan Kaplas Show. 353 00:18:42.039 --> 00:18:44.480 You're listening to the Dan Kaplis Show podcast. 354 00:18:45.160 --> 00:18:47.000 That's the point, there must be. 355 00:18:47.240 --> 00:18:49.839 Oh, nothing's going to stop these illegals now from getting 356 00:18:49.839 --> 00:18:50.799 the driver's license. 357 00:18:51.160 --> 00:18:55.960 Yeah, talking about the Colorado Democrats, Jared Poulis, and it's 358 00:18:56.000 --> 00:18:58.799 in effect right now, you know they and we played 359 00:18:58.839 --> 00:19:01.680 a story on KOs they kind of glorifying it.
